I really enjoyed the 1984 film Electric Dreams. Great sound track and Virginia Madsen 
. I could believe a PC might take over the World, just not a vacuum tube.

Very much so, now that you mention it, but w/ out the teenage Ally Sheedy.
I saw it maybe once , when I was 7-8 ? Dunno for sure.
I just remember the voice of the computer, and went around for a while after, trying to mimic the sound.
Pretty standard sci fi for the era, as I recall. Might be worth a rental, if you're really into it. I can't recall hearing too much about it since it came out, so that might tell ya something.
* Silent Running and Andromeda Strain - good comparisons. Of course, at the age I saw it, I was far more into Godzilla type movies, so it seemed a bit dry for my likes. Might be a better story than I recall.

This movie had quite a futuristic look and feel to it back then. Once again scientists who mean well create a device that can destroy the world. This movie has a great supporting cast chock full of familiar faces from the 60's & 70's.

I had already read the book when the film came out, I also was intimidated by computers taking over. And guess what I do for a living,....computers!
(I think I wanted to make sure they didn't)

Wow. Someone else even knows about this movie!
I remember watching it on afternoon TV back in the mid 70's.
I paid some inflated price for the VHS tape on Ebay about 7 years ago. I watch it about once every 3 years.
Holds up OK. Always like the mood of the film.
