believe it or not the original uncut one.

teflonian · 04-22-2003, 04:14 PM

The Matrix... I will be watching Dune sometime this week as I borrowed it from my brother. Hopefully it lives up to my expectations after reading the books and hearing good things about the movie.

diergray · 04-22-2003, 04:42 PM

Battle Star Galatica
The Cube
Equilibrium

Hitchcock · 04-22-2003, 04:57 PM

Planet of the Apes (the original 1968 version!)

also...
This Island Earth
Logan's Run

There are many others, but these are the ones that came to mind off the top of my head.

KillerYoda · 04-22-2003, 04:59 PM

Empire Strikes Back.

My name does have "Yoda" in it, and all.

LordEden · 04-22-2003, 05:47 PM

The Matrix - I loved it.

pickledaddy · 04-22-2003, 06:11 PM

Matrix, All 5 Planet of the Apes (not the new one, ugh), Star Wars

vermin · 04-22-2003, 06:35 PM

My favorites:
Aliens (the one with the space marines)
The 5th Element
Pitch Black

warrrreagl · 04-29-2003, 12:54 PM

Clockwork Orange

If that doesn't count, then Blade Runner.

Gortexfogg · 04-29-2003, 02:34 PM

Alien
Aliens
Blade Runner
Westworld
The Matrix
ST: Wrath of Kahn

Does 'Sleeper' count? If so, that too

fuelmyfire · 04-29-2003, 03:11 PM

"2001", also my favourite movie of all time.

That movie does something to me that i have never been able to explain to anyone.

Mr.Deflok · 04-29-2003, 04:13 PM

Blade Runner
Star Wars (Any)
Alien 1 + 3
Terminator 1 + 2
X-Men
Predator 1
Minority Report
Artificial Intelligence (hides behind TFP's flame-resistant wall)

Also, Dark City, wouldn't that be Noir Fantasy? If not then I'll add it to my list too. "Sleep... now."

Serpent · 04-29-2003, 04:28 PM

evolution.

Scorpio · 04-29-2003, 05:54 PM

Really? I'm surprised about this one... then again, I've only seen it in context of Mystery Science Theater 3000 the movie, so I guess that doesn't really count.

I'd have to say

the Matrix
Minority Report
the original 3 Starwars movies
Dune (both versions had their good points and bad points)
Independence Day (they blow up the white house)

boatin · 04-29-2003, 09:31 PM

not a big fan of science fiction movies - i've read too much good science fiction. I can't stand explosions in space that make noise. It's the geek in me...

Probably Gattica. They made an effort to make the science feel real, good cast, good dialogue and looked great. Love a mystery/chase film!

rockogre · 05-01-2003, 08:38 AM

Blade Runner
Alien
The Fifth Element
Star Wars
2001 A Space Odessey
The Matrix
Terminator
Predator
Artifical Intelligence

nine · 05-01-2003, 12:54 PM

Silent Running

Plummie · 05-01-2003, 11:03 PM

Vanilla Sky
Gattica

Both amazing.

robbo59au · 05-01-2003, 11:29 PM

No contest..... 2001:A Space Odyssey.

fuelmyfire, I understand what you mean........ damn film changed my life, literally

Loki · 05-02-2003, 04:13 AM

The beginning sections of Dark City were excellent... but i felt it kinda lost its pace at the end. still, probably one of the best (and definitly one of the most original) sci-fi movies.

The Matrix was pure brilliance. Almost single handedly, it revolutionalised an industry.

Terminator - probably amongst the best movies of all time imo.

AGREED; I rather surprised to see this excellent film mentioned; it is good SciFi, and an interesting, unusual story.

Logan's Run
Blade Runner
Clockwork Orange
The Matrix
X2
Dune

Mandalor · 05-04-2003, 08:56 AM

you know, I started out thinking that, of course, the caveat "after Star Wars" was understood without saying it in the original subject....but then I really couldn't think of any other sci-fi movies that really moved me. So, I'm gonna have to just stick with the original trilogy, since they are in fact my favorite movies of all time...

oldbob · 05-04-2003, 09:14 AM

Starship Troopers
Blade Runner
Dark City (although if Dark City's permissible then also Strange Days)
Gattica
David Lynch's Dune
and just for my nick's sake,
The Black Hole (secretly thought it was horrible)

WhoaitsZ · 05-05-2003, 02:39 PM

not big on sci fi, but

terminator 2
aliens
matrix
x-men
sw empire strikes back

fave sci fi ever is anime: ghost in the shell

i got b o r e d with blade runner and 2001

rockogre · 05-06-2003, 10:08 AM

Throw me in for "The Crow". I'm not sure why but I love that flick.

And Zardoz!

Strelich · 05-12-2003, 10:47 PM

Blade Runner, and I'll also throw in Strange Days and Dark City.

reverendjay · 05-13-2003, 09:46 PM

I'm going to throw Lifeforce out there, as well as a movie called Saturn 3.

And most important of all... Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

If we're talking tv though... I'd say 'V' and Red Dwarf take the cake.

The Cotb · 05-14-2003, 06:19 PM

Blade Runner
The Matrix

...and the childhood memories vote: Tron !

Bonesaw · 05-16-2003, 08:36 PM
