Remember my request for
sci-fi music? Six months later, I'm finally ready to make my CD mix. Almost. Last night I figured out how to record mp3 audio from DVD on my Mac, and now I want to rip key dialogue snippets from classic sci-fi films. I went for Khan spitting at Kirk from his grave, but there's too much incidental music. I think maybe I can get Ripley signing off.
What other short, iconic soundclips from sci-fi films should I look for? The intro to the old
Battlestar Galactica? Something from
Logan's Run?
Blade Runner bits? Eerie, ethereal, otherworldly, outer-space stuff is best. (Bonus points if you can direct me to a source that's already done the work for me; right now I'm looking at a several-week Netflix slog.)

Lately I've been on a sort of Africa kick. I'm mostly ignorant of the continent, and think that's a shame.
Can you recommend good books and films on Africa? (Any aspect is fine: big or small.)
