best scifi movie? add yours!
hey people, add yours best scifi movie, but only one title per person, please :winkwink: lest start it with last cult scifi i saw,
running man ... who can add something next? :thumbsup |
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.

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 |
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.

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. |
Starship Troopers and Dark City were my teenage favourites
now i guess resident evil |
Solaris - Both versions are good
The Fountain |
Total recawl !
|
Space Odyssey, and one of my favorites that is seriously underrated imho is Event Horizon, with Laurence Fishburne. I love that movie!

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 ;)

Alien2 is by far the top one in my book

Not my favorite but I haven't seen it listed. Serenity was a cool little sci-fi movie.
|
All time fave - Terminator
Special mention - Star Wars, Return of the Jedi, Demolition Man, Logan's Run, Starship Troopers, Johnny Mnemonic, Robocop |
Bicentennial Man.
|

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

BRAZIL! :thumbsup:thumbsup

The original "The Day The Earth Stood Still":thumbsup
|
The Fifth Element
|
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) |
Soylent Green

:) 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! |

Were these just off the top of your head .. ?? I have seen everyone of them . I love sci-fi .. but could never pull a classic list like this out .. I would love to see everyone of these again .. |
"Contact" was pretty good with Jodie Foster
|
If I had to pick one it would have to be Aliens....or Empire Strikes Back....or Road Warrior. lol
