Ok, I know this is totally a love-it/hate-it sort of movie. I know it's long, self-indulgent, and mostly plotless. I still love it.
Anytime I come across it on tv I watch a huge chunk of it. The set design, art direction, music/sound design, cinematography, and special effects are groundbreakingly brilliant. These special effects still hold up 40 YEARS later. Just think about that the next time you watch 2001.... it's 40 years old. Amazing. I love the audacity of the film structure. I love the hypnotic (many say boring) pace. Many scenes are just jaw-droppingly beautiful... most notably the entire "open the pod bay doors, HAL" sequence.
