favorite sci fi movies

Oh, I was just adding up my last few years of directed reading. Started young myself with all those classics they sell, then got a taste of the Mars books by Burroughs, then was hooked. Dont know how much I read while living on my sailboat, and in college got into the classics again. Did anyone read Hemingways posthumously published works? they were good but I wonder if he actually wrote them. I thought I had read all of P.Dicks stuff but that maze of death doesn't sound familiar. Lots of movies I notice come from sci fi books (and I've heard a lot of the writers are pissed that they didn't get credit.) Some of Greg Bear's stuff reads like Kings, I think.
By the way, that outer limits Sandkings wasn't too bad. Of course not as good as the book.

 

Yes occam remembers the sandkings flic...Nice 'i am god' fiction.

Have only ready a few of hemingway. 'For whom the Bell tolls' being fav.

Maze of death, penultimate truth...dick wrote some wired stories.

Must say.. bitchy envious of you living on boat.
Envy is supposed to be bad..
But give it few years and occam can have nice rig..
Get outside national borders.

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Hemingways short stories are the best, there is a book of them, very good as far as he goes.

If you are an avid reader living on a sailboat is good. It's a cozy little environment, especially if you anchor out. In a marina you might as well be in a trailer park.

 

Out about the movie with George Clooney...I thought it was pretty good....Was it Solaris? Good stuff.

The Abyss (underwater exploration one)
Contact
2001 Space Odyssey


Also Ghost in the Shell is good even though it was anime!

 

The Abyss is a fucking classic, i freaking love JC.

 

Really is the abyss that good? I'll have to check it out. There are so many of those underwater peril movies , I probably saw something else. Thanks for the heads up.

 

I just love james cameron...

Anything he does, no matter how weak the writing is, he just has this unique vision and pays so much attention to all the little details that you cant take your eyes off whatever he makes.

 

Yeh the abyss is great cause Mrs Brickman says...
"do you understand,,roger ramjet"

event horizon,alien and aliens,2001:a space odyssey

 

Well, I just got a bunch of the old Babylon5 episodes (not exactly movies I know) but they are just such good sci fi: it's all so well done, I was the happiest I've been in a while watching them. Wish we'd get some more of that quality. I noticed they used Harlan Ellison as the conceptual consultant, wonder how much that affected the outcome? Good stuff!

 

oh and those robocops are kinda neat too, saw them all on sat tv, the detroit setting feels very believable, I was tempted to buy up in that area because the housing is so cheap and robocop and the crow gave me a bit of an insight as to what it's probably like there.

 

one of my favorite was minority report..excellent movie. The plot is intelligent and entertaining and very realistic glimpse of what our future may look like, as technology becomes more advanced and intrusive.

Total Recall
Robocop

Them!
Star Trek movies 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8
I, Robot (more action adventure than SF and barely resembled the book but it was cool)
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th Dimension
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (original movie)
The Blob (original movie)

Gattaca, with Uma Thurman, Ethan Hawke and Jude Law. Great movie, I'm not sure what it is, it's like Sci-Fi-Drama. Best movie I've ever seen.

 

The Reanimator!!!! Scanners!!!

 

Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon, and 12 men walked upon its surface. They remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. In the Shadow of the Moon brings together for the first, and very possibly the last, time surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission which flew to the Moon, and allows them to tell their story in their own words.
RELEASE DATE; Nov. 2, 2007 at all UK cinema
