    Whats your favorite sci fi movie of all time?

    Any other geeks here? lol
    Whats your favorite sci fi movie?

    Remember "The Forbidden Planet"? where an ancient race of aliens purged all their negative emotions with this giant computer and now its raging wild against the last human caretaker of the city?

    Did you see the movie "Serenity"? I thought it was a fun entertaining movie version of a cool series. Not my all time favorite though.

    How about War of the worlds? The original that is.

    Or the classic Star Wars first movie?

    What else?

          Difficult to narrow it down to just one.

          Among my faves are 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien & Aliens, Predator, The Thing (Carpenter's remake), The Abyss (although the ending sucked)...and the first two Terminators.

              Blade Runner

              Alien

                                The supposed mass panic during the original H.G. Wells radio broadcast of War of the Worlds was largely exaggerated and mostly an urban myth. There was no mass exodus of people, rioting or pandemonium as the story goes.

                                    Plan 9 from outer space (classic and must be on list)
                                    Planet of the Apes
                                    Alien (first one)

                                            Not a movie but I'm really enjoying the new Battlestar Gallactica series.

                                            Spannow : The day the earth stood still is a definate classic! MOre of a pollitical movie than just a sci fi movie.

                                            I think Deep Space 9 was the best written TV Star Trek series mostly because it was episodic. The story was continued from one show to the next.

                                            There hasnt been any great new Sci Fi movies in some years now.

                                              Forgot about Dark City.
                                              So what did you dissagree with, I am curious.

                                                ALIEN was the first serious big budget, scifi horror / thriller where the creature wasn't some clumsy guy in a rubber suit with no expression. This monster was frightening because it was presented seriously. It had a life-cycle, it was fast and killed indescriminently - as it would in nature. Audiences had never been "hunted" like that in space before - ergo it was a huge success and became the yardstick by which all others were measured - and still are. As much for set design and technique as Blade Runner and Star Wars, it set the standard for scifi horror...

                                                    I also must toss in Gattica. I had spaced this movie though it does paint a very possible and brutal picture of the future.

                                                      Oh yeah, one of the absolute best and underrated flicks ever made - awesome!

                                                        Oh trust me I know.. I was a kid like 10 and I bugged my parents into letting me watch Alien.. LoL I couldn't sleep with out being scared to death for months..

                                                        Best thing about the movie Alien is it still fits in this day and age as a top movie. Meaning it could still hold it's own today. I wish they would re-release it to the theaters in it's orginal format.

                                                        Aliens was also a damn good movie, but after that, they kinda killed the series with the other releases IMO.
                                                        In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                          The Thing - I AGREE

                                                          Event horizon - I DISAGREE - Paul Anderson has yet to make a great film start to finish and although this one started strong, like so many of his previous films, it fizzled out half-way through and ended in a heaping mess.

                                                          Blade Runner - I AGREE

                                                          Plan 9 from outer space - C'mon man you serious? - I DISAGREE

                                                          Planet of the Apes - I DISAGREE - It never lived up to its potential based on the rich ape environment and culture fleshed out in the book. It was made too early, before it could've been done justice via our CGI today - even Tim Burton blew it. This needs Peter Jackson attention!

                                                          Alien - I AGREE

                                                          Robocop - I AGREE

                                                          Star wars - I AGREE

                                                          Soylent Green - I DISAGREE - Like Logun's Run (which is currently slated to enter preproduction) it was made too early to do it justice beyond bad 70s designs and cheesiness.

                                                          Akira - I AGREE (but animation is in its own genre)

                                                          A clockwork - I AGREE

                                                          The day the earth stood still - I AGREE

                                                          The Road warrior - I DISAGREE - Although I will agree that this film set the standard for envisioning post-apocolyptic chaos I don't feel it was one of the greatest scifi films ever made.
