If you're looking for a gripping film to watch, you simply must consider this one. The film has topped a list on Time Out for being the number one best film of all time.

It's one that has become a key part of pop culture and over the years, it has retained its status. 2001: A Space Odyssey is based around a mysterious artifact which is uncovered on the Moon. After it is discovered, a spacecraft manned by two humans and one supercomputer is sent to Jupiter to find its origins.

One person on IMDB said: "Greatest Movie of All Time. Instead of writing a paragraph, I'll give four good reasons why 2001 is the greatest cinema experience of all time."

Another person penned: "2001: A Space Odyssey is my favourite film of all time for simply one reason: the ending. Kubrick's ambiguous finish to this suspenseful trip will leave you debating and theorising its purpose for a long time.

"Further positive aspects include its eerie score and music throughout (notably at the beginning), the visually pleasing aesthetic, and contrastingly the use of silence to truly prove that "no one can hear you scream in space.

"I strongly recommend watching this film in a dark room with no distractions in order to achieve the full cinematic experience, and hopefully it will not disappoint."

The idea for the film came from the short story The Sentinel by sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke, who would become Kubrick's great collaborator on the movie.

The British Film Institute said the film is Stanley Kubrick's "masterpiece."

According to reports, real astronauts praised the accuracy of the film. When Apollo 11 astronauts went to the moon a year later, people remarked how similar it looked to Kubrick's vision.

If you're hoping to watch the film, it is available on Amazon Prime.
