i dont know if it counts as sci-fi persey, but there was a movie i saw long time ago called closetland. the whole cast was only two people; the guy who played hans gruber in die hard and madelyn stowe. stowe played an author of childrens books and had written one based on her own abusive childhood called closetland. it was about how when she was bad her mother would lock her in a closet and how she made scary looking things her imaginary friends. the hans gruber guy played a government interrogator who tries to get her to admit that the book is really an instructional code book for an underground resistance group by torture and mind tricks.
i saw it on HBO way back in the early 90's and havent been able to find it since.


other than that....the shows 'dead like me' the old old old 'dr.who' and 'V'

I saw that, it was trippy as hell. Very very very wierd. I think it qualifies. Sci-Fi is not limited to aliens and space ships and $hit.

The more I watch it, the more impressed I am with Firefly, the Joss Whedon TV series. It was nearly-flawless, in my book. Of course, it was canceled at the first season.

The movie AI: Artificial Intelligence got into my head and wouldn't give me peace. That film disturbed me, and still does. Something about it triggered something very deep in my subconscious, and I have seldom been so tormented by a movie. Some people didn't like; I found it to be remarkable.

For pure fun, I'll watch anything from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Did you know that it was Stanley Kubrick's last project? He took the journey while working on it and or before it went into productilon. That's why Speilburg did it.

I enjoyed Aliens, matrix, blade runner, & 12 monkeys.
I also enjoyed Brazil (terry gilliham director), the Xmen, & Mad Max (before i found out mel gibson was a nazi).

I do remember the movie, enemy mine and there was a strong message in that movie. It deserves more recognition.

i think matirix is my favorite for the special effects and look.

tv shows: star trek, futurama and the new battlestar galactica is really good.

the worst move: battlefield earth. bleh

Screamer's II "The Hunted" is coming or has come out back in 2009 I believe. Has anyone seen part one? It starred Peter Weller better known for Robocop and lesser known for Leviathan.

I saw the first one and loved it. Great gritty everyone dies sci-fi goodness I'm pretty psyched for the up coming sci-films to come. I especially dug Precinct 9.

But I highly recommend Scremers, just a kick butt dorky sci-fi that's not trying too hard like some out there.

Who saw "Predators"?

The Forbidden Planet:

A campy, fun fifties movie and a ground-breaker in the sci-fi genre. Also, most importantly, the debut of Robbie the Robot!

What I loved about it:

1. Robbie the Robot

2. The Monsters of the ID. That was the most deliciously scary scene in the movie when the Monster tried to get at the Captain and the Doctor and his daughter, and we finally learn WHO is the real "Monster of the ID".

3. The "Electric Tonalities" music.

Screamers II: The Hunting

Don't see this film, especially if you've seen part I.

This film is a piece of garbage! It's sad really that the trailer is the only cool thing about this film; well that's actually saying a lot for friks sake.

But if any of you haven't seen the original SCEAMERS film, it's freakin awesome! Peter Weller, the dude who played ROBOCOP is the main char.

It's a classic Man vs. Machine, in the true Terminator style. Other films like this one include:

Virus: starring Jamie Lee Curtis

Hardware: old skool 80's goodness

Moon Trap: staring that Russian Dude who played Chekov in Star Trek.
