What's yer favorite sci fi movie? |
|
I don't really have a horse in this race. While I enjoy sci fi in theory, in practice it never comes out as good as it should. As I asked for "favorite" rather than "best," I'm free to go with "They Live."
And you?

It's Gattaca, but I can almost guarantee that on Sept 30th it will change to the movie Serenity. I just LOVED Firefly the tv series.

"Blade Runner" is a masterpiece. Ridley Scott is a genius. :toast:

By a long shot.
Second might be "CE3K", and "Fifth Element" would be up there somewhere.

Good call...
I've seen it at least twenty-five times...including about a dozen times when it first came out, in Cinerama....

15. There's an urban legend |
|
that at one of the first public showings, when the starchild appeared at the end, someone ran up and threw himself through the screen of the theatre....
I can still remember people gasping in the theatre at the scene where Keir Dullea climbs "down" the ladder and walks around the insideof the spaceship to join Gary Lockwood, 180 degrees away...

though only for the extreme high-camp.
If I'm being more serious - then I'd go with The Forbidden Planet, or possibly The Day the Earth Stood Still.

22. the man who fell to earth |
|
I haven't seen it in ages, but I really liked it at the time.
Of course, "They live" is great (in a b movie style)
but I think, I'd have to go with 2001as my favorite, just for kubrick's ability to make it all so real(istic).
