It should be noted that the rape scenes in Strange Days can be rough for some people to watch. The same topic is somewhat addressed in Johnny Mnemonic, albeit Strange Days is the better movie overall.

I thought Altered States was a pretty bad movie that was just trying to make psychedelic drugs seem cool.

Robot Jox was a pretty bad robot gladiator movie, and there are any number of Japanese films which are much better even though they had a lower budget and you have to read subtitles.

I don't go to movies anymore and have no television so I haven't seen the rest. I do buy DVD videos and have a tiny portable player though.

Watch with a friend or two

So you can watch it again.

How many friends to I need to watch with so that it will make sense?

LOVE ‘Primer.’

I’ve seen it three times and I have seen three different endings, LOL!

Ping to 27. Exactly. I still love it, though.

‘Kronos’ from 1957 is one of the most underrated SF films released.

I was expecting to see “Forbidden Planet” and maybe “Them”. I did NOT care for “The Incredible Shrinking Man” and “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” could have been better.

All four of those movies are considered classics and come from the 1950s which I think is the golden age of science fiction movies. I liked all four of them.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers may well have been better in its original version before the studio interefered.  They insisted on removing the dark humor, and also had the opening and ending sequences with Whit Bissell and Richard Deacon inserted to ensure a relatively "happy ending".

No War Of The Worlds?I think the early 50’s version was good.

Scared the crap out of me as a kid. Would not look at my windows at night fearing one of those colored light things would be out there.
