Favorite Sci-Fi films
 

What are some of you guys favorite sci-fi films? Its definatley a genre that delves in horror more often than not. Some of mine are:

Robocop
The Terminator
THX-1138
Enemy Mine
Alien Nation
Bladerunner
Strange Days
Hardware
Class Of 1999

Yours.......???

Aw, gosh, I like STAR WARS (the 1977 original), and THE FIFTH ELEMENT (pretty crazy!), and DARK STAR, and THUNDERBIRDS (the various versions of the puppet show), and even a few others.

I forgot about Dark Star..... very cool movie I'll have to watch it again. Never really liked Fifth Element. I think Empire Strikes Back is my favorite SW film.... I haven't checked out the new one yet I heard it was pretty good might do that this week.

A few of my favorites:

Videodrome (yep this one again...LOL)
Terminator
Dark City
A Clockwork Orange
Strange Days
eXistenZ
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Matrix (first film ONLY!!!)

The 13th floor
Event Horizon
Galaxy Quest (true, a comedy, but still sci-fi)
Total Recall

and, by prediction - "serenity"

Cronenberg fan... awesome! I really dig his films Videodrome and eXistenZ (a lot of people I know hate this movie but what the fuck do they know ;) )being two of my favorites. If you liked the first Matrix movie you should check out the Manga film Ghost In The Shell I watched it yesterday and really enjoyed it.

People HATE eXistenZ??
Crazy.

Yeh a lot of people over here hate it with a passion. None of them were Cronenberg fans (or know who he is) tho so maybe it was a bit to out there for them. I think the Matrix did a good job in eclipsing this one at the time. I guess its not a film for everyone but I loved it.

Star Wars- all

2001

Matrix

Never really dug The Matrix

I know the story has been beaten to death but I liked the martial arts scenes.

Alien Quad
Bladerunner
Equilibrium
Event Horizon
Matrixs
Predators
Robocop
Terminators

Yep, Cronenberg is one of my favorite directors. But I don't know a whole lot of Cronenberg fans myself. In fact, most of the people I know are just outright sickened by his movies and hardly ever make it through most of them. :p

Just added Ghost in the Shell to my Netflix list. :D

oh yeah

I didn't include Alien because I look at it as horror.

Hope you enjoy it! Yeh Cronenberg's an aquired taste and his films are pretty twisted.

thoroughly enjoyable

Especially the ending......

event horizon
the thing
forbidden planet
matrix
and absolutely none of that star wars pish

I never really thought about it but I'm starting to realize that Star Wars is a ''love it or hate it'' film. I've never heard anybody say it was ok or wasn't that good, it's just great or horrible.

As you will have worked out i am in the hate it category, but i do realise there must be something about it for so many people to be huge fans
I just think it ended up being more of a soap opera a la star trek

I'm just sick to death of it. Probably won't watch it again till I have kids and show it to them.

the three recent films were a bit of a soap opera.

Episode I and II are fucking terrible, some good moments. Hopefully the third will be better.
