        Silent Running - Bruce Dern's best role. The Matrix - a triumph of black leather and guns over content and plot! The tigress is here :-D

          Not really Sci-Fi though was it? It was aired in the UK at the time (and has been repeated a billion times since on the Sci-Fi channel for some reason - it was set in the present day IIRC - even if it was meant to be set a year in the future, I still don't think it counts as Sci-Fi!). There was a similar UK one called "Threads" which was really, really scary - it pulled no punches whatsoever and rather than finishing a few months after the war, it showed how life might be a decade or so later (medieval basically, ending with a gorl of 13 or so giving birth to a horribly deformed baby). I still get the willies just thinking about it (I have it on DVD as it has been hard to come by in the past).

                Bladerunner is my favorite movie of all time bar none. The Bladerunner computer game released a few years ago was also amazing.

                                Ditto. I don't have a problem with the story though. I just think it's badly filmed (Kubrick was not a god! ;P) -- ...Coca Cola, sometimes war...

                                  Oh come on! What about Lost In Space? That rocked! It had way better robots in it than Blade Runner, sheesh. ;) Yeah, Blade Runner must be up there. 2001 too. Alien. And this may garner some laughter but I really, really loved the Fifth Element. Le loo multipass. Oh man :-D I also thought the recent Solaris was very good. I haven't seen the original or read the book, it was just a good movie in it's own right. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan wrote: "I always knew that somewhere deep inside that likable, Save the Whales kinda guy there lurked the heart of a troublemaker..."

                                          Really? I have heard that some people really liked it - so I went and saw but the acting seemed terrible to me. All a matter of taste - I guess. ----------------------------- All truth passes through 3 stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
