Master of the World

[bandit86]

For all you VSF fans in the USA(I dont think you can get Hulu outside of the US)one of my favorite movies when I was a kid has been put up on HULU.com  Juiles Verns Master of the World with Vincent price and  Carles Bronson a bit outdated but well worth a watch, even if you watch it just to see the Airship Albatross.  Really a cool movie

I got that on DVD for last xmas. It is well worth a watch although it always makes me think Capt. Nemo in the air.

Uh Nice.

I had never heard of it. But there's got to be a host of Jules Verne films out there.

unfortunately, the movie copies the concept of "20000 leagues ubder the sea" and the main plot of Verne's two books, instead of being a true filmic adaptation.

But nice to see and a good inspiration for VSF, allthough I recommend the books instead.
just MHO

Saw a bit of this on TV - I love the airship 'Albatross' with its multiple banks of rotors. There's clearly much VSF inspirational stuff there...

For those outside of HULU's domain, here it is on youtube, not sure about the quality

The literary Robur and the literary Nemo had many similarities:

There's something so specially cool about airships though:

I've a friend who can't bring himself to rewatch.

Me, I still love it, though guilty pleasure. I suppose it's part that I first saw in a real drive-in theatre, in the wilds of Kansas, as a child. ;->=

I'll have to mention this to him; he's got Hulu, while I don't...
