Lost In Space. If you can’t get the Footloose references in Guardians Of The Galaxy, then the title will probably go right past you.

For those of us who have passed the Big Four-Oh (and then some), Lost In Space conjures up fond memories – catchy John Williams themes, tinfoil spacesuits, recycled props from 1950s flicks, and lizards with papier mache frills stuck on to pass them off as giant monsters.
