Recommend a good sci-fi movie!

I've seen a shit-ton of sci-fi movies in my 25 years of life, but I can't seem to get enough. Please just shout out any good ones you've seen and if I haven't seen them I'll check them out! Anyone can use this thread for the same purpose if they wish.

Dude, watch out for the swear words :P

The Fifth Element, John Carter, Dredd, Prometheus and Doomsday.

That's a swear word? They say it on daytime TV about 3 million times a day.

All good ones! Might have to rewatch Dredd.

The Day the Earth Stood Still.

The original, minus Keanu Reeves.

Fifth Element, Serenity and The Abyss have always been my favorites. Attack the Block, Doomsday, Galaxy Quest, Gattaca, Equillibrium, Dark City, 13th Floor, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I Robot, Lockout and Real Steel all get honorable mentions though.

Indeed.

What is Dark City?

Dark City has Jennifer Connelly, Keifer Sutherland and Rufus Sewell. Kinda a film noir/sci-fi movie that came out around the same time as Matrix and 13th Floor and like them is all about the perception of reality.

I could name some of my favorites but alot of them are the more well known ones so I will just list a few that might be a bit more obscure.

The Thing (John Carpenter's version)

District 9

Just a few I could recommend more films but alot are more popular.

The Thing (James Cameron)

No offence or anything. It's just I've watched some of those on Netflix and they just aren't my cup of tea is all.

The first ones that come to mind anyway.

Haven't read the entire thread, so sorry if all of these have been mentioned already:

Primer

Gattaca

Star Trek II, III, IV, and VI

Twelve Monkeys

Dark City

Looper, if you can ignore some of the plot holes

The first 2 Futurama movies.

Also, not a movie, but The Prisoner is a short enough series.

Been delaying watching Looper due to the rumored plotholes.

• District-9
• The Iron Giant
• Looper
• Men in Black
• Moon
• Titan A.E.
• Tron

I know its been said already but I watched Gattaca about a week ago and its a brilliant film. Strongly recommended.

I've watched a ton of these in the last couple days. Keep em coming folks!

=)

do they have to be movies?

My favourite:

Star wars

Total recall

Logans run

Dr who

and another one I can't remember the name of.

And if you want to think twice about going to bed: invasion of the body snatchers.

Event Horizon is okay.
