I cast a 'yea' vote for 'Silent Running' as one of the best SF movies I've
seen.  What impressed me was not the robots or the special effects or any
of that stuff.  What impressed me was the simple, thoughtful, and meaningful
theme (overdone? perhaps).  It is for the same reason that I liked
Rollerball (sue me) -- it differed from the standard 'shoot-em-up' 
western ripoffs.
