What are some of your favorite Science Fiction movies?

[bluzman61]

My favorites include The Planet of The Apes, The Omega Man, Soylent Green, Alien, Blade Runner, Aliens and Independence Day.

 

[BackAgain]

Although it shows signs of its age, I’ll always be a fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The original Blade Runner was good on several levels.

And flaws and all, there was something compelling about Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

 

[Blaster]

Plan 9 from outer space.

Slightly off topic:

But the series now running on Apple TV called “Pluribus,” is well worth watching as each episode unfolds.

Without revealing much, a radio signal picked up on Earth with some frequency encoded transmits some kind of virus to almost every person on Earth. But no zombie bullshit.

They merely become relatively happy one hive-mind entity (akin to our leftists except the infection in Pluribus makes the hive-minded people happy).

The Thing ('82)

War of the Worlds ('54)

The Andromeda Strain ('71)

I'd like to see The Andromeda Strain remade as 70s movies, on the whole, did not age well though TAS is still very watchable.

My favorites include The Planet of The Apes, The Omega Man, Soylent Green, Alien, Blade Runner, Aliens and Independence Day.

I also like Alien 3. I think it is the most underrated Alien film imo

The Thing was a masterful horror flick with awesome practical effects.

Worst Sci Fi ???
Star Wars sequels ( all 3)

Really? Everyone is always down on the 1st sequel (Phantom Menace) when Anikin is a little kid in that race, but I like that one. Forgetting the Disney sequels, of the original six, I actually like The Jedi Returns the least. The little foam munchkin characters running around at the end (The Ewoks) were too much children's Jim Hanson Muppet for me.

Terminator 3 , 4 , 5, 6

T3 was just barely passable for the hot naked girl terminator, but Arnold was showing his age and too much of the story was a three-peat of T2 so you always knew what was going to happen.
