Titan AE was a good movie. Mixed with 2D and 3D graphics. Was a nice mix to watch.

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

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

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.

Phase IV was one of the most atmospheric films I ever saw. Never met anyone else who had seen it.

Would add :
The Andromeda strain
Ghost in the Shell

and there are some brilliant 1950's black and white films made when "alien invasion" was a metaphor for the US percieved threat of commuinism...but the names escape me at the moment.

Escape from NY is good!

:2 cents:

Good thread!
:thumbsup

Except they fucked up the ending.

Should've stuck to the ending in the book.

I was going to say that :thumbsup

MediaGuy 05-17-2009 11:33 PM

Yeah, Andromeda Strain...

Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers

Fantastic Voyage

Brainstorm

The Abyss

Demon Seed

Tron

Saturn 3

The Forbin Project ("Were you born with a wristwatch?")

So many. I think just the fact they were sci-fi made them rise above the rest.... whether or not they were actually good movies.

But most of them were!

:D
