              I’d have to say Contact (Jodie Foster) & Gravity especially for its special effects

                      Existenz - ok it's Cronenberg so it's bound to be a bit yucky in parts, however I thought the ideas and story line were done well and it's layers within layers are interesting. TimeCrimes - perhaps the best time travelling movie I have seen where everything actually hangs together and makes sense. The Man From Earth - like Gattaca its more like a play than a movie. The movie is a long conversation between a group of friends, one of whom has an interesting secret they reveal within the movie. The interesting part is seeing how people respond to what he reveals. Avalon - a Polish Japanese collaborative film about a distopian future and a VR game. Stalker - ok it's long and boring, actually no it's not! It's a brilliant film!

                          One of the all-time worst movies ever. I recently watched it for the first time and I couldn't believe the end was like, "Humans, don't nuke each other." What!?! I watched 93 minutes of this crap so you could lecture me at the end?! X| Yes, it's a good idea not to nuke each other. Thanks. :laugh: And pick up all your trash too. PS - Just trying to create some controversy for discussion but I'm serious about it being the worst.

                          By today's standards yes it's pretty poor, especially that scene where Klatu picks up the girl and she screams and faints. But ... when I first saw it in 1950 something I did think it was brilliant.

                                    Certainly The Blob (1958 version) should be in there. Corny, freaky, weird, hilarious, classic.

                                      Starship Troopers was so bad I couldn't finish watching, must have missed the good part.

                                        "Newer" is NOT automatically better, only Different. (And more complex and bug ridden when it comes to all of the "boutique" languages / frameworks out there

                                          Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (both the 50s and the 70s versions) Might be more horror than SF. Silent Running Maybe someone's already suggested them (i'm catching up with the thread)
