The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Yes, this is the min-series but when you watch it on video or DVD the whole thing clocks in at just over three hours so we'll treat it as a film. Simply put, this is the version to see, never mind the big budget screw-up. All you need to know to properly compare the two is the "computer animated" sequences for this version were in fact all done by hand and they blow the pants off of the "real" computerized work in the new one. Peter Jones narration, can't be touched and Simon Jones owns the role of Arthur Dent. If you come across somebody who did not enjoy this series...run away....fast...or whip them with your wet towel.
