So many choices!

Actually, I know what I want to enter, but I think it requires digging out the DVD, which I'm not going to get to tonight... we'll see if it's even still available by tomorrow!

Hey, somebody had to do it!

 

[Kai "the spy"]

You realize, of course, that once I'm home, I'll spend my whole evening creating avatars.

 

[Owain Taggart]

So anything's safe as long as it's before 1977? Nothing from that year, correct? Here's my entry.

 

[Orac]

Correct.

A scene from Dr. Who and The Daleks (1965 film)

I was going to go with something from the first few years of the show, but since the show lasted past 1977 I didn't know if it was eligible. So, I went with one of the two color movies (that adapted tV Who stories but weren't connected to the show).

Le Voyage dans la Lune, 1902

 

[Avro Arrow]

What do you know... it's still available!

- The Time Machine (1960)

(Surprisingly, my second choice hasn't been entered yet either, and I thought it would have been one of the first ones...)

So kultig der Tanz auch ist, ich denke der Erste ist der bessere Avatar. So oder so, eine Stimme hast du auf jeden Fall!

 

[BigJake]

The dancing from Orion is classic.

From Solaris (the '72 Tarkovsky original):

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

I picked the first one, because it actually shows the ship, the crew and the actual crisp quality of the film material better.
As good as the dancing scene is, it's just a few extras, so... (I'll leave it up as a non competing entry, though, just so you guys can still enjoy it. )

^Also, the animation of the gif is way better.
