... who can add something next?

Shoplifter · 05-15-2009, 10:16 PM

I saw this weird little film called "The Objective" the other day. It was directed by the guy who did the first Blair Witch. It was low budget but very strange. Liked it.

MediaGuy · 05-15-2009, 11:22 PM

It's hard to pinpoint "one" single movie...

2001: A Space Odyssey or The Matrix would probably take my top vote. But....

Blade Runner
Soylent Green
Altered States
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Phase IV
Silent Running
Planet of the Apes
A Clockwork Orange
Star Wars (though not strictly science fiction)
Forbidden Planet
Metropolis
They Live
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Time Machine
The Fly
Robocop
Starship Troopers
Terminator
Alien
Aliens
The Invasion
Pitch Black
John Carpenter's The Thing
Enemy Mine
The Lathe Of Heaven (tv movie)
Dark City
The War Of The Worlds (both versions)
Minority Report
Gataca
The Brood
The Omega Man
The Day of the Triffids
Logan's Run
The Road Warrior
The New Star Trek, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (plus Wrath Of Khan and The Voyage Home)

... are all seminal in one way or another. And I'm probably forgetting a bunch, that don't even "seem" like sci-fi like Back to the Future but which actually follow principles very nicely...

You could even say movies like 28 Days

Zebra · 05-15-2009, 11:28 PM

Iron Giant - A cartoon, but still very much sci-fi. The part where he freaks out and becomes a killing machine with all those crazy weapons was simply awesome.

True that was good sci-fi/allegory.\

Wall-E was another excellent animated SF, and Fantastic Planet, Titan AE... seems to me there were others, but I just can't think of them.

stonehammer · 05-15-2009, 11:50 PM

Starship Troopers and Dark City were my teenage favourites

now i guess resident evil

Darkland · 05-15-2009, 11:58 PM

Solaris - Both versions are good
The Fountain

dig420 · 05-16-2009, 12:46 AM

Space Odyssey, and one of my favorites that is seriously underrated imho is Event Horizon, with Laurence Fishburne. I love that movie!

I went to see Event Horizon the night it came out and I didn't care for it much. I got home from the movie to find out my house had burned to the ground while I was at the movies. Now it ranks as my all time least favorite movie.

dig420 · 05-16-2009, 12:57 AM

I heard it's better at home than at the actual theater, because the sound effects are so loud in the theater it's almost unbearable. At home, however, we have total control ;)

mynameisjim · 05-16-2009, 02:12 AM

Not my favorite but I haven't seen it listed. Serenity was a cool little sci-fi movie.

cam_girls · 05-16-2009, 02:39 AM

All time fave - Terminator
Special mention - Star Wars, Return of the Jedi, Demolition Man, Logan's Run,
Starship Troopers, Johnny Mnemonic, Robocop

FilthyRob · 05-16-2009, 02:48 AM

I really like the movie Sunshine lately

Danny B · 05-16-2009, 06:54 AM

Akira
Blade Runner (set the bar)
Minority Report (didn't expect it to be that good)
A.I.

The original "The Day The Earth Stood Still"

sunrise · 05-16-2009, 08:57 AM

The Fifth Element

SilentKnight · 05-16-2009, 09:06 AM

2001: A Space Odyssey - I saw it in theaters the year it came out...awesome on the bigscreen but loses a little impact on TV.

The first two Alien/Aliens movies raised the benchmark for sci-fi/horror.

Blade Runner (f/x ahead of its time)

Carpenter's remake of The Thing was great.

Planet of the Apes (the first Heston one)

ThumbLord · 05-16-2009, 09:10 AM

Soylent Green

I had to cross those I haven't seen to check it out

Philip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury, William GIbson come to my mind

I would add 361 Fahrenheit, Event Horizon wasn't too bad neither

Total Recall is an excellent movie too, saw that again just recently

All time favorite I would have to go with Blade Runner

Smartest recent sci fi movie was "Idiocracy" - incredibly funny but incredibly true

I forgot John Carpenter's Escape from NY - classic!

DraX · 05-16-2009, 12:31 PM

"Contact" was pretty good with Jodie Foster

DefaultMan · 05-16-2009, 12:52 PM

Great list. Good to see you have 2 Charlton Heston classics on the list. BTW I had no idea they made a TV movie out of Lathe of Heaven. I will have to look for that. Read the book twice.

Your right there are so many but I would throw in

Dune - Sci Fi Channels mini series
Contact
The Dark Knight
Andromeda Strain
and Two Schwarzenegger Classics:
Predator
Total Recall
(you could actually make an argument for T2)

I wish that Hollywood would some day do a movie on the John Carter of Mars books

I was just thinking about Dark Knight - it makes perfect sense.

I would sooner put T2 than Predator, though I think I forgot both :P I never read the John Carter books.

OH and of course Predator 2 was excellent.

:D

crockett · 05-17-2009, 12:52 AM

probably the orginal 3 Star Wars movies, because I grew up with them and it was before all the computer animation special effects that we have today. That means they actually built models of everything.
