Gattaca was also a pretty good movie. The director knew exactly what vision he wanted to establish, but the last challenge between the wo brothers was expected and sappy. Empire Strikes Back and First Contact are also pretty fucking good scifi films.
More obscure, but still thought provoking; The Andromeda Strain Seconds The Man in the White Suit THX 1138 (original version)

I stand by some of my choices. there are different definitions of good. MIB 1 was funny as were the termors movies, independance day was good in as much as when i saw it at the pictures everyone stood up and cheered when the aliens got there ass kicked, so it will always be good for that. And i refuse to hear anything said against Stargate, both the film and the series are brilliant. so there Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Oh and i saw I Robot the other day and thought that it was amazing actually quite poignant in places, my partner said she thought it was sad
They are going to make a remake of the 1953 Scifi movie "The War Of The Worlds" with Tom Cruise as the leading man this time. It might be a good one. I thought the original 1953 movie was great! Yob Atta
Wouldn't it be great if they could make a movie as good as the original but with the technology of todays fx masters.
60 of the top scientists voted "Blade Runner" as the "Best" SciFi movie with "2001 A Space Oddessy" coming in a close second. "The War Of The Worlds" was one of their favorites too. Yob Atta
I just saw "Event Horizon"..........It was scary and could be a possibility of what hell waits for some of us........ Yob Atta
Event Horizon is basically Alien crossed with Hellraiser. It was kinda scary, I agree - most of all for the unseen part, what being in a universe of pure evil would actually mean. And what would it have looked like? My only gripe was that eponymous spacecraft should not have been "orbiting" inside Neptune's atmosphere. It would have burned up, or been torn to bits by the hypersonic winds.
Seeing as how no one has been to Hell and back and reported on what it's really like there or documented it in any scientific or religious journals that I know of, then I guess the movie "Event Horizon" could be considered a possible (I emphasize the word "possible") preview of what some or most of us can expect, another dimension of pure evil eternally waiting for us once we cross or pass over the so-called "Event Horizon"............Time will tell!

What about Donnie Darko? It isn't sci/fi in the deepest sense of the category, but it is - at least - a close call ( and a brilliant movie ).
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman(?!) You're taking the mickey, right? And do you mean the remake with Daryl Hannah (one good reason for watching it) or the original, which I've never seen?
Although it is dated, I really enjoyed the campy Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Many stars, fun camp. Nerosurgeon, Astrophysicist, Pop Icon, Test Pilot, what a hero.
Danny Darko was terrible. If that movie could grow up and decide what it wanted to be, I think it'd be ok. But was it about time travel? Evil bunnies? Teenage angst? Plane crashes? A horrible amalgamtion of these elements? Waking Life was far superior.
There are ONLY two candidates: Blade Runner and 2001: A Space Odyssey, and anyone who thinks otherwise a moron. It has to be the latter though, for it's far far reaching in meaning.
Hmmmm, I noticed somebody gave credits to old movies becouse of the lack of fx and couldn't agree more! F. planet would be absolutly great if there wasent Roby and his stupid stupid stupid look and short but stupid sentences!!! My all time favorite is Blade... Runner of course!!! Like the Star Wars too an Star Trek also, but ST is a bit childish with it's caracters... Alien is simply to scary for my taste. The creature itself is designed by a satanist Giger! I saw some of his other works... he is really sick! He did the Species also... not much credit for that... The Dune was not 80's trash since it is not a trash at all, what couldn't be said for new Dune B-production quasi erotic shit on the tv...
If you mean the Sci-Fi Channel's Dune miniseries, I actually preferred it to the movie. Better acting, more detail (given more screen time) for just about everything, and a far more pervasive sense of the social heirarchy and nobility.
