Dark Star (1974)
Aboard the starship Dark Star, a small crew of laid-back astronauts is on a mission to destroy unstable planets that threaten future colonization. After years in deep space, the team begins to unravel—facing malfunctioning equipment, philosophical bombs, and a mischievous alien mascot that resembles a beach ball.
Directed by John Carpenter in his feature debut and co-written with Dan O’Bannon, *Dark Star* is a low-budget sci-fi comedy that blends existential themes with absurdist humor. Though initially overlooked, it has since become a cult classic for its offbeat charm and influence on later science fiction films.
