Louis Gossett Jr. was amazing in that!

 

[Kobold]

Robinson Crusoe on Mars is one of my all time favorites

 

[Chasing Embers]

Galaxy Quest

The only time Sigourney Weaver's unedited line was played was in theaters but it was hilarious.

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

Forbidden Planet, Rollerball (the original) and Alien.

 

[Sparcdude]

Hmm…let’s see...

2001
The Fifth Element
Blade Runner
Red Dwarf (have to include this!)
Dark Star - 1974 film. it’s where Dan O’Bannon got the idea for Alien.
Andromeda Strain (1971)

I am not super high-falootin' or anything. I watch movies because they make me happy and/or enjoy the experience. Therefore, sometimes I don't resonate on these lists as much as some.

For example: Yes, I get that Alien was the genre bending film and is *superior*, but I watch Aliens far more, I find it more enjoyable. Especially if you get the good cut where the aliens are coming over underground in the tunnel and they deploy the remote MG's that just barely stop them.

So, Aliens and Alien.

The Thing. Second only to Big Trouble in Little China, this is a masterpiece for Carpenter/Russell. I was 11 or 12 when I saw it, and the couch scene had me jumping up and down.

Planet of the Apes (1968) I like them all, though, tbh.

I know everyone loves T2, but Terminator is my favorite.

Soylent Green

RoboCop is fun. It aged okay.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)

Star Trek (OS: IV is my Fave, but II is awesome) Pretty much the even ones are amazing, the odd ones filler.

Predator GET TO THA CHOPPAH!

Star Wars IV and V

Inception

Interstellar - everyone should see it once.

5th Element - Multipass!

Close Encounters

Strange Days

Blade runner is as dystopian as it is Sci Fi, so since that ceiling is broken:

Mad Max, Road Runner

My Science Project

City Limits

And since someone mentioned Red Dwarf (I TOTALLY second that, btw)

Battlestar Galactica (original)

Battlestar Galactica (scifi channel one circa 2004)

Fringe

Dune (The Sci-FI Channel mini-series is my favorite, over the 1984 David Lynch film, sorry Sting, and the new ones).

The Expanse

Rewatching The Expanse right now, one of my favorite shows of all time. Still haven't read the books yet, a great shame, I know.

 

[Sigmund]

I keep forgetting to check out the Expanse. I think I stared it but couldnt warm up to it. I should give it another whirl.
