Sci-Fi Movie of the Millenium

[James]

There are so many great sci-fi movies out there...

Here's my favourites (in no particular order)

Metropolis
Aliens
Predator
Moon
The Matrix
Empire Strikes Back
Bladerunner
Terminator
Akira
Battle Angel Alita
Dune
Forbidden Planet
Pitch Black
Mad Max 2 - The Road Warrior (one of the few films where the sequel is better)

I know it's 'High Noon' in space but...

Outland

[Phillip]

nice mix

Anybody seen OUTLAND? It's from the 80s if memory serves and stars Sean Connery, which makes it worth seeing automatically (ZARDOZ notwithstanding). I haven't seen it in years, but I remember it as being pretty good. Please don't make fun of me if it turns out that it really sucked and I just didn't realize it at the time.

Oops...I wrote my post before I read your list, James. Anybody ELSE seen OUTLAND? ;)

As I noted ^above^ it's 'High Noon' ins space. I just bought the DVD a few weeks ago. I think it's a fantastic film.

[George]

quite aside from Connery, the doc, Francis Sternhagen gives a very nice performance, the elderly Georgia mom on The Closer and other movies as well. always liked it.

I remember OUTLAND in that I remember seeing it, and I remember some aspects of the story, but it doesn't stand out in my memory or anything.

Good timing! I reviewed it at Amazon less than three weeks ago after my 50th, or thereabouts, viewing.

Here's what I remember of the movie; there's is this exodus starship travelling to the next earth like planet and everyone does shift rotation every two years and spends trhe rest of the time in hypersleep bunkers. So the time is ripe for people to...umm kill every one else and there is Noah's Ark and mutation runs terror around the nuclear reactor ala crazy mountain men style and ...they arrived but didn't know it!!!

Not so bad, not really really good, worth a watch!
