This opener just blew people's minds up it was so different from anything else they'd seen on the big screen up to that point. I think the next film to even come close to that was the very first Star Wars when it was released in 1977.

Ah,
2001, along with
The Bugs Bunny Show cultivated my love for classical music.
And oh sir, if you want to see a 70mm print of
2001 Space Odyssey, and have a chance to pop down to the city of Melbourne in Australia, look up the following website:

This theatre regularly screens 2001 along with a whole host of other classics.
Well worth a visit for the film-lover who comes to Melbourne.
