Top 10 SF movie favourites

nexus9

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?

  • ...... Has anyone seen the new Romulus?

    Someone uploaded it onto You Tube, and I wasn't about to quibble over what it was doing there. 

    So it's about a group of young, alienated and exploited workers on an outpost that may have been near Saturn? - who decide to raid an old ship for hylersleep pods zo get them to a planet that is free of all influence by The Company. The one that is more about living the alien than having the back of its employees.

    You can guess the rest. The satellite they get to is infested Ruth face huggers. And more visceral nasties come into being, as face huggers hunt the kids down.

    There's the cute subplotbof Rain and her malfunctioning Android buddy. 

    The effects were good, but the constant manic action bored me, have to say, a d I found myself switching off. Nothing compares to the original masterpiece..

    Views?

    I saw it on IMAX and it was great, unnecessarily loud but all cinema screenings seem very loud.

    Hmmm. I don't remember feeling Alien was too loud. I think the loudness of some movies is like spicing up some dishes with ketchup, because otherwise there isn't quite enough.
