        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:

                Fair do's and agreement on Logan's Run. Man, I loved Farrah and Jenny Agutter in that film.

                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.

                    How about the most recent Battlestar Galactica from the SciFi channel. I loved the old series when I was a kid so didn't start watching the new series till recently. I just started off with the mini-series and loved it!

                        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

                          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!

                                5th Element is dreadful. Sunshine I've not seen (but brother said is dreadful). The other two are OK.
