Default Re: Your Favorite top 3 Sci-Fi movies

Top three only? Ok, here goes..

1) Star Wars (AKA: A New Hope)
2) Blade Runner (Original with Harrison Ford Naration. Impossible to find since the Director's Cut came out.)
3) The Abyss

But I can't just leave it there, here are some of my other 'Favorite Sci-Fi' films..

Forbiden Planet, War of the Worlds, Silent Running, Robinson Carruso on Mars, Planet of the Apes (original), The Fifth Element, Eneny Mine, Escape from New York, Stargate, Dune (yes, I liked the original movie.), Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, Soldier,.. and all of the other Star Wars movies.

..and this is my 'Short List'

Cheers!

Silent Running was good. A bit preachy, but Sci-Fi that people invest something in tends to get that way.

Definitely the best use of midgets in boxes.

Original Blade Runner is better, but the 'director's cut' is still worthwhile if you haven't seen the original and can't get a hold of it.

[edit: Logan's Run, Dave?]

Well, that's a tough one. Only 3? How about if I list my Favorites during different stages of my life.

Growing up in the 70's, my Favorites would have been what was coming on Saturday matinees or late night tv:

Earth vs The Flying Saucers
Planet of the Apes
The Day the Earth Stood Still

Since then, I'd have to say:

Star Wars (4)
The Terminator
Star Trek II

There are a heck of lot of others that I could include, but with only 3, that has to be it.

Logan's Run! Ha. How could I forget that one, and I have it on VHS too.

Cheers!
