        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..."

                              I agree, and I raise you one Christopher Walken. :) Christopher Walken wasn't in that particular movie, but any movie he's in, is worth watching IMO -- ...Coca Cola, sometimes war...

                                      2001 was a true leap in SF films and is still magnificent. The tigress is here :-D

                                      The thing that stands out about 2001 to this day is that it was pure science fiction. Sure, Blade Runner was good, but it was as much a detective story as sf, Alien was good, but it was more thriller than true sf. The Star Wars movies hardly even qualify as SF as the same exact plot could have been set in any time and place with any technology. 2001 remains on top. "Benedict Arnold was a war hero too."

                                        I vote for "The Day the Earth Stood Still"! I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.
