Sci-Fi Fans

[KenobiKid]

With all the talk in the other Sci-Fi thread, the subject has gone completely off tangent so I thought I'd start a new thread. This tread is for Sci-Fi fans to talk and discuss their favorite Sci-Fi movies. So I'll start with some of my favorites, in no real order.

Star Wars:Empire Strikes Back
Star Wars:A New Hope
Alien 1 through 3
2001:ASO
Cube
Planet of the Apes, the original, not the downsized Marky Mark one.
Stalker
The Day the Earth Stood Still
The Matrix Trilogy
Gattaca

My favorites include just about all Star Trek movies. I also loved both MIB movies.

 

[KenobiKid]

Yes, I forgot about Star Trek. I have to say thought my favorites are the first 3. The Wrath of Khan is easily my favorite though. I can't say I enjoyed the last one though, if that didn't end the series I pray they get some new writers on the team.

 

[crossrunner]

My favorite will always be the 4th one (you know...the whales). I also loved the Wrath of Khan. I kinda liked the last one. I was suprised by the ending.

 

[KenobiKid]

What I thought was neat is when I saw X-Men 2 and it had the complete Khan ending down to Jean Grey saying Professor Xs opening voice over. If you know the comics you know what's going to happen in 3 and can see the Khan in there.

All the above were great! I enjoyed 5th element as a fun romp. Let's see, Space Hunter was a great comedic sci-fi too. I prefer the funny ones to the scary, but will always hold Alien and Aliens near and dear. Oh, the Thing (I think) where they're at some icy outpost and an alien invades? That was good too. Creepy.

Oh wow. This is my kinda thread.

For starters, I am the biggest Star Wars fan ever. Movies, books, collecting, online communities, fan fiction, just about everything except role playing, I've done. If there are any other obsessors out there, I'll see you at Celebration III!

Marvel. This stuff is almost as awesome as Star Wars. X-Men, Spider-Man, Hulk, Daredevil, all those other guys who haven't had movies rock. Comic books and movies.

I haven't seen all the Star Trek movies, but I watch the show on the SciFi channel all the time. And while we're on the subject of the SciFi channel, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis (TV shows, I know.. this is a movie forum) rock faces off!

More good movies...

Planet of the Apes the older version. the new one was so boringly pathetic I just turned it off.
Sphere best sci-fi horror cross over film ever! Too cool.
Frequency I was a Jimmy fan before the Passion of the Christ.
Back To The Future all three of them are great.
The Time Machine 2002 remake. I've never seen the original, but I liked this one so much I watched it twice in the one sitting.

I know this is the box office forum, but I just need to slip this in...

books...

Firebird by Kathy Tyers This first book was awesome. Its an IF and analogizes the jews anticipation of the Messiah. I haven't read the other two volumes yet because they're checked out at my library, but I really want to read them!

Quest For Tomorrow series by can't remember his name. The guy who does a lot of Star Trek books... ?


Okay, I'll shut up now. But yeah, SciFi rocks.

 

[KenobiKid]

So you're coming to C3? I live in Indy so I was blessed last time and this upcoming time that I don't have to travel for it. Where are you from?

 

[Sleepy Jean]

NE Ohio.

 

[Glaz]

Everything you guys said plus Spaceballs. I love that movie

 

[InnerPhyre]

First Contact, baby.

 

[KenobiKid]

What about Contact with Jodie Foster? Great movie and it deals with faith on multiple levels.

 

[oldrooster]

All the Trek movies, Starship Troopers and Star Wars 4-6
