Forbidden Planet, and this is just my opinion, btw, was the inspiration for much of the original Star Trek series as far as look, feel, atmosphere, and set design. There's even an "away team" of captain, first officer, and doctor. I saw this movie for the first time about 1976, and I kept having a deja vu about it until I realized it felt like a classic Trek episode. Not saying Roddenberry stole anything, just that he probably saw this and took inspiration from it. John "Must...keep...placing...hesitation...between...words." - my very bad Shatner impression.
This is not my "second childhood". I'm not finished with the first one yet.
