Cargo - quality German sci-fi, much better than I'd anticipated

Iron Sky - just for the hell of it

Lockout - Guy Pearce is highly entertaining

Great thread but none of these films are on LoveFilm on the xbox.

Also, Cargo is a great film but I'm pretty sure it's Swiss

Event Horizen

Silent Running

Moon

If you fancy a series then give Fringe a bash which I thought was very good and if nothing else is worth it for Walter seniors moments of comedy genius 😆

Why has no one said star wars yet? To be more specific, a new hope and empire strikes back.

Can't think of anything else to add to this list! Pretty much everything I could think of's on here.
If you don't mind going a little off-piste into more fantasy stuff, then Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies and Wonder Falls are all fantastic fun, just hugely enjoyable series.

Perhaps so, but the version I saw had English subtitles translated from German!

Iron Sky

I brought this and at first couldn't work out if it was meant to be a cheesy camp piss-take or it was meant to be serious. And i'm still not sure.

Onzadog: that's because Star Wars is rubbish. So are all the Matrix films.

My favorite ever film with spaceships is Forbidden Planet. Great 1950s dialogue, and an early appearance from Leslie Neilsen playing it super super straight.

Also from the Old Films Your Parents Liked pile: Logan's Run.

Def get all the Battle Star Galactica series, that will keep you going for ages.

Also as above, Bladerunner, Moon, District 9.

The Star Trek films are sadly pretty bad, the series was awesome but just didn't translate to big screen. The latest one quite good tho.

It's a shame there was never a Star Trek Voyager film, that's the best Star Trek, good and dark.

You misspelled "worst" there. Though I agree, the lack of a film or two is disappointing.

It -should- have been the best, it had a lot going for it. But there were just too many twee plotlines and missteps. "Ooh, an alien killing machine, let's see if it wants a cuddle." Only Janeway could make friends with the Borg FFS.

If you want "good and dark" Star Trek, what you're looking for there is Deep Space 9. It was pish for a couple of seasons whilst it found its feet, but once it got going it was head and shoulders the best show of the franchise. IMHO.

Boys never like Voyager. I think it's the lack of a biddable female robot to fantasize about.

Well, no, it's more that it spends a large amount of its time being twaddle, a notable exception being the Species 8472 plotline (well, until Janeway made friends with them, anyway).

Lack of female robot fantasy? Jerry Ryan?

I know the Federation were meant to be peaceful but how on earth do you have a science ship as your flagship?

They should have put Janeway into the first airlock available.
