Oh yehh the Krell were cool...

My favorite sci-fi movies are all the Godzilla films, except for that American piece of garbage with Matthew Broderick. I liked them as a kid and I continue to like them to this day. Yes, they are some of the stupidist and poorest films made, but I still like them and apparently so does many others. Godzilla has become a mega star, making one movie every year from 1985-2000+, and many movies before that. I have lost count just how many Godzilla movies there are now. I guess I am a kid who never grew up. :<))

 

2001 (odd but great if you've read the book) and 2010 (much more accessible and to me, a more moving story)
Fifth Element (perfect casting across the board... Chris Tucker is hysterical!)
Something Wicked This Way Comes (okay, it's largely fantasy, but it's Bradbury)
Blade Runner (odd and disturbing, but powerful)
Young Frankenstein (the funniest sci-fi flick ever made)
the original Star Wars (great as movies, not so great as sci-fi)
Earth Girls are Easy (a very funny sci-fi send-up)
Star Trek IV (of course it would be the one Nimoy directed)
the MIB movies (who cares if they're not great sci-fi... they're fun!)
Some others come close, but those are my top.

 

2001, Stargate, Fifth Element, Star Wars, the matrix, there are others i just cant think of them

 

Logan's Run
Forbidden Planet
Blueberry
Fifth Element
Avalon
War of the Worlds (original)
Blade Runner
Cherry 2000
The Thing (original & remake)
Space Hunter
Dr Who (both Peter Cushing films)
Planet of the Apes
Running Man
Highlander
Predator
Flash Gordon
Explorers
Day the Earth Stood Still
Krull

 

all the starwars

 

Johnny Mnemonic
Matrix
(the new stuff is better I think)
Then all the classic stuff like above,
maybe add Strange Days since I just got finished watching it, 'was all right.
Does Matrix Revisited count, because that was pretty good too.

 

you must love keanue reeves.

im sorry.

read neuromancer, or the book johnny mnemonic.

 

BLADE RUNNER by far......

 

oh yeah blade runner's cool.

No, I don't love keanu reeves jedi but he's been in some good sci fi movies.

I've read all of William Gibson's stuff except that thing he wrote with Bruce Sterling. I own sci fi!

 

I've seen so many times BLADE RUNNER on 2CI!.

 

When you've read 5000 sf works you 'start to own'

You've a way to go yet laddie
Occam owns sf...LOL
Because he is older...39 years of reading
Read 'war of the worlds' aged 8 in 1967
and never stopped

Hmm, don't know the total but in the past 3 yrs I've read around 300 sci fi books. First I started with the short story compilations and the critical guides etc; then having a good idea of who I liked read the novels. Used to randomly read but just whatever. Burroughs Mars series started me out back when I was 12, but I didn't really get into genre fiction until recently. I've stuck to the "canon" of sci fi writers. 5000 books? that is a lot! (just got George RR Martins SandKings on tape, it's an Outer Limits episode, that was a cool short story; I hear that Greg Bear made one too but I haven't seen it yet but the short story was pretty good.

Keep it up..read everything.. Occam used to read a book a night
staying up till 3am..sometimes 2
In last 2 weeks have re-read many p k dick
books[man in high castle, vulcans hammer, maze of death]
Also g r dicksons 'tactics of mistake' and rowleys 'war for eternity' and 'the black ship'.
Read Chris rowley.. he's very good.
Should not have to mention PK Dick.. If you want to know where
idea for the matrix came from.. read maze of death.
Greg Bear ... re-read EON a few weeks back , excellent story.

5000 is not a lot when you consider a 100 a year for 40 years is 4000.
As said 39 years of reading...you should add 3/5000 others on top of that
easy.
a thousand of history and philosophy.
All clancy and other techno/contemporary, koontz and king.
MANY crime/conteporary.
Many Holmes/historical
Many clasical like stienbeck and even hemmingway
Poetry by Yeats, Donne

'Generalists' are dying out.
Being replaced by specialists who know a lot about one thing.
ANd very little about anything else.
And nations run by those who have read nothing.
Like Elle mcpherson
Has george bush ever read anything but what he wrote.
Or was told to read as a speach.

Occam has met many who cannot point to Moscow/Bejing/london or NY
on a map.

This is not acceptable
