Sorry – it should be a "Wing Commander". My lousy English is the reason for these literal Bulgarian-English translations in my mind.
The narrow specialist in the broad sense of the word is a complete idiot in the narrow sense of the word.
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.

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

Which one? The original cartoon or the one that came out last summer?

I have a fun game for all of you still in this thread. Guess the age of the persons based on the movies. I would guess martin_hughes 40+ and Dirk Higbee 21. Now guess my age: 2001 Blade Runner Alien & Aliens The Matrix The Abyss (Directors cut, the original release is crap)

Which one? The original was highly innovative.

Right! And you can add this other one also from Tarkovsky, "Stalker", which is absolutely beautiful. my top 3 (3 different Sci-Fi flavors): Blade Runner Alien Stalker Within "recent" movies, the ones I retain are The Matrix and Sunshine (and I don't even count things such as Van Damme's and other Doom-like sci-fi crap) Eric

Well for a start, I wouldn't have lamers like those two (and I can count up to 10 - you stopped at 4). Instead, and in no particular order: Alien Terminator Predator The Empire Strikes Back Blade Runner 5th Element The Matrix Invasion of the Body Snatchers The Day the Earth Stood Still Aliens

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

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:

You all have shocked and appalled me. All of these movies, and yet no mention of TRON, or The Last Starfighter? You have no love for some of the '80s classics. Ha ha ha, disregard that — I suck code. Curse me for not reading the entire thread before posting — I thought I HAD; I hadn't realized there was more than one page. My two all-time faves are the two above in that order, followed by Explorers — while Explorers wasn't the BEST movie ever (particularly for the '80s), I always liked the (what I presume to be) indestructible, air-tight, digital forcefield. I want to be able to duplicate that circuitboard and make that thing. tl;dr: What would I add? * TRON * The Last Starfighter * Explorers * Paycheck * The Matrix (it was pretty cool -- the sequels were meh, but the first was awesome) * The Time Machine (the newer one with Brent Spiner, specifically) * The War of the Worlds (another classic) That's about all I can think of. For the moment. :)

Of all the movies mentioned in the thread, one omitted was "Enemy Mine" starring Dennis Quaid and Lou Gosset Jr. The effects were quite low budget, but the script and the acting was absolutely outstanding.
I lost my epiphany. :doh:
