Sci-fi movies

[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:

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

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

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

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!

That's a tv series, not a movie.

H.G. Wells War of the Worlds... is a classic.

Science Fiction? How about Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth"?
