HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Due to the extremely cold weather, the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library has delayed the start of its Monday night movie series.

"Hollywood Science Fiction Films of the '70s" will now start on Jan. 13 at 6 p.m. at the Main Library downtown, 915 Monroe St. The first film, "Colossus: The Forbin Project," features a scene that scify.com ranked as the fifth scariest in history.  Admission is free for all movies.

The program schedule:

  • Jan. 13 - "Colossus: The Forbin Project" (1970) Eric Braeden, Susan Clark. Things turn out badly when a super computer is placed in charge of the nation's defense. This rarely viewed film is a dystopian classic.
  • Jan. 27 - "The Andromeda Strain" (1971)  Arthur Hill, James Olsen. Robert Wise directed this exciting version of Michael Crichton's best seller about an alien life form threatening humanity.
  • Feb. 3 - "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) Richard Dreyfuss, Melinda Dillon. Steven Spielberg's classic changed the face of science fiction films forever. We'll watch the original 1977 version.
  • Feb. 10 - "Alien" (1979) Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt. Humans discover a terrifying alien species in Ridley Scott's sci-fi/ horror masterpiece. We'll watch Scott's director cut version.
