Top 10 Sci-Fi Movies?

[ARIES666]

Quote from "Jenae La Torque" (btw, probably the best name/handle on this forum...just rolls off the tongue):

"I'll tell you about my Alien movie experiance. I had just pulled into a little town in Wyoming on a dark and stormy night, and; after checking into a motel, saw a movie theater down the street advertising a movie called ALLIEN. I hadn't anything about the movie prior to this. There were only three of us customers in the whole theater, and when that mean little shit came ripping out, I was feeling very lonely, and vulnerble in that big theatre."

Well, if you thought you were surprised when the alien popped out of John Hurt's chest, what about the other actors and actresses in that scene? The director, Ridley Scott, did not tell them what was going to happen in that scene. So, the reactions of the crew were incredible.

So, this was 1979, Jenae, during it's initial theatrical run? I remember when Alien came out, it seems all anybody could talk about was that scene. When I eventually went to see it the entire film "blew me away"!

Back to the Future is missing so far.

Back To The Future....yeah...I think we discussed it a bit...it is a sci fi-fantasy-action-adventure-comedy. Hard to put in one category. A great trilogy too! Not too often when you get 3 or 4 good movies together. I thought all 3 B.T.T.F. flicks were great. Too bad the third Alien movie was such a clunker or else it would be a great quadrilogy!Oh well. 3 out of 4 aint bad.

Aries, The first time I watched Alien 3, I too was disappointed. However i recently bought the DVD set and rewatched all of them again. #3 was better the second time around. Maybe because I didn't have any positive expectations the second time around. Although it still isn't as exciting as the others in terms of action, there are some interesting social dynamics there. Oh, and the first movie wasn't as good since I already knew what was going to happen; the element of surprise and suspense was gone.

:D Good movies Kitty, but I think most of those are horror, not science
fiction. Matrix definitley qualifies, MIB too, I suppose. "Ghostbusters" seems like humor/light horror.

I liked the original "Tremors" too....
