A therapist friend told me that 2001 scene is the single one most often referred to by patients. nolabear Oct 2013 #16

The other thing that makes it a powerful scene kentauros Oct 2013 #17

True. In fact the ambient sound is damped. Kubrick was a genius. nolabear Oct 2013 #19

I have friends that loved it, kentauros Oct 2013 #20
