Good Sci-Fi movies?

[bestboy8]

Does anyone have any really good sci fi movies about space or disasters? If so please right here

 

[Blackguard_]

"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.

 

[PureLove]

Silent Running
slow, intellegent film
2001, although I find it overrated
Outland
Alien
Solaris(The original) excellent movie

God bless u, love hugs

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.

DUNE! Besides Star Wars and Star Trek, Dune is the best sci-fi movie set in space that I can think of...

Yeah and I agree about Contact

 

[GuitarHero2]

-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)

^^^^
Serenity is the sequel to Firefly.

On that topic, I think the movie is kinda lame. Just watch "Firefly".

My bad I meant to say sequel. The movies doesn't compare to the series but I still thought it was pretty cool.

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.

Alien.

Andromeda Strain.

 

[crawfish]

For an 11-year-old?

The Black Hole
Deep Impact
Galaxy Quest
2001
2010
Forbidden Planet
Close Encounters of the Third Kind

...along with Star Wars/ Star Trek movies, of course.

 

[Conspiracy Theory]

It Came From Outer Space

 

[FlyingOnAngelWings]

Apparently Sunshine is also supposed to be good

 

[Conspiracy Theory]

If you like cheese, watch the Tremors series.

 

[MarkEvan]

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.

You guys do note that the OP is 11, don't you?

Another entry in the "pure cheese but great" category:

Flash Gordon (1980 version).

 

[MarkEvan]

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.
