Cube (1997)
The Cell (2000)
Contact (1997)

Star Wars
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
2001: A Space Odyssey

Alien
Aliens

Gattaca, The Thirteenth Floor & Serenity are some of the most underrated Sci-fi films I've watched! :thumbsup

Altered States (Ayahuasca baby)
Soylent Green
Resident Evil
Omega Man
Tron
Andromeda Strain
Blade Runner (Fucking Epic)
LifeForce (loves me some Mathilda May perfect titties and hairy pussy since 1985.)
Pitch Black
They Live
Lawnmower Man
Terminator
The Matrix
Aliens
Predator
The Thing (Kurt Russel not James Arness)
Scanners

I guess that's enough. :pimp

Im a fan of sci-fi's too, lots of fun when they are good.

Did you miss these ones:

Prometheus
Pandorum
V (old original) New one does not deserve to be mentioned.

I remember back around 1993-94-95, I was home alone and watched a sci-fi mini-serie during a weekend on a friday and saturday. If I can remember correctly it was 2 parts not 3, but not entirely sure.

1 hour 30 min x 2 or 3

It was so exciting, I hate not to be able to find that feeling again or the name of the show. Been looking alot in the past on internet but not able to recognise anything - plots, stills or from youtube.

Most of the movie was spent on a spaceship, they had all sort of problems. Think a robot was part of the team, a sexy girl, some guys.

That's all I can remember, only small small fragments.

The Man Who Fell To Earth

Great film with David Bowie, Candy Clark. Rip Torn, and Buck Henry!
How can you go wrong with a cast like that.

Good picks.

Grew up watching this shit ...

I believe the film soundtrack was far more popular abroad...

Saw Videodrome on a list. Rightious flick!!!

Alien and aliens likely my two favorite.. However I like a wide range of sci fi films.

I haven't seen Prometheus, but eventually I'll check it out.

Here are a few others I liked:

Deja Vu (Denzel Washington)
A Sound of Thunder
Pink Floyd: The Wall
1984
Logan's Run
The Island
AI
The Matrix
Farenheit 451
Contact (Jodie Foster)

Mission To Mars (2000) bombed at the box office but I thought it was great!

Gary Sinise, Tim Robbins & Don Cheadle, what a cast!

No one has mentioned Stargate (1994)

I loved Children of Men but appeared to be pretty much the only one amongst people that I know.

Bladerunner! One of the best movies ever!

Lexx?

Lexx was amazing, especially episode 3 "Eating Pattern" with Rutger Hauer.

Lexx was pretty good (in a so bad it is good way) for a Red Dwarf remake.

Did anyone say Robinson Crusoe on Mars yet? It's the kind of B movie that holds your attention the whole time. Check it out.

:(

I loved it too! It was awesome, great plot, cast and beautifully shot.

Perhaps the plot was too depressing for people to handle, I thought Michael Caine was truly exceptional in Children Of Men and just look at the list of films he's be in since!

Still going strong at 80 years young :pimp

Definitely check out Alfonso Cuarón's new film Gravity it's getting even better reviews than Children Of Men

That film is the only reason I don't write off Clive Owen. They filmed part of the bombed out building scenes on the high street in the town next to where I lived at the time. It nearly made it look better..lol.

I actually got mad at it nearly being ignored at the Oscars.

What was sci-fi about "Taken"?

The weird universe where people think it was all that good?

As for how good a movie it was...I'd wager this would be an estrogen vs. testosterone debate. :)

Gravity
Forbidden Planet
Primer
Contact
War of the Worlds (original but remake is good too)
Back to the Future 1, 2, 3
Somewhere in Time (romantic mush but still good)
Logans Run
4D Man



THE ISLAND <<<<<< YES! Fucking love that movie. I've seen it 10 times easily.


But "A Sound of Thunder"? Really? I thought that movie was terrible especially thanks to the most sloppy visual effects I've ever seen in any modern movie. (Pay attention the lead characters when they are walking in the futurist city in the beginning of the movie. Doesn't it look just a little... off?)

Moon

There are a lot of great ones so far so I'll add a few more that I didn't notice:

2010
A Scanner Darkly
Iron Sky
Oblivion
Pi
Primer
Sphere
The Adjustment Bureau
Unbreakable
The Prophecy
World War Z

You're thinking of the 2008 action flick with Liam Neeson, I posted the link to the 2002 Sci-Fi mini series starring Dakota Fanning

It's excellent!

Very cool :thumbsup I agree Clive Owen is not a great actor, he's had a couple of good roles and everything else has been pretty lame.

Europa Report (2013) is really good if you like realistic Sci-fi

I'm really looking forward to Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014)

I'm sure it'll be exceptional as always!

Cube

Great movie, got overlooked as it came out around same time as Matrix

Equilibrium

Not scrolled back but sure this has not been mentioned :)

Maybe it is because Red Dwarf did not air in germany, but i never had heard of that show until Dollar Pounds became reality a few weeks ago.

The Man From Earth http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756683

It is a cult classic in the UK and Lexx follows the same format of a ship lost in space/time with those on board consisting of a former maintenance man, a dead guy, a half human/half animal, a robot and a talking ship computer.

My favorites are

Starship Tropper
Alien
Total Recall (new version)
Dredd (new version)
Fifth Element

Phantasm

What a fun movie. "This episode was poorly written!" :1orglaugh

I would also add Screamers to the list - pretty much anything based on the writings of Phillip K. Dick actually, but I think most of them have already been mentioned.

One of my favorite genres

The Day the Earth Stood Still
The Fifth Element
Blade Runner
Inception
The Matrix
The Avengers
Time After Time
Total Recall
Gattaca
The Adjustment Bureau

(and star trek & star wars)

Moon, Oblivion, Shutters island, The Island, Prestige, Illusionist

I watched the remake of Total Recall the other day. Not bad!

Doomsday

A futuristic action thriller where a team of people work to prevent a disaster threatening the future of the human race.

The horrific "shakey camera" in Colverfield ruined it for me.

Why they felt the need to make it quite so extreme baffles me. Gives me a migraine.

One of my favorite sci fi is blade runner.

Galaxy Quest is one of the last films to have its lines enter the everyday vernacular of my friends. Even this weekend, when I was having to repeat whatever the Google Maps GPS voice said, I commented that I felt like when Sigourney Weaver's character complains that her only job is to repeat what the computer says.
