In the near future I'm going to leave the internet for a bit in order to save some money on phone bills. I'll be using this extra cash to buy some movies over the internet. Some already on my list: -citizen kane -jacob's ladder -rushmore -mst3k dvd -forbidden planet -colossus: the forbin project -andromeda strain -thx 1138 I probaby won't get all of them but making lists is fun. I don't want this to turn into another favorite movies thread so i'm restricting it to the sci-fi genre. I would also like to know which of the mst3k dvds would you say is the funniest? Please explain a little about the movies you're recommending. |

|
|
um.. how is "citizen kane" supposed to be science fiction..? |
||||||||
|
|

The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price has been one of my favorites for a while. Very much like 28 Days Later, but with... Vincent Price. It's a pretty startling movie in many ways. I think it qualifies as sci-fi. Anything depicting post-apocalyptic ''societies'' is always rad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i don't see that connection. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not supposed to be, as far as i know. that's just my list. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is an excellent film. vincent price is such a classic actor! |
||||||||
|

How are Citizen Kane and Rushmore sci-fi? Rushmore is great. Citizen Kane is not as good as I was led to believe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You're restricting the thread to sci-fi by naming films from any genre then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jacob's ladder & the andromeda strain are 2 excellent films i own and have watched many times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh I didn't see that one! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could just spend the money on the internet and download the films |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay. Let me clear this up for everyone. I'm not going to be buying just sci-fi movies. That is just the list of movies i have on my list so far (which is not restricted by sci-fi). This thread is however, restricted by the sci-fi genre. So please continue Sci-Fi: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i much prefer sci-fi tv series to films, especially sapphire & steel, and blake's 7. they are available on dvd, do they count? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the amount of time it would take to download the movie would amount to a phone bill high enough for me to buy each movie twice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you don't have broadband internet in South Africa? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only in soweto |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. the monthly cost is not too bad (less than what my phone bill is). the setup fees are way too expensive and besides i'm probably moving out at the end of the year... anyone around here have mst3k? |
||||||||
|
|

The Day the Earth Stood Still-Is a must have for any Sci-Fi fan. It's a timeless movie that makes no attemp to predict technology which tends to date older stuff. |
||||||||

campy, overlooked and awesome: Forbidden Planet i also really like the heston three: planet of the apes (the original), the omega man, soylent green |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah forbidden planet is a classic. i love it. the heston apes were the best. the first is still my favorite because of the whole discovering it for the first time thing. Current sci-fi only list: -mst3k dvd -forbidden planet -colossus: the forbin project -andromeda strain -thx 1138 -the last man on earth -the day the eath stood still -omega man -soylent green i looked all these up and most sound very promising. its going to be tough having to siff through them and make a final decision. i should probably add blade runner to the list because i've always wanted to own it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
andromeda strain is overrated, imo. it's really not something i'd want to sit through more than once. really boring and dry, only a couple of good scenes. definitely get blade runner - i've been meaning to pick it up myself! ;) |
||||||||
|
|

Jacobs Ladder was good, if you enjoy it, go and get altered states, that should be very cheap anywhere. I got the dvd for 8$. |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
for some reason andromeda strain always comes up on these "must see sci-fi" movie lists. i've been meaning to see it for ages. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
