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 ..
