gino_aki Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) The trouble with the Starship Troopers movie is that they tried blending Heinlein's book with Joe Haldeman's "The Forever War." I'll have to re-read " The Forever War" i don't quite see where they are similar. Of course Denise Richards makes starship troopers somewhat watchable. They're NOT similar, that's the problem. Should've done one or the other and stayed true to the separate themes. Edited February 25, 2009 by gino_aki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Plan 9 from Outer Space. This has to take the all time worst movie ever made. Have to start looking at the SciFi listings, bad movies are great, great movies are OK, but rarely a belly laugh and we need more laughter more than we need more cowbell Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cactustactical Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 In no particular order: Them - saw it as a kid, now have the dvd. Scared the hell out of me way back when. Terminator - minimal effects, just an unbeatable emotionless killing machine wreaking havoc. Journey to the Center of the Earth - 50's version, I loved caves as a kid and the movie stuck with me. Matrix - I watched it 3 times in a week to try and get it all. Bladerunner - stuck with me at the time cuz it was what I believed a true look at the future of American cities. I have the 5 version dvd set, still like to watch them all. After looking at what LA has become, still believe it. My list tells me that I need to get back into watching sci fi, a lot of older stuff.

SharonAnne9x23 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 for me, the movies are 1) Forbidden Planet 2) The Day the Earth Stood Still - 1951 3) The War of the Worlds - 1953 4) Omega Man 5) Silent Running Honorable Mention Tremors Soylent Green Logans Run Worst SF movie I ever saw, starred Doug McClure, so that should give you a hint: Humanoids from the Deep. total schlock. Watched it at 3am with an old friend while guzzling beer. When it was over I asked, "Why didn't one of us ask, why are we watching this crap?"

Chris Rhines Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 1.) Blade Runner 2.) Donnie Darko, just edges out 12 Monkees in the category of "Best Delirious Time-Travel Movie." Shame the writer lost his freaking mind for the next movie. 3.) Ghost in the Shell 4.) Dark City. I caught this one in the theater knowing nothing about the plot, and didn't sleep well for several days therafter. 5.) Total Recall. There's one from out in left field, but a fantastic sci-fi epic mystery just the same. - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
