It's an uneven film, but The Black Hole contains haunting scenes which every 80s child remembers. It's so unscientific, it might qualify as science fantasy.

This is one of the best BBC Micro ones, Citadel. I spent hours exploring it. 8 colour, 160 x 256. No limits as to where you use colour.

At first, you think it's making fun of Star Wars (1977) and Alien (1979), and then you realise that it was released in 1974 and therefore influenced the look of those movies. Admittedly, 2001 (1968) had already been released by then which obviously provided some inspiration.

Sleeping patterns? Now we're getting into my territory as I've been using Python/Matplotlib to explore my sleeping patterns as I have what's called a circadian rhythm disorder (25.7 hour days). Here's sleep (from app), sleep on a 25.7 hour day and jogging (from spreadsheet).
