You guys should check out the movie Sunshine. It's gotten mixed reviews but I think it's one of the best sci-fi movies I have ever seen.

[Kim]

lol Spider, Aeon Flux?

And the worst movie ever to feature a hot chick goes to.......

[Galleleo]

True, Sunshine is great.

Also I never knew Serenity had such a great following, I like it, but not like: wow that is a fantastic awesome kick ass movie!

[flibb]

Terminator 2 - one of my favorites

Sunshine - they did a good job in trying to make the technology/space travel realistic

Episode III - my favorite of the series

Serenity - much more enjoyable if you watch the tv series first to get to know the characters

The Thing - great sci-fi horror, weak ending though because of budget overruns


I hope the upcoming Robotech movie will be good!:P

[Singularity]

My picks would be:

- The Matrix, the sequels were just too overdone with the whole zion shite and the dragonball z action.
- Star Wars (indeed, mostly empire strikes back)
- Star Trek (most of the movies are worth watching in my opinion)
- X-men
- Blade Runner

Some other movies I liked were Alien and Alien: resurrection, starship trooper, fifth element, battlefield earth was pretty fun to watch, predator, terminator 1&2, contact and frequency.

Edit: Noone has said Close Encounters of the Third Kind, of which I am very grateful... what a piece of shit that movie was.

[Pressure Drop]

don't think i'm going to add anything new here and i'm not good at top 5's as i'm indecisive and one day my list would change to the next.


2001: A space Odyssey
Blade Runner
Alien
Terminator 2
The Matrix

also worth of a mention that i haven't seen here so far ?
Event horizon
ET
Close encounters of the third kind
invasion of the body snatchers

Mr.T goes into space : fools he dont even like planes watch him freak out a whole new level in space

[Zerzera]

Oh and what about Zone 39!!!!! :wub:


and do 'wasteland' films in general fall under sci-fi? ... like Mad Max :P

[Pressure Drop]

logans run

stfu i liked it

[CrvenBan]

Firefly owned, too bad they destroyed the show...


personal favorites:
The american astronaut
Cypher
Primer
Dark city
Pi


Gattaca is very good, as is Seconds (1966) although I would have loved to see more "freaky" scenes in that one.

Night watch/Day watch movies are good, the thrid one looks like is being made with helpful yank-hands, which means is gonna suck hard.
Plenty more kickass movies

[Zeebu]

kinda liked seeing primer on there

the cube movies were really weird to watching the first time through

i enjoyed the serenity movie too. i also enjoyed the shows. i did not like the fact that they made a steve-the-pirate-kabob.

empire strikes back was the best starwars movie. wrath of kahn or voyage home were the best star trek movies.

lol, spaceballs

i got a bunch but im busy =(

[CrvenBan]

the cube movies were really weird to watching the first time through

the director of the original Cube also directed Cypher which is a very stylish sci-fi thriller. He also directed a movie called Nothing which is a kinda wierd sci-fi comedy about two guys who end up in the, well, nothing...

[Ronn]

Predator
Terminator 2
The Thing
5th Element
Aliens
Equilibrium
Serenity
They Live
Waterworld
Stargate

Probably more that I cant remember.

Orrrr


1) Solar Force
2) Time Cop
3) Soldier
4) Battlefield Earth
5) Wild Wild West

Oh crap I forgot about Space Jam.... it has 'space' in it so it counts right?




LOL seriously:
-Brazil
-Jurassic Park (how can this NOT be considered sci-fi, can we actually make dinosaurs? no)
-Return of the Jedi (I know ESB is a better movie, but this has been a favorite of mine since I was 3)
-Aliens
-Spaceballs

[DoTheFandango]

These aren't really Sci-Fi...

Brazil could perhaps get away with it, but not really... I wouldn't say Clockwork Orange is Sci-Fi, I guess dystopian, but Dr. Strangelove? There's not even a slightest hint of Sci-Fi.

Myself?

Star Wars Original Trilogy... I know it's cliché, but I'm going here by how much I've enjoyed it and the fact these films are some of a few that I can watch over and over. I should really include them here.

for someone arguing the definition of SciFi, you obviously don't know what SciFi is. Star Wars is NOT science-fiction, it is a Space Drama. It's an Epic. It's not Science-Fiction. The "Force" is not scientific, it's super-natural. That, sir, is fantasy. The fact that it has space and PEWPEW lasers doesn't make it SciFi, as SciFi deals with real-world political problems with advances in science and other aspects of the world making the story more complex.
