In Reply to: My Top Ten Sci Fi Movies posted by rico on October 2, 2006 at 08:52:55:
Some of my personal favorites, in no particular order:2001: A Space Odyssey
Solaris (Tarkovsky)
Blade Runner
Dark City
La Jetee (I know it's really a short, but I'm stlll putting it in)
Metropolis (still looks amazing)
Forbidden Planet
The Day The Earth Stood Still
The Andromeda Strain
Alien
The Hidden (Every time I take an aspirin I think of this film , lol)
Quatermass & The Pit ("What color is the sky?"...."brrrowwwwnnnnn!"),
I can't decide if the immortal Repo Man is really sci-fi or it's just out there. I LOVE Brazil but again, I don't think I would classify it as sci-fi...maybe as dystopian fantasy or...social commentary...a great film no matter what. But then how does one classify Delicatessen and City of Lost Children? Also fantasy? (Probably) What about Aronofsky's Pi??? Or Winterbottom's Code 46? (I know a lot of people hate Code 46 but I like it. So there.)
Favorite Guilty Pleasure: first 2/3rds of Dune (really)Another guilty pleasure...A Boy & His Dog
Honorable Mentions:
Them, The Abyss, AI (7/8 of it anyway), Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Soylent Green, Things To Come, 12 Monkeys, Tremors, The Thing (both versions)
Last and least...Star Wars Episodes 4-5 (the Ewoks & Episodes 1-3 have tarnished the franchise way too much for me),
Follow Ups:
adapted from the Harlan Ellison story. Saw it when it first came out...seems
strange now recalling seeing a 17 year old Don Johnson in the film after 'Miami Vice' and 'Nash'. ~AH
"The day the Earth caught fire " and " Village of the damned "Should not be missing on your list.
...had Leo McKern, no? Thanks for reminding me. I must check it out again one of these days - as I recall, the dialogue was rather snappy for its era.Although the science of the movie's premise is a little creaky, what with global warming etc. in our shaky present the movie seems more relevant than ever.
Children of the Damned is truly creepy but for some reason it's not one of my favorites (it's a fave list, not a best of list). Still, I agree CoD is an iconic and influential film.
Curiously, TDECF, was a very influencable film in my life, I never forgot it, until I bought it on DVD twoyears ago.
The Same with that G. Sanders film, or almost.
