It's not the greatest flick, and it doesn't really hold up to multiple viewings, but this story of a prehistoric man frozen in ice and brought back to life absolutely captivated me as a kid. I loved seeing the Iceman's reactions to witnessing modern people and technology. The message is pretty heavy handed, but the experience had a lasting effect on me...I grew up and got a degree in anthropology.

Nice of them to do an sf film that has nothing to do with rockets or aliens or anything, but it's not quite as moving or as poignant as the filmmakers hoped it would be
