vampires

there are many, many vampire interpretations and movies and tv series. some are funny like love at first bite and some horrible, like the rick springfield tv show from the late '80s. here are the awesome ones:


• bram stoker's DRACULA (the godfather of vampire movies. francis ford coppola)


• BLADE (the first one. no one has ever been as bad-ass about killing the undead as wesley snipes)


• john carpenter's VAMPIRES

cool sci-fi

• star wars (episode 4), empire (episode 5), jedi (episode 6)

• the matrix

• iROBOT (isaac asminov short story from the '60's. very cool.)


• alien

• aliens

• the terminator (great story. orignally a french sci-fi movie)

• T2 (great effects, but first one had a better story) (definitely NOT T3!)

• predator

• the thing (john carpenter's awesome remake)

• blade runner



• the fifth element ("mul-tee-pass. lelu dallas multipass.")

• dream catcher (it's a mystical sci-fi with a touch of 'stand by me')



• contact

• the abyss

• mission to mars

• 2010 (2 of 3 in the arthur c clarke 2001 space odessy series. the third one, 2061 was never turned into a movie)



• star trek: TNG (the next generation) all, but the last movies were great
tv series: episodes: "transfigurations," "tin man," "yesterday's enterprise" "generations" (final episode), anything with Q or the borg or time travel, others..

• star trek 4 (original cast)

• star trek 2 (original cast. typical star trek. the essence of trek)

• galaxy quest (funny star trek parody)



• a sound of thunder (a ray bradbury short story that influenced every time travel movie in the last 40 years)

• a sound of thunder (a ray bradbury short story that influenced every time travel movie in the last 40 years). ***oh wait..you already have that one. i'm the future me trying to remind the current me of cool sci-fi movies. the fate of the world depends on it..***



• alien visitor (australian. good message)

• powder

• phenomenon



'50's:

• forbidden planet (original inspiration for 'sphere')

• the day the earth stood still




• repo man (more cult movie classic than sci-fi, but has sci-fi elements. lots of punk music and attitude and emilio estevez)

• stargate

• mars attacks! (a little off like tim burten. a war of the worlds parody. the aliens were killed the same way they were in 'attack of the killer tomatoes')
i wouldn't recommend steven spielberg's war of the worlds, the '50's version was better, and actually, i liked the original radio broadcast even better.


yes, there's more to come ..
