Your favourite sci-fi movie?

Some of my favourites:

The Blade Runner - stunning cinematography and well paced.

Alien - the tension is built up well. More of a horror flick but certainly does not fail to deliver the eerieness of outer space.

Starship Troopers - ALIEN GO BOOM. YAAY!!!

2001: A Space Odyssey. - probably the greatest use of music in a movie. Masterfully directed by the master of direction, with the most subtle story-telling ever. >.>

Now it's your turn.

yours except for that boring 2001 movieJandurin

Starship Troopers forsho.

Flight of the Navigator

Return of the Jedi

Krull (More fantasy than sci-fi, but still good)

The new Star Trek

Those movies are horrible. The last good sci-fi movie I saw was Transformers 2

Soylaris

Stalker

2001: A Space Odyssey.

My top 3:

2001

Blade Runner

Gattaca

2001: A Space Oddessy

Star Wars: A New Hope

Ghost In The Shell

EDIT:I forgot about Gattaca and Star Trek: First Contact

Star Wars

Gattaca

Akira

Children of Men

Hey Arnold the Movie

Do you people enjoy the films you choose because of the story that's being told, or is it because of the visuals?

Just as a question... If Blade Runner didnt have the effects that it has, or if 2001 didn't have it's music, do you think you would still enjoy the film?

Did you read the book to Blade Runner? The filmmakers kinda of butchered the story that Philip Dick had created. Or at the very least, they took it off on their own rough version.

:) But don't you see the complex symbolism and thematic elements that Michael Bay spread throughout? ;)

2001, any Star Trek or Star Wars movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still (ORIGINAL), Soylent Green, Blade Runner, Planet of the Apes (ORIGINAL), The Matrix, etc.
Those are just off the top of my head. I LOVE sci-fi. :D

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] 2001 is more aout the visuals, Blade Runner is a bit of both, and Gattaca it is the story.Jandurin

True, but they decided to exclude certain elements that I thought were important. Namely, the whole animal/animoid aspect, it's only touched upon a little bit in the movie. But there are some things I think the movie did alot better, and that is the atmosphere, and the ending (big time).

BladeRunner, still looks futuristic even today

[QUOTE="TheGrayEye"]

[QUOTE="super_mario_128"] Story is vital, though it's cliche to say you like something because the story is teh awesome. If you didn't like the story, then you most likely wouldn't like the movie; it's kind of redundant. Also, you chose Transformers 2. >_>super_mario_128

PIC!!! *after throwing up* Of course I'm joking. Transformers 2 is the worst movie I have seen in years. I don't know anyone who can enjoy "Do androids dream of electric sheep" and Transformers at the same time, without losing vital brain cells.

I'm kinda shocked that Fritz Lang's Metropolis hasn't been mentioned, me though I'm not a big fan though I appreciate it, I thought there was huge audience who loved it.Jazz_Fan

You'll probably appreciate the movie's story a whole lot more, I know I did (despite the films differences).

Star Wars, Blade Runner, 2001, are some of my favorites. Ewww...There is a disturbing picture on page 2.

Flight of the Navigator was awesome. :)

Wow... wtf on that pic :?:?:?chessmaster1989

[QUOTE="TheGrayEye"]

[QUOTE="super_mario_128"] I just thought it ironic, since one of its (its only, perhaps >_>) strong points is its visuals.
