Film director Robert Wise has died at the age of 80. Amongst his films were The Sound of Music and West Side Story.
As well as these piffling little films :rolleyes: he also directed Star Trek: The Motion Picture

I've got dyslexic fingers. That should be 91

Never realised the guy who did the sound of music did TMP.
It was such a boring movie, he should have shoved a few songs into it to jazz it up.

And don't forget The Day The Earth Stood Still - one of the all time classics. "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!" :thumbsup:
Great shame - a good old age, though :)

The man who directed 2 of the best sci fi films ever. A sad loss indeed

The day the earth stood still sure, but I don't think that the andro-meda (hyphenated to stop the filter renaming it "Kev Trek") strain, while a good movie, is quite up there as the best.
Unless of course you mean that exercise-in-paint-drying, lookout here comes a big scary cloud movie that is......nah, you couldn't possibly mean that
