I can think of only four references to cryonics in film/TV:
1) Clarke's 2001
2) 6 Million Dollar Woman
3) Woody Allen's Sleeper
4) Austin Powers
In reference 1, it was only *sorta* cryonics: suspended animation
for the long trip to Saturn.
Reference 2, cryonics was used as an advanced medical procedure,
holding a patient until she could be repaired by robotics. She lost
her most recent memories. Poor Lee Majors.
Refs 3 and 4 were both in goofy comedies, both times where
cryonics was used on a healthy person and used as a time travel
to the future device.
Any others that come to mind? spike
