Wot no Episode I ? :)And seriously, no Dark Star ???

And classifying "Sleeper" as a Sci-Fi film - LOL !!!

I'll think about my score, I have to consider whether those I fell asleep watching (like The Truman Show and Gattica) count as "seen".

tbh I've not heard of half of those, and only seen 10/15.
But then I don't do movies, not even subscribed to the movie channels.
I'm now wodering to myself why I even bothered posting :)

Guest
I've seen a lot of them and some of the ones that you haven't seen like Fahrenheit 451, strange film ;)

Guest
I've actually heard of F. 451, because it's used as a code for keypads in many of Looking Glasses old games - SS2 being a prime example.

Guest
Yep, I've seen 451, and THX 1138 too.

Strange list, "Thing from another world" and "The Thing" are the same film really.

Methinks the term "Science Fiction" has been stretched a little too far on that list ... Rocky Horror ? Ghostbusters ?

Sar, I cant believe you havnt seen The Andromeda Strain.

You kids, honestly. :rolleyes:

I wouldnt put Jacobs Ladder in a sci-fi list either. (very good, if confusing film though)

i recognised 1/2 the names, and some of them when they were televised (i remember reading the book "the Andromeda Strain" before I saw the film)

On the Beach is the most dreary pile of bollocks, and most of the films on that list are far better in book form.

Trivia corner: THX 1138 was George Lucas' first film, the identification was his phone number, it appears as a number plate in American Graffitti, Chewbacca was being transferred from "cell 1138" and THX is the sound system he developed.

They aren't all SF. Dr Strangelove isnt or Frankenstein really.

Seen most of them except Slaughterhouse five and Akira (cartoon)

Akira being a 'cartoon' means you haven't seen it? :rolleyes:

Sar

Guest
Nope Willier, ain't seen it.

Yet ;)

Couple there I want to see a great deal: Donnie Darko, Iron Giant, Andromeda Strain, THX 1138, Fahrenheit 451, eXistenZ and A Clockwork Orange.

The rest I ain't too bothered about.

BTW: Akira is fucking brilliant. I saw it years ago and recently bought the 2-disc DVD. Superb stuff.

There's cartoons, and then there's Animé.

Slight difference in quality & general tone and subject matter.
