"12 Monkeys"; a movie about time travel and a disaster.
(Do your parents let you watch R movies?)


"A Trip to the Moon" -The French win the Space Race 60 years before it started.

Weird. I'm writing an essay on Trip to the Moon as we speak.

Anyway, I second the nomination of 12 Monkeys.

And if you want things that are rated PG: Well, there's Armageddon, Contact, The Andromeda Strain...

If you don't mind some older stuff, The Day the Earth Stood Still and When Worlds Collide are a couple favorites of mine. 2001 is awesome, but I'm not sure I would have appreciated it at your age.

-Star Wars movies(mainly the original triology, but just watch em all)
-Riddick movies(Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick)
-Serenity(prequel to Firefly series)
-Aliens
-A.E.
-The Matrix movies
-Stargate
-The Terminator movies
-12 Monkeys

..you are probably to young to watch half of these but start making a mental list for the future.

EDIT: I'd also defintely suggest Jurassic Park(the original)

Also, I would strongly urge you to read Dune before watching an adaptation. None of the film versions compare.

Another family-friendly one I thought of: The Little Prince. Yeah, it's a kid's story in some ways, but it's a classic one. And it's always fun to go back as you get older and look at things from a new perspective.

Forbidden planet is a classic if a little out dated by the todays FX, but I grew up with it so I would say it is a fantastic movie.

As others have said.........watch Firefly a series but a very good one, I would also then watch serenity not because its as good as the series but because it wrapes things up.

11 eh well stuff like Aliens is not a possibility for a while then, flash gordon is great, really cheesy as crawfish said, but great non the less.

Stargate isn`t bad.
War of the worlds, the original is good.
Bladerunner, allthough having said that you probably arn`t old enough for that yet, one for later then.
Close encounters is good, allthough it lacks the destruction and war stuff.


And if you don`t mind Anime then I would also recomend;

Nausicaa of the valley of the wind and Laputa castle in the sky, not everyones cup of tea but I like them.

I thoroughly recommend Nausicaa of the valley of the wind, even if you don't particularly care for anime. The vision and story are very top-notch.

And the manga version of it is even deeper and for more in depth.
