Harmonia's Favorite Sci-fi Films.....

24.208.213.190

Can't pick just one...and since I haven't participated in any other sci-fi lists, doesn't that mean I get to mention more???


In no particular order:

Brazil
Dark City
Blade Runner (Director's Cut)
Metropolis
Forbidden Planet
The Day the Earth Stood Still
2001, A Space Odyssey
A Boy and His Dog
Altered States
Solaris (Tarkovsky)
Pi
City of Lost Children
Quatermas & The Pit
La Jetee
Farneheit 451
THX 1138
Star Wars Episode IV
Abre Los Ojos
Clockwork Orange
Back To The Future (Is this really scifi???)
Dune (Yes, I know, I know, flaws 'n all...Harmonia gets ready to duck)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (both versions)
Silent Running
Starman

You will observe Mr. Spielberg's efforts are noticably absent from the above list. I enjoy approximately 7/8 of Close Encounters, and bits of A.I, bits and pieces of Minority Report. I find the endings of all the above curiously unsatisfying...cloying even. (Moreover, I must be the only person in America who doesn't thrill to ET. While Spielberg is undeniably talented, I just cannot find it in me to love much of his oevre.

Call me strange, but I'd rather watch The Hidden, or It Came From Outer Space, than ET. I'd rather watch Dune than Minority Report.

So it goes.
