I remember seeing Silent Running years ago and while my memory of the movie isn't that great, the message of "don't tear down all the rain forests and plant life you fucks" was clear. Given that it was made in 1971, I think it would count as 'classic'. The look of the movie reminded me of 2001: A Space Odyssey, which as I found out was also directed by the same guy.
Skipping ahead ten years, another movie I enjoyed to different degrees over time was Heavy Metal. I'm not entirely sure it melds with the traditional visual image of science fiction, as there were some notably fantasy elements. For an animated and well... 'adult' film (So would say the nudity was simply there for the "Hey look, tits!" factor) it was fairly enjoyable, along with the odd message of "Don't fuck with green marbles". Plus it had John Candy in one part, so that's something.
How ya doing, buddy?
