Top 10 Sci-Fi Movies?

[rockabilly]

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

One of my favoirite "CULT" movies of all time. I was saving it for a future thread which no doubt will now be made.

I have alot of favorite "B" movies as well. "B" implying bad script, bad directing, bad acting, bad camerawork, etc., etc. Of course they have to be so bad...that they end up being hilarious! In the old days "B" stood for the second film on a double bill.


Hey Violet..."give me the formula"

How about Cherry 2000 w/ Melanie Griffith.

I loved that film, Rockabilly! Not only Melanie Griffith, but also Ben Johnson...a great "character" actor who appeared in a slew of movies (mainly westerns) from the late 40's to late 90's. It also starred a great "B Movie" actor, Tim Thomerson, who starred in the "Trancers" films. He played "Jack Deth".

The "Trancers" films (there were five in total) were low budget "Blade Runner/Terminator" style movies. Great fun to watch! I must check to see if they have been released on DVD! I would buy them all (box set hopefully) if they are out on disc. If not...look for used VHS tapes!

Time to start a "Cult" movie thread! Also a "B" movie thread would be fun!

Ariess I'm glad i'm not the only one who remembers Chery 2000. What about " The Hidden " that's a classic. I loved Trancers. And Night of the Creeps was great.

There were/are a plethora of movies that ended up...S.T.V. (straight to video). They may have played in theatres in NYC or L.A. for a few days, but on video was where they made their money.

I loved "Night of the Creeps", rockabilly...great fun! Been awhile since seeing "The Hidden" (Kyle McClaughlin, right?) and I forget the storyline.

Okay, now I have to get back to uploading some photos of "T-Girls" Some nice stuff I think!

There are some great animated sci-fi movies including "Wall-E". "Heavy Metal", "Steamboy", "The Iron Giant", "The Ghost in the Shell", "Titan A.E" etc....
"Heavy Metal" rocks! flying through space in a vintage Corvette convertable while the stereos blasting...too cool! :D
I loved "Iron Giant" too, vintage retro sci-fi.

(What formula?)

Aaah, Cult Movies, thats a great idea. Everybody here loves movies, and thats a sure-fire hit! (go for it Aries, I'm starting my list...! :D)
B-movies are great. Lots of laughs. Ed Wood's "Plan 9 From Outer Space" comes to mind, when the special effects are so laughable it becomes art!

I also need to add yet another film already mentioned: "Planet of the Apes" (original of course!) It sure is sci-fi, and is actually a really great movie. One of the best all-time last-minute plot twists.

No, it's not Grecian Formula, Formula 1 or Formula 409!

It's from "Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai", of course. Buckaroo has a "formula" written in ink on his palm (no paper handy). A few hours later Professor Hikito and Buckaroo are discussing the "alien problem" and just as Buckaroo is getting ready to leave, the professor says "Give me the formula". Buckaroo wets his palm with his tongue and smacks it on the professor's forehead.

The Hiddens plot ... Evil alien slug crawls inside a persons body and steals cars , robs banks and loves rocking out to heavy metal. Good energy alien life form tracks down evil slug and tries to kill it. Its been years since i've seen it so thats what i remember the most. And " Heavy Metal " was awesome!! They really need to make a new one. And i also forgot about Starship Troopers!!!

I think I've seen that movie, The Hidden. I loved Starship Troopers. The second and third ones wern't quite as good, but they were still okay.
