Huaco Kid Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Fifth Element? Too many. I like them all. I saw Poltergeist last night. (Bad is always good.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted October 19, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted October 19, 2021 This is as much horror movie as sci-fi, but it is an alien they are fighting, so... Damn good movie, however you classify it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'll never forget when I first saw this scene, the scanner sound closing in, and him facing the alien in the tunnel. Still gets me. Best Sci-Fi in my book, with nothing being remotely close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21 shooter Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Hard to pick a favorite but I liked the original Star Wars. Saw it at a drive-in theater, tinny sounding speakers and all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 DUNE. Not the ones they've made so far, but the version I wish they'd make. Forbidden Planet, Incredible Shrinking Man... 12 Monkeys was so close, not just for the delectable Dr. Railly, but also for the concept. I like time travel stories. Mars Needs Women, 20,000,000 Miles to Earth, Zardoz... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a top pick. 2001 A Space Odyssey should go in that category as well. The second one The Year We Made Contact, IMHO was a train wreck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much to cover in the 2 hrs and 17 minutes... If you like Time Travel books Gwalchmai, Pick up "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Un Believer". Just the First Triology. Truly amazing series. Now THAT is a triology That would make an AMAZING movie!!! anybody Read it? "Saltheart Foam Follower"...one hell of a dude... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd would love to see a sequel to SpaceBalls before Mel Brooks departs us. SpaceBalls, The Search For More Money.

He was perfect in Plains, Trains and Automobiles. As for Close Encounters....i saw that so many times growing up. I should see it again. There were amazing movies being made back then. Close Encounters, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Star Wars. So many great movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
