The Best SciFi Movies?

[MNDude]

What are your three favorite science fiction movies?

[Zeneta]

You are so very right.

I think it was Jules Verne that read dozens of publications every day.

This is and was an exercise in extrapolating possibilities.

I’ve held for some time now, that if it “can” happen, it will.

Young Frankenstine! (Pronounced “Fronk-en-stene”

[null and void]

Name him, ping him...

[DigitalVideoDude]

Yes. I’ve read Ringworld, and unfortunately, no movies yet. Not that a flick could do justice.

[Dstorm]

First saw Fantastic Voyage, in 1966 at San Ramon Auto Movie

[Fledermaus]

Dune: great book, lousy movie. Maybe someone should take Dune and make it a trilogy.

[basalt]

The Thing..1951

Them!......1954

Day the Earth stood still..1951

[Fledermaus]

Yes, Galaxy Quest is a gem. Very clever.

[Fledermaus]

First movie, but Chapter IV. lol

[Fledermaus]

Hauer ruled that movie.

>> I have no idea why people list bladerunner. Saw original, in 82 snoozer, then the directors cut came out, went to hollywood to watch that, because certainly it had to be better.... Ummmmm Nope. The only thing I can think of is that there is another movie out there called bladerunner that is this classic tale.... I just keep seeing the bad one. <<

Ditto. To this day I don't know why people claim this is a "sci-fi classic". It seemed like an incoherent mess with Harrison Ford to me. They claimed the "Director's Cut" was better because it removed the "unnecessary voiceover", but that made the movie even MORE incoherent. I've tried to watch it twice now and found the movie boring and annoying.

Another recent addition to my "why the hell did this get such rave reviews" in 2006's "Children of Men". For a sci-fi story, I give it a 2/10. Interesting premise, horribly executed.

That movie was an indictment of the Reagan years.

[Secret Agent Man]

Alien.

Sunshine.

Moon.

[jmacusa]

‘’Them’’. 1954.. Any Fifties sci-fi with giant bugs in it is always a favorite with me.

[Secret Agent Man]

i was looking forward to it but unfortunately i don’t think he did as well as he should have. disappointing given the caliber of Scott and how well he did Alien. for example after the gal had the gut surgery, there’s no way she could have been able to move so well and so fast with a few grimaces thrown in here and there, anesthetics or not. muscles do not just work 100% normal when lasered in half and your skin is stapled back together.

all this did was set up another prequel sequel. no big questions answered or even attempted to be answered. and the whole movie spent an awful long time targeting the one crewperson who had a small amount of faith into giving it up - visually, and verbally.

[Secret Agent Man]

and as i said he isn’t going to do remakes. he’s doing prequels to fill in the story of where the aliens came from and the mystery of the pilot alien from the first movie of the storyline, that he directed. he’s doing backstory. and he’s left himself room to do another sequel prequel.

[Secret Agent Man]

brazil is futuristic dystopian.

[Secret Agent Man]

best thng about that movie was its title song, “Hooray for Santa Claus”. actually it was a quite good little song.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Kronos

[Secret Agent Man]

only the first 8 minutes of Pitch Black.
