Parental carelessness aside, fine choice for the 'cave.

Well, I suppose Ridley Scott is British. But I'm pretty sure it was an American production.

I'm sure Ridley Scott is the focus of the exhibit so I'll let that one pass, its her haughty art snobbery tone describing this high art film she was going to share with me in order to broaden my horizons attitude that I won't let her live down anytime soon.

On a total tangent....

Blade Runner made an art form of the future as worn out rather than new and shiny. Run down areas of town, old cars, etc...

Star Wars also touched on this concept. The Millenium Falcon and Luke's home all showed signs of ware. I'm trying to think of any main stream Science Fiction movies pre-Star Wars that depicted used/worn out items from the future. 2001 depicted a world where everything looked brand new, Planet of the Apes had lot's of low-tech stuff but it all looked new as best as I can remember.

A Clockwork Orange depicted a run-down future. Not 2001, but Kubrick nonetheless.

Demolition Man, District 9, 5th Element...

Not quite what I'm going for here. There are plenty of apocalypse type scenarios. I'm talking about future stuff, space ships, hover cars, etc.. that are depicted as old, warn out, used. Where the future has a past that's still in our future.
