event horizon, great film, also anything with big robots smashing each other up….

+ 1 for Silent Running

robocop! I’d buy that for a dollar!

not exactly ground breaking Sci-fi (another western in space) but I do like it.

terrified me as a child….off sschool with chicken pox………truely truely terrifing to a 7 year old!

Series not a film. BBC2 at 6pm when I was growing up.

Invaders!!!

Love the 60s version of the time machine, also forbidden planet. Oooh & the invaders – given away by the inability to use their little finger!

a modern classic –

Nobody’s mentioned this:

Dark Star and Silent Running always used to be shown on BBC2 years ago .

CLASSIC <—-this

Somewhat disappointed in Ming’s choice, surely?

clasic Polish film from the 80’s

Rorschach …saw 65 days of static play live soundtrack to Silent Running at Manchester School of Music last year. Was ridic. great film.

Moon is an absolute belter! Top drawer stuff

Not as good as the short story, mind, but still good.

Can’t believe no one has said this yet.

The Thing From Another World is the true classic, Pigface, though I’ve heard it’s been re-made yet again, so who knows…

ps good shout on silent running

The Last Starfighter.

Dear god, how did I forget Dune, I love that film (though as an avid fan of the book, it makes complete sense to me) .. Star Wars was too obvious and as for the rest, there too new.. 😀

Dear god, how did I forget Dune

I came to this thread for this very reason, simply an amazing film, even now.

For he is the Quizark’s Hadorak!

THX 1138. pre star wars Lucas. Low budget, so all the sets were plain white. Apparently the title was the reg of his first car.
I do like a dystopian near future….
