Not as many naked women, though. Well...there you go.

The Andromeda Strain Thank you. Another glaring omission from those supposedly "great" films. Not to mention "Silent Running".

Aw shucks, they voted out
Zardoz - Sean Connery and giant flying stone heads - how can you go wrong?
I really like Gattaca.

I really like Gattaca.
I meant to mention this, along with Contact, as two really good SF films that shocked me by coming out within a year of each other.

I must say that "Starship Troopers" kicks maximum ass in the giant bug flick genre. Crap, and a rape of a great book.

In fact, given his body of work, I would vote for Ridley Scott as top Sci-Fi director of all time and will automatically buy a ticket to any film he puts out. George Pal. Or Kubrick.

I'm with you on that one AP. I've worn out at least three copies reading them.

Has no one yet mentioned Fritz Lang's classic
Metropolis?
To: Lurking Libertarian
Has no one yet mentioned Fritz Lang's classic Metropolis? I'd agree, but only the recently restored version. The butchered copies that we've all seen for years are just a mess.

Gattaca was a good movie. I also liked "Dark City" which came out at about the same time.

You got it!
Wouldn't it be great to do a remake, but with Leslie Nielson doing his "Naked Gun" shtick?

The Andromeda StrainGreat movie. Better than Blade Runner by far IMHO.
To: dennisw
Blade Runner would probably get my vote, but I'll put in a good word for Until the End of the World, The Empire Strikes Back and Silent Running.
To: Physicist
Along with yours and the Andromeda Strain, I also have two thumbs up for 2001, Johnny Mnemonic, The Matrix, Stange Days, Panic in the Year Zero, the Alien Saga, Outland, and The Forbidden Planet. (Just to name a few off the top of my head I like) :-)

Nobody has mentioned "A Clockwork Orange"?!
Let's go droogs!
And a hearty second for "Dark Star":
Let there be light!
And a third for Brazil:
Flyin' high!
And a fourth for Twelve Monkeys:
I'm cuckoo for Coco-Puffs!
And a fifth for the absurd "The Fifth Element":
Ready for Prime Time!

I'd still have to give the nod to BEACH BABES FROM BEYOND, Or possibly PLAY-MATE OF THE APES.
Or mebbe even LORD OF THE G-STRINGS.
