Dr. Love Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I can't believe the lack of love for Contact. Probably the best true sci fi movie to come out in a long time. I also like some of the more recent "original" movies, ones that are different than the norm. Matrix, Independence Day, and most especially Stargate fall into that category for me. Others have mentioned Aliens, Predator, and the like, and I like those, too. If one can consider superhero movies to be sci fi, I really, really enjoyed the X-Men movies. Very well made, didn't rely on special effects to carry the story. Oh, and props to whoever brought up Enemy Mine. When I saw this topic, the first thing I thought of was, "Man, I vaguely remember a movie about a dude and an alien trapped on an asteroid or something and they talked about the alien's holy book."

Independence Day 943013[/snapback] C'mon, you deep six any cred with mention of that flick. I won't rip anyone for enjoying the cinematic equivalent of junk food, but as far as being "original," ID comes up way short of being anything but LCD cliche-ridden bombast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 David Lynch's Eraserhead 943210[/snapback] Ah, first mention of Eraserhead. Perhaps not a sci-fi movie so much as a horror movie. Whichever, it's totally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavez Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Slight aside - my wife was watching the craptastical I, Robot (which disgusts me on several levels, but I won't go into that now) and I started grumbling. She gets on me that "you haven't even watched it"; I told her I don't need to take a bite of the sh*t sandwich to know it tastes bad. So I then asked her "Well, is it grrrrrreat?"; she promptly told me to f-off. Never defended the merits of the film, though, so I assume I was correct.

Savage Beatings Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 5) Starship Troopers (wife hates this movie... I loved it)4) Dune (the David Lynch 1984 version... The SciFi Channel showed a directors cut of this movie years ago, but I haven't seen it since... wish I could find it somewhere) 3) Return of the Jedi (pretending the Ewoks just don't even exist) 2) The Fifth Element (Milla Jovovich... chub!) 1) The Matrix (pretending the Sequels just don't even exist) 937133[/snapback] Looks like I'm finally in luck. I've been waiting for a DVD of this cut for a long time! Releases this coming Tuesday!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
