Ha. I was going to say Gattaca. Also, Event Horizon.

Outland - 1981. Sean Connery Frances Sternhagen - High Noon on one of Jupiter’s moons but better. Great Movie! Sternhagen was outstanding!

Odd list. “Target Earth” and “Project Moonbase” are rather boring. “The Time Travelers” is tolerable, but goofy and ultimately unsatisfying. “The Twonky” is an interesting curiosity, but hardly something I’d call good. Never cared for “Phase IV,” but haven’t seen it in decades.
“I Married a Monster...” is a sharp sci-fi outing, better than the hokey title indicates. “Rocketship X-M” is a good oldie. “Space Children” pretty decent.

“Outland” was indeed a very good film and underrated as well. I agree about Sternhagen’s performance - she was brilliant as was Peter Boyle.

The novelization was good as well much more detail and background.

Our parents took us all to see “Invaders From Mars” at the Bay Theater in downtown Panama City around 1953. I had the same reaction as you. I thought it was the greatest movie ever made.
I saw it again, maybe 30 years later. I was really disappointed. I had built it up too high and remembered some of the scenes a little off. A couple of years later, I saw it again and realized it actually was a pretty good movie. I had just built it up to an impossible level in my mind.

Most underrated: “Just Imagine”
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0021016/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_1
Very enjoyable 1930 Sci-Fi flick
Though, as one reviewer says “Think Fritz Lang’s Metropolis as a musical comedy” it fascinates as an example of (ironically) HOW people of a time imagine a future. Great remedy for “futurists” predictions.
Oh, a young Maureen O’Sullivan too.

Galaxy quest?
Per many of the original Star Trek cast it was a bio-pic. ;-)

Yup, Omega Man was very good, as was it predecessor: The Last Man on Earth (with Vincent Price). Both were adaptations of the Richard Matheson novel “I am Legend”. Price’s movie was the most faithful to the book. The Will Smith adaptation was crap.
— The Magnetic Monster wasn’t bad either.

I've never read the novelization; I'll have to hunt one down. Meanwhile nothing....NOTHING....is as insane as "Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam", aka "Turkish Star Wars". 'Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (The Man Who Saved the World) is a 1982 Turkish adventure film commonly known as Turkish Star Wars because of its notorious use of unauthorized footage from Star Wars worked into the film.' And here it is in all it's epic cheesyness!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKhHPdfmx8k Sadly, I couldn't find a version with English subtitles, but trust me, there's no need for one. It's brain-meltingly insane.
