Hey.
What are your favourite SF movies ever?
Here are mine, in no particular order:
Moon. Directed by Duncan Jones, David Bowie's son
Blade Runner. The first one, that is, though I enjoyed the 2049 too.
Brooding, noir. The book if anything is even better.
Logan' Run Yes I know, an oldie. But it sticks in the mind. Time is short.
.........and never more so than with Never Let me Go. An idyllic boarding school is where the spare-part clones grow up
Space Odyssey 2001. Yes I know computers evelved way beyond this stage
The Time Machine. Very innovative shooting for the, erm, time.
Alien. Despite all the prequels and sequels, this is still the absolute best
Quatermass and the Pit. Good and spooky.
Solaris The second one. How not to make first contact.
Ex Machina. Here, the CEO who plays Feletto really an absolute jerk, all said and done.
Agree or not? What are your favourites?
Good user name -a nod to Blade runner?
1 Men in Black
2 Independence Day
3 Back to the future
4 Star Wars (original trilogy)
5 the 5th element
6 12 Monkeys
7 Alien
8 Blade runner
9 Moon
10 The man who fell to Earth
I also love Ghostbusters, although not strictly sci-fi
Loved Moon, nicely referential in places.
Duncan Jones. David Bowie's son, directed it. SF themes are clearly in the blood.
Indeed my moniker is a nod to Blade runner, great minds and all that.
Nice set of flicks. I need to find time to watch all of Twelve Monkeys, wasn't able to see it to the end last time.
The Man who Fell to Earth is an intriguing movie - and story too. Bowie conveyed a very convincing sense of alienation.
