Guess a Classic Horror/Sci-Fi by a Description

[Mike Scott]

Island of Terror ?

I thought about that one, too.

[Mike Scott]

A man goes on vacation leaving no one behind to do his job.

[Lunkenstein]

I know this can't possibly be it, but the first thing that came to mind was SUPERMAN II (1980).

[Maceo1]

As good as any guess.  Could be "The Dark Knight Rises" or even "Home Alone". Need more description.

[Mike Scott]

Now, you guys know I'm not gonna do any of those movies. You're over thinking it. 

[Maceo1]

Could be dozens of sci-fi films where a guy goes to  space and leaves family behind.  I have no idea.

[Mike Scott]

Wait a minute. How does that sound like "Home Alone"? That one's about a kid who doesn't go on vacation.

[Maceo1]

Ha.   Dad goes on vacation...no parent home to take care of kid.

[Mike Scott]

Could be dozens of sci-fi films where a guy goes to  space and leaves family behind.  I have no idea.

Remember, we do all kinds of fantasy films here, not just sci-fi.

Maybe I could have used a better word, but the guy looks like a "man", throughout the whole movie.

Oh, OK! I get it.

[Maceo1]

OK, those were just joke examples anyway, but I thought  the subject was Classic Horror/Sci-Fi.
I give up unless you wish to expand on description. It's not one of those "takes a holiday " movies is it ?

[Mike Scott]

It's not one of those "takes a holiday " movies is it ?

I'll give it to you. DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY. A classic fantasy film!

[Maceo1]

Holy smoke ! My next thought was "Meet Joe Black".

[Mike Scott]

Holy smoke ! My next thought was "Meet Joe Black".

Give me Fredrick March, any day!

[Maceo1]

My turn....

Bunch of brainless hosers can't see what they are up against.
