Sometimes a low budget film can contain hidden treasures.
I'm watching The Sound of Horror, a Spanish horror film from 1966. There are moments when the background music is just wonderful.
Another example, from a regular budget film, is during the closing credits of Frequency (2000) where the music takes quite an amazing beautiful turn for a few seconds.

I have read and enjoyed science fiction since I was 11 or 12 years old.
The first sci-fi book I remember reading was Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles which I loved then and still loved the last time I re-read it.
In those years of growing up sci-fi taught me a great deal about life, ethics, philosophy, meaning, values...
But now I just can't seem to find the same interest. I try reading sci-fi books but I don't seem to connect. I often return them to the library unfinished.
Perhaps it's just that moving into old age I don't look toward the future in the same way. I'm probably more centered on the present.
Mysteries are what interest me the most now.
