Zardoz Robocop Enemy Mine Johnny Mnemonic Cloverfield Lifeforce - if only to see Mathilda May play 'diver suit' vampire... Resident Evil Bicentennial Man I am Legend Flash Gordon - great Queen soundtrack The Abyss Back to the Future Dreamscape Tron and the be-all end-all of SciFi movies: Galaxy Quest :-D

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)

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

I was scared of my cupboard for months after seeing that. I was about eight years old. :laugh:

Two of my favorite lines of his: "'When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.' The benefits of a classical education." (Die Hard) "Just a minute. Robin Hood steals money from my pocket, forcing me to hurt the public, and they love him for it? That's it, then! Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!" (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves)

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. :)

From the Horror Sci-fi genre: Event Horizon Comedy Sci-fi: Ice Pirates (if you haven't seen this you must... in the least to learn about Space Herpes) Action Sci-fi: Pitch Black Chronicles of Riddick

[User 3401432]

This is the voice of Colossus... Forbin Project

[jetwash]

Not necessarily in order: 2001 A Space Odyssey The Fly (The Jeff Goldblum version) 12 Monkeys Tron Collossus The Forbin Project Lawnmower Man Blade Runner I have to include the First Star Wars movie, it was groundbreaking at the time. Metropolis Total Recall

[Aaron Cutshall]

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:

[Felix D]

Well, for my list, some of 'em are, Sunshine - Superb! 2010 - Still holds its own, almost 25 years later! Pitch Black Aliens The Hidden The Thing (John Carpenter's 1982 version) War of the Worlds (The 1953 classic) The Andromeda Strain (The original & the A&E remake) Stargate (and a BIG THANKS for its launch of the TV storylines) Felix De La Torre, Jr., aka, DLT

[Lost User]

Mine would be: Terminator (1 & 2) Total Recall 5th Element Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ;P

[bdewulf]

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Planet of the Apes.

[pboucher]

Thank you guys. I was wondering if someone would suggest some of the movies from your lists. 2001 - A Space Odyssey Alien(s) Logan's Run Solaris Soylent Green I would add The Andromeda Strain (1971) I think this message node is written and maintained by old (40-55) classic SF lovers.

some fine films listed in all these posts, I'd have to add 'Silent running' to the list a real classic.
