i haven't seen all of them so i don't know how the fuck i'd name the "only valid ones" (????)
in any case, some movies i like and haven't been mentioned yet: mad max (yes it is) max headroom (word association works sometimes) strange days (and why not?) various planets of the apes (NRA edition) fantastic voyage (raquel welch) voyage to the moon (méliés) the one i saw the other day that was so weird what was it called? oh hm ehhh... french/czech... i'm having a bad ADD day... FANTASTIC PLANET real genius (it was funny) (and it was a scifi movie of sorts) is revenge of the nerds a scifi movie? ha ha hmmm wargames (becuz...) terminator (the 1st one is best) (the 2nd is ok. the rest are "not valid") SLEEPER! i'll continue later |

how so? |
others still unmentioned
metropolis (a?) clockwork orange eyes without a face (also horror) the skin i live in (it is, too) until the end of the world eternal sunshine of the bla bla bla the (first) matrix (the others are "not valid") are zombie movies "science fiction"? if so-- night of the living dead, sean of the dead, the fifth element johnny mnemonic which was not as terrible as i expected battlestar galactica if only because it begat the series AI, which wasn't as shit as i thought it would be brazil, in a way wall-e iron man! weird science (ha ha ha) children of men charly farenheit 451 1984 the time machine (1960) (the others are probably "not valid" but it's just a guess) there are so many impossible to remember them all brazil looper etc. |

I'm glad you decided to include this. But why not Terminator 1 or Terminator 2? They were EPIC mind fucks and produced superbly.. |

YES. This is quite literally in my all-time top five, right behind Pulp Fiction and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. on my sci-fi list.. DARK-CITY (fucking seriously underrated flick) The Fifth Element (cliched but its good!) I might be one of the few who really liked Prometheus Predator One (sorry so many Arnold recommendations but really, the guy has been in some great movies) π (pi) Back To the Future (Yes its campy, but it was also a great pop-movie and original concept) Attack of the Killer Klowns From Outerspace (it takes balls to make a movie this bad) Flatliners The Lawnmower Man (its not that great, but it is definitely valid) TANK GIRL A Scanner Darkly (yeah, it was good, I know, even I can't believe it) Inception (yup, I went there) John Carpenter's The Thing |

After something Tesla said in the main film thread. |
Not sure if any of these are 'valid' but some faves of mine:
Dark Star A Boy and His Dog Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior Planet of the Apes (orig.) Zardoz Dune Flash Gordon Forbidden Planet John Carter Star Wars |
Ok, I agree, there are others besides Dune, y'all listed some I'd forgotten about!
|
No love for Dark City??
 |
I cream on the sci-fi movies, and I like funny sci-fi, scary sci-fi, and brainy sci-fi equally.
I have a lot of faves Dune Moon Primer Solaris (OG) Pitch Black Soylent Green Contact Wrath of Khan Event Horizon (more of a horror movie but still...) Akira Blade Runner Frankenstein and Bride of... (OG) The Day The Earth Stood Still (OG) Galaxy Quest Aliens The first Matrix La Jetee' Invasion of the Body Snatchers (OG) They Live The Empire Strikes Back Tron Repo Man Terminator I and II Robocop Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Hardware Predator I and II Total Recall (OG) Ghost In The Shell Gattacca Strange Days 12 Monkeys Escape from NY Independence day (Pure bubblegum , but what fun bullblegum!) Fifth Element (I fucking love this movie. I love when directors overflow with ideas and put everything they can imagine into a movie) Dark City (One of the best of the last 20 years) Pi Iron Giant The Cell (Only J-Lo flick I dig) District 9 A Scanner Darkly Children of Men (one of my faves of the last 20 years as well. Cuaron is a bad-ass and I am looking forward to seeing the new space station freakout film they have been advertising) Paprika V for Vendetta (not quite sci-fi but maybe?) Iron Man Wall E 9 Metropolis Watchmen I have yet to see Elysium (Rudy Rucker says it is a sweet piece of cyberpunk film), Oblivion, or Pacific Rim. |

 Odd to mention "Aliens" and not this. |

that's the good one! also a great horror movie. and thanks to murmer for mentioning zardoz ("the tabernacle!") has any one said "serenity" yet? not the best of all movies but i was glad it brought firefly to closure. and let's see... oh Quote:
post-"apocalypse" scenarios are generally sci-fi-conceived worlds (not really "apocalypse" in that it's not religion). "what happens if" *nukes*. speculative fiction. w/ a scientific motivation. e.g., that movie when america gets nuked, what was it called? the day after or some shit like that. science fiction. anyway. still unmentioned: sins of the fleshapoids!!! (yeah) scanners rabid cosmopolis the brood pi hackers! (so cheesy and terrible w/ their 33kbps modems, yet i've watched it at least 5 times) ... and then crap like universal soldier (ha ha ha-- terrible movie) ("look for something. something hard." <-- so bad it's funny) aeon flux (disappoint! the only excuse to watch was charlize theron) |
Dr. Strangelove
The City of Lost Children |

also one of the greatest comedies ever! (must spread more butter, it seems) |
