I've got a friend coming over in a couple days and we decided we were in the mood to watch some old fashioned sci-fi. Or, something newer would work as well. I'd like to find something with a leftist bent, but I'm unsure where to start, or what's out there. I've never been a big movie buff.

Suggestions?

Solaris (Tarkovsky, 1972). Easily one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's available for free on YouTube with subtitles in English and a few other languages. Silent Running (Trumbull, 1972). This movie inspired the original set of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's not a masterpiece but it made me really emotional. The Fly (Neumann, 1958). A classic in sci-fi horror. There's a 1986 remake by Cronenberg, but I can't vouch for it as I haven't seen that version yet. Asteroid City (Anderson, 2023). Very Wes Anderson. Made my eyes hurt when I saw it in the theater. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick, 1968). A visually stunning classic featuring evil robots. M3GAN (Johnstone, 2022). A horror story with a sci-fi premise. I like when robots get to be completely selfish.

it's a masterpiece and IMO much better than the original

Have you seen "Eva" from 2011? If not, go in blind, I think you'll like this one.
