yes Blackcat there are 20.. but ahh well
it really makes you think if only 5...hehe

what we need is koonts's 'lightning' or Vinges 'f'ire appon the deep' as movies.. [example only, there are hundreds]
Lightning would be a good call.. only secondary special effects...
way twisted plot like T.. time always gets an a+ cause critics cant work it out so they shutup..lol
If i had millions.. THAT is what i would do...
Make the best of SF into film.
i can think of no better use for money

epona'bri

wow been a long time since i saw that one...
i thought 2010 better than 2001 but thats just me.
would luv to see rendezvous with rama made to film.. clarke had style

occam

 

I agree, I like 2010 better too...

A lot of people have never seen THX, but I thought it was a masterpiece.

 

Cindi Epona'bri

soz did not realise all one name.

yes im looking for thx1138 on torrent sites like mininova and demoniod.
just picked up 'colossus the Forbin project'.And the 'lathe of god'. damn fine work.

occam

 

No problem..

Forbin Project... that's another good one. I don't think THX has ever come out on video yet... wish it would. I have the Day the Earth Stood Still on DVD. We need more of the old sci fi movies on DVD.

I remember Invasion from Mars when I was a kid... for us kids, it was turned into a neighbor game.

Ah, the good old days.

 

The Matrix
Chronicles of Riddick

those are a couple favorites of mine

 

Mine:

Embryo

Planet of the Apes

Return to the Planet of the Apes

Night of the Comet

The Last Starfighter

but there are soooooo many more!

 

Kempo

Ah yes riddick.. i have the chronicles dvd set.
the riddick universe has some interesting ideas.
its one of those offbeat actor/settings that make a cult.
i think i will play CoR 'escape from butcher bay' again..
apparently teen girls love him in pitch black.. its the animal thing.
[or so caitlyn told me]

Night of the Comet!! I haven't seen that movie in years!!!

 

It's one of the few I like well enough to own.

 

1. 2001
2. Solaris (1974)
3. Stalker
4. Primer
5. A Scanner Darkly

 

As a Kid:

1) Forbidden Planet
2) The Day the Earth Stood Still
3) Earth versus the Flying Saucers
4) The H-Man
5) The Blob

At 15, the blob was the scarriest ever. It had me looking around doors, on ceilings, under couches and beds, behind couches, at the heater vents ... everywhere a blob could hide to try to catch me ... boy was that the scariest ever ...

At 5, Forbidden Planet was my all time favorite, along with a sci-fi
marionette series called Fireball XL-5.

Solaris and 2001: A Space Odyssey are two of my favorites of all time , regardless of genre. However , I haven’t seen the original Solaris. I’ve only seen the George Clooney version . But to me it asked an important question.

When he was on the space station having flashbacks of his deceased wife while sleeping , then was woken up by her , he was shocked and asked her how she got there. Then he went and told the remaining crew members what happened after he jettisoned her into space and then she was back again when he awoke a second time. They told him he needed to “get rid” of her again and that he was being “seduced all over again” and basically stating that he was willingly letting himself succumb to insanity.

And it made me wonder , is there a love so strong that if your lover “died” , you would willingly let yourself lose your “sanity” just to have the illusion that you are again with them?

1. The original Stargate
2. Event Horizon
3. Solaris
4. 12 Monkeys
5. Back To The Future Trilogy

pps Thunderbirds are GO.........

 

Thx-1138 and Bladerunner for me.

 

I played that game, one of the few movie tie in games that didn't suck. A lot of people I know said they didn't like the CoR, but me...I love 'em. I also like Vin Diesel a lot. He's about as versatile as Bruce Willis, which is to say not much. But I just enjoy watching that persona he portrays...plus he makes me envious because of his size.
