I love the planets...I'm so glad you didn't say 'Pluto' (Yes, it's STILL a planet...I don't give a shit about the reclassification)...That would have made this one pretty difficult for me. :p
Orca was one of the first horror movies I ever saw...I was 10 years old and I saw it shortly after Carrie and Jaws.
Almost no one ever talks about that movie (even here), but it really got to me...So many emotions...It was pretty powerful for a 10 year-old, especially for the time it was made...I'll never get the scene with the baby whale out of my head as long as I live.
I realized as I got a little older that it was most likely made in an effort to capitalize from the success of Jaws, but that didn't make it any less captivating to me at the time.
I ended up reading the book because of the movie (it was a movie paperback, I'm sure you guys have seen them, with pictures from the movie and all, but still, how many 10 year-olds beg their parents to buy them a book?...Remember, it was the 70's, not the time of Goosebumps books, when MY kids had to have the newest one as soon as it hit the shelves), and I even owned the Mad Magazine that featured it
For the nostalgia...
My vote goes to Orca :)
