Stanley Kubrick's science fiction epic, "2001: A Space Odyssey", was released 50 years ago this month. The film festival, Cannes Classic, will commemorate the occasion by showing an unrestored 70mm print of the 1968 masterpiece next month.

    "Is the 50th annaversary more significant than 49?"

    Tradition says yes.

    "Will we be notified about the 51st?"

    I cannot say for sure.

    I can say for sure, however, that when "Star Wars" turns 50 there won't be any prints available of the movie that was screened in 1977.
