The Time Machine I've only watched the remake, not the original. Though you can see the original Time Machine in Gremlins 😉

Robocop ftw

"One time I called him, airhead"

Love the TV cut on that.

Robocop ftw

the original is wonderful, the remake ripped the soul out of it.

The Day The Earth Stood Still, When Worlds Collide, This Island Earth, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers and all those 1950's (even the low budget ones, like the masterpiece below ) ones are good to watch every now and then ,

but stuff like Star Wars isn't for me. I'm one of the rare ones who have never seen or wanted to see a Star Wars film.

If I could have any superpower it would be that!

How can you know something isn't for you if you've never given it a go?

 

[Drago]

Maybe he just dislikes Harrison Ford? Air traffic controllers aren't fond of him.

Star Wars is Space Opera not Sci Fi.
Try Galaxy Quest for more realistic version.

See
Invasion of the Body Snatchers ( 1970s version)
The incredible shrinking man
The Andromeda Strain

They're apparently going to make the fictional Galaxy Quest Tv show from the movie into a real one. It was on the cards years back but was stalled due to Alan Rickman's death.

Heresey! Loved EH when it first came out, watched it again recently and still loved it. I really like Sam Neil though so I'm biased. They did change the ending, some of which you can still see in the film, as Sam Neils character wasn't supposed to be the end boss. It was going to be the 'burned man' Lawrence Fishburne left behind.

[Event Horizon]
Well I did not know that!

It's a very under-rated film. Saw it at the cinema, and some bits genuinely creeped me out - I don't say that very often. And I'd struggle to find any flaws.
It's not high art, or revolutionary SF, but it's definitely a Good Movie! :-)

Reading this thread I'm gradually making my list:
1.Galaxy Quest
2. Mars Attacks

Mars Attacks is a belter! Can't believe I forgot about it.

Serenity

Not just Serenity, but the whole Firefly series.

 

[Cirrus]

Quite liked the Chronicles of Riddick, no mention of the cinematic master piece that is Independence Day… 😁

The 1960s version of Time Machine is rather good. Not seen the remake but it has a poor reputation
