Time Bandits generally seems to be a beloved movie, his second most beloved after Brazil.

More than Twelve Monkeys? Outside of film buff circles Twelve Monkeys is by far his most famous movie, isn’t it? Followed by Fear and Loathing?

The Joe Dante (It’s A Good Life) and George Miller (Nightmare at 20,000 Feet) sequences of the Twilight Zone movie are really good, the Landis and Spielberg sequences aren’t. Nancy Cartwright is in the Joe Dante sequence, and then that episode was parodied on The Simpsons, although The Simpsons based theirs on the episode and not the movie, which is fairly different. But the Simpsons’ parody of Nightmare at 20,000 Feet seems to be more based on the movie, using the movie’s monster design.

I’ve never actually seen Logan’s Run, even though I remember seeing it being advertised on TNT as a kid, and it looks like the kind of thing I was always watching on TNT.

Edit: speaking of “got blown away by Star Wars,” did I bring up that goddawful Damnation Alley before? It came out in 1977 and, like Star Wars, it was released by 20th Century Fox. The studio expected it to make more money than Star Wars, which is totally mind boggling. Guys with no real mission or objective drive around a post apocalyptic wasteland in big trucks that are not integrated into any real action scene, and then it just ends abruptly with a bunch of nonsense where the climate is restored suddenly by nothing that was foreshadowed in the plot or caused by anything in the movie. The only good part is when Paul Winfield is eaten by cockroaches. Barely anything else even happens.
The book is about a badass proto-Mad Max/Snake Pliskin anti-hero who has to drive across post-Apocalyptic American on a mission to deliver medicine before medicine before everyone in Boston dies of a plague and it climaxes with a Roadwarrior-style chase/battle between his armored truck and a biker gang. Nothing that I put in bold is in the movie.

I don’t know how Make Room, Make Room (basis for Soylent Green) ranks in Harry Harrison’s canon, but Harrison himself was a significant author.
