2001 is my all-time favorite, and I couldn't agree more with you about it STILL being arguably the best looking movie ever made. I watched it a bit later - my mid 20s I think - and I couldn't believe it was a fucking decade older than Star Wars. And like with Star Wars, I expected an exclusively in-space movie, so imagine my shock when the first 20 minutes depict "The Dawn of Man" with warring monkey tribes. No movie has ever subverted my expectations more, or made me blink less. In terms of scope, technical mastery, and artistic vision, it towers over any other film I've ever seen. Its reputation has only grown, and at this point, if people wanna bring up the pompous "consensus GOAT film" argument, I think it narrows down to this, Citizen Kane, and maybe The Godfather.

I took my brother to see it last summer during its 50th anniversary re-release, and man, it's also an AMAZING theater movie. The sound overpowered me in that IMAX theater.
