        Alien Aliens Blade Runner Donnie Darko Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Star Wars IV Star Wars V Terminator Terminator 2 The Matrix I really liked The 5th Element and Serenity, but I don't think they're (quite) up there. If you include Anime/Manga, add Ninja Scroll, Ghost in the Shell, Spirited Away, Howls Moving Castle. Also read good things about WALL-E (and a friend of mine is a colour specialist at Pixar and worked on the movie...so I really should go see it when it *eventually* reaches Australia:) Close encounters of the third kinds also gets an honourable mention...just for that sound-bite that has stuck in my head for 25+ years. And I finally got around to watching Metropolis last month, was pleasantly surprised at how just good it was!

          In no particular order: Dreamscape Repo Man Buckaroo Banzai Back to the Future Time Rider Capricorn One The Last Starfighter Flight of the Navigator Star Wars Electric Dreams Edit: Aw crap, forgot Blade Runner, it was hidden between Beatles and Bond. I guess it can replace Electric Dreams. Anyway, I only looked through what I have... if I don't have it, I didn't like it. :-D

          Great movies! I believe you may have been a child of the 80's :) I haven't seen Buckaroo Banzai so will be sure to check it out. Have you got the new edition of Blade Runner? Worth it!

              You might argue the category but Matrix is in there. Soylent Green as well.

                I wouldn't hold my breath - We didn't have wide-screen (or color) back then. But it's a classic that deserves to be preserved.

                    Alan Rickman is hillarious whatever role he plays. His performance in Dogma ("Did you have to use a whole can?") was something else, though. :laugh:

                      Same here. For me it's one of those movies that every time it is on, I have to watch. That, Poltergeist, and Transformers.

                                          Sorry – it should be a "Wing Commander". My lousy English is the reason for these literal Bulgarian-English translations in my mind.

                                          Oh come on! The games were incredible, I actually cried when they disbanded origin, but the movie? I can think of only two movies that could suck harder.
