What are your three favorite science fiction movies?
You’re all going to laugh, but I actually really liked the first Total Recall.
I would agree that the gal seemed more mobile than I would think, but that isn’t something that sticks in my craw or anything.
But yeah I really liked the captain too, I liked the main girl quite a bit as well. It took a while for her character to develop, but it did. I also liked David tremendously.
When I first saw it in the theater, I liked it alot but I too thought it could have been better. But When I watched it on PPV four times, honestly, I loved it. I couldn’t have watched it four times if it bored or underwhelmed me.
“Laumer’s Retief”
Greatest Sci-Fi ever... would LOVE a series based on that.
Don’t forget Slippery Jim DeGriz also.
Movies.
Star Wars V “Empire” indeed.
First Men in the Moon with “Cavorite”!
Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai!
Wish they would make a sequel. I totally agree on this one.
I put Men In Black in the same category as Back to the Future...comedies or satires with a science fiction setting. Enjoyable, but not serious SF.
I saw it at the theater in my hometown in SoCal (in Texas now...got here as soon as I could). My sister worked at the boxoffice so I got in to all the movies for free...How great is that for a kid!!??
I am just a few years older than you. I had the same reaction - it scared the crap outta me.
Not precisely Sci-fi, but I love the Tremors movies.
Also liked Dune a lot.
Ahh ... "Dark Star" ... best Sci Fi film almost nobody ever heard of.
"Yes, sir, it's true: The man has no d!(#."
No mention of “Robinson Crusoe on Mars” anywhere.
Akira Kurosawa’s “Colors”.
1. TRON, the original.
2. Starship Troopers, the original.
3. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, just for the effects and not a bad storyline.
4. I, Robot.
5. Star Wars. For 1977 it did well. Corny at times, but it had a lot into that movie.
Mars Attacks!
(I mean who didn’t stand up and cheer when the Martians blew up Congress)
Logan’s Run
Planet of the Apes (the original 1968 version)
2001: A Space Odyssey
Moon is a great movie. And it was very un-hollywood, which I liked. I also enjoyed it even more the second time around, since it was a little confusing the first time. :)
And 1984 will forever be a legendary movie (and book)... one of the all time greats. My only beef is that the torture scenes make it inappropriate for delicate constitutions, and for that reason I wish it had not gone quite so far in that regard. It’s a movie that needs to be seen by everyone again and again. But I’m sometimes hesitant to show it to some because I’ve seen people become shaken and turned off by the graphic torture.
Have to add ‘Robinson Crusoe on Mars’
I was big of Dino to do all the real work and then give all the credit to his daughter.
