I agree. I liked that movie, but it got bad reviews. Same with Last Action Hero.

Colossus was a great movie! I Don’t know that it counts as underrated though.

There is was a rather thick hardcover sci-fi book I remember reading in the early 80s or so. Tons of nice illustrations and drawings.

It was a story or anything, more like an encyclopedia of various races, technologies, and wars.

Without deep regression hypnosis, I can’t remember the title. I looked at it often in the little public library back then.

About the only bit from the few hundred pages was “split beam violators”. Google wasn’t a lot of help when I bothered to check.

It wasn’t very important anyway.

Loved the weirdness of the cinema and storyline! Have been looking for it ever since, to show-up on TV. Fascinating!

Also, The Last Starfighter was a bit corny, but enjoyable!!

Another interesting movie is “Garm Wars: The Last Druid”

Fantastic cinematography like Avatar, great weapons, machines, babes, etc.

Avatar is incredible in 3D. Own it on Blu-ray 3D with a 65” 3D TV and 3D Blu-ray player.

Of course. It would be the gentlemanly and honorable thing to do.

Frankly I love the Sci-Fi movies from the 1950’s. Many were very imaginative, of course there were some Cheesy ones,like “Plan 9 From Outer Space”, comes to mind by the unreal Ed Wood. But most were pretty good and fun.

I had to look it up. Apparently, he wanted to the movie because he wanted to do something not Bond.

And that a sure was it.

Okay, for me, it’s a bit eye candy ;-) The 70’s We were all wannabe Bond girls back then)

That actually is a very good movie and got a undeserved bad rap. “Stargate” is another really well made film.

The Charlie Sheen version of “Arrival” is very good.

Gregory Peck or Cary Grant as a Submarine Skipper is a winner from the start...
Clark Gable also wasn’t too bad (Run Silent! Run Deep!)

How about “The Satan Bug”, that was kind of Sci-Fi.

Gregory Peck, Cary Grant, Clark Gable, and toss in Jimmy Stewart and Bogart. Sigh!! Before my time, but I can still enjoy them.
