Your topic is getting great response, Violet Lightning. I was hoping my movie thread would have gotten the same type of responses. Oh well! It's not too late...here is the thread....

In a previous post...
Bionca 1) Aliens - first sci-fi with a main character who was a woman.

Bianca....
Did you mean Alien (singular)? You can safely say that Ripley was the main character in the first film too.

You got me to thinking about "main female characters" in sci-fi movies....before Alien (1979)

Jane Fonda in "Barbarella" (1968)
Zsa Zsa Gabor in "Queen of Outer Space" (1958)
Brigitte Helm in "Metropolis" (1926)

I have to make some late additions....
I loved "Dune" and "Childen of Dune" (sci-fi channel remakes). I thought they were excellent. They were an extended mini-series, so not exactly a movie, not exactly a tv series.

Also. instead of creating another thread, I think I'm going to add my favorite "classic" sci-fi movies too. They beg for a separate list...
1. Metropolis
2. From the Earth to the Moon
3. The Day the Earth Stood Still
4. Earth vs the Flying Saucers
5. Forbidden Planet
6. Them!
7. Fantastic Voyage
8. War of the Worlds
9. Destination Moon

SF is far from my favorite movie genre and I can't be sure if I've even seen ten of them. But as THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL is one of my favorite movies of any genre, it would certainly be at the top of my list. Of course I'm referring to the original one, circa 1953, with Michael Renne (I'm not sure of the spelling) and Patricia Neal. Klacto barraba nictu!

I am kicking my butt for leaving off Event Horizon! I mean a ghost ship in space! Great story and effects.

Oh and on a related note , rumors have been circulating about a new Doctor Who film. BBC has confirmed a script is being written. But who will be the Doctor? Will they show Gallifreys destruction and the 8th Doctor regenerate into the 9th? Or will it be the story of the 10th Doctor and River Songs adventures. Maybe our friends across the pond can keep us in the loop. Thank you

Aries666 posts reminded me about "Buckaroo Banzai"!! How could I have forgotten that one? Not the best by any means, but certainly an old favorite!:D

Hi Rockabilly,
(for when you get back)
I liked Starship Troopers ok. I loved the special effects, especially the space-battle scenes, and the scenes where the bugs are launching plasma goo blobs into space! But I didn't like the casting, and the storyline was pretty slack. But it was great on the big screen, especially the massive insect attacks!!
Also, since you put "Dune " in your top picks, which one? I liked the original, but thought the mini-series was way better.

[rockabilly]

I saw the original Dune as a kid so thats my fave, But i will say the mini series was fantastic.

Sorry guys i find DUNE both the movie and novels to be sooooo boring and there was no way i was going to watch the mini, Now STARSHIP TROOPERS wasn't a bad movie i liked it but it's not on my top 10 but the novel was a lot better talking about the original novel not the movie adaption novel Jennifer
