Andromeda Strain (1971)

[Carbonsteel]

I loved #3 as a kid.

Someone on the net figured out that there are 360 camera cuts (edits) as in 360 degrees as in a circle in ‘2001.’

Another quirk, joke, or statement from Kubrick who was fond of such things.

[Kenny Bania]

Dune?

[alloysteel]

Why is Gattaca not on the list? Both obscure plot and never was much seen.

[NativeSon]

Forbidden Planet- one of my favorites, still remember most of the dialog.

[LegendHasIt]

Watched 1 & 3 Liked 2001, Buckaroo was kinda fun.

Saw a few minutes of 9, 4 and 2 on TV, They didn’t capture my interest. Maybe they were too complex for my simple mind.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Time travel movies are inherently complex because they must to some degree deal with the impossibility of what’s known as the grandfather paradox. How is it possible to change the past in a way which completely contradicts the future? Some sci fi attempts to solve it by eliminating free choice, or by creating alternate universes. None really have, however, since I believe time travel into the past is inherently impossible. Time has no direction, just a magnitude. You can slow it down using relativistic time dilation, but not reverse it.

[PA Engineer]

Moon should be on the list.

[mewzilla]

Buckaroo Banzai is a hoot, too! And I actually like John Carter . Go figure :-)

[yarddog]

I liked “Dune”.

Have not read the book(s) but have noticed that the ones who do not like it are the ones who have.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

The only ones I haven’t seen are Predestination, The Fountain, Coherence, and Upstream Color. And I’ve heard of all but Upstream Color.

[relictele]

The Man Who Fell...wasn’t that complex although it reeks of 70s decadence.

It’s a bizarre film to be sure, with Bowie scaring the hell out of Candy Clark with his ET eyes followed immediately by the two of them having gooey alien sex

[PapaBear3625]

And I did see Space Odysee. Boring guy movie.

2001 was one of those movies which only made sense if you either had read the book, or had smoked a lot of weed.

[neverevergiveup]

I really like good sci fi, and I've heard of 6 of these, and saw 5.

[Popman]

I’m still traumatised by seeing #8 “The Fountain” rben after ten years.

The most bizarre convoluted mind numbing piece of garbage movie I have ever seen...

Every person left the movie mad...

[mewzilla]

Andromeda Strain (1971)

That one is excellent! Also Colossus, The Forbin Project.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Game Alive: A LitRPG Adventure Novel Kindle Edition [$0,00]

[wally_bert]

Journey To The Far Side Of The Sun?

[tcrlaf]

yes, that’s it.
