_BiB_ Posted December 4, 2004 Author Posted December 4, 2004 Excellent choice. And nice use of font size and color! CW 145821[/snapback] The only time I can recall ever wanting to screw a lizard.
KD in CA Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Can't blame him, I would've too. 145798[/snapback] Penny or Judy.....your choice!
Rico Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Penny or Judy.....your choice! 145824[/snapback] I'll take them both & the mom. What're they gonna do to me, they're lost in space.

T-Bone Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 the two best SF films made for accuracy would be Destination: Moon, and 2001 A Space Odyssey 2010 was a very unrated sequell. Star Trek 2, the Wrath of Khan and Star Wars IV: A new hope were very good space opera. Funniest SF film would be Spaceballs
Rico Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 You'd have Lassie after you. 145832[/snapback] Timmy too... wait a minute... I should clarify that I would not do B&W Penny, only color Penny. I have some scruples.
Ralonzo Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Funniest SF film would be Spaceballs 145836[/snapback] I thought Galaxy Quest, myself. Not as much of a full-on spoof, but nails every Sci Fi cliche there is. Underappreciated sci-fi series: Odyssey 5 on Showtime. That was a very interesting series, but apparently didn't have enough homosexuals to be picked up for another season. Manny Coto and the creative team from O5 was hired for this season of ST:Enterprise, which has been vastly improved, but I don't think anyone has noticed. Favorite TV Series: Gotta be ST:TOS. However, I'm one of the minority that really dug ST:DS9... I thought ST:TNG was passable and ST:V was awful.
Fan in San Diego Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 'Dune' is amazing as well. The first one.
Cugalabanza Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 I agree with Forbidden Planet. 2 more not yet mentioned: Donnie Darko, 12 Monkeys
OGTEleven Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Weird Science (It has science right in the name). I liked the TV Series Millenium. I liked most of the sci-fi movies mentioned here and the recent one Dr. K mentioned in an old thread.....Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine.
Nanker Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 My favorite Non-Bills Sci Fi Movie is John Carpenter's "The Thing" which I believe is a remake of "It - the Terror from Space" My favorite Bills Science Fiction movie, however is "The Greatest Comeback." THAT movie is simply UNBELIEVABLE!

It was a good movie though. P.S. He called my sister "Creature from the Black Lagoon".

He called my sister "Creature from the Black Lagoon". 145893[/snapback] I think you've got the correct name - It - the Terror from Beyond Space. I actually saw that at the movie theatre when it first came out. I think I was about 7 and I had bad dreams for days. Man, that was scary! Carpenter's remake is awfully scary too in a creepier kind of way. By the way, what did you call your brother?
SilverNRed Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Firefly the series. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...&s=dvd&n=507846 The idiots at Fox cancelled it, but there's a reason it was the #1 best selling DVD at Amazon for months (before and after its release), and there's a reason that Universal picked it up and made a movie (with all of the same cast members - http://www.serenitymovie.com - comes out September 30th). If you like sci-fi, westerns, or excellent character development and dialog, you'll love the series (keep in mind that it's not Star Trek type sci-fi. There's no super-scanners, transporters, phase cannons, etc. You gotta watch it, but I don't know ANYONE who's seen it and not liked it; 1,164 Amazon reviews and it has a 5-star rating). CW 145791[/snapback] ....and my uncle had a small role with a couple lines in one of the episodes (the one where the star of the show ends up in a duel towards the end). He played some interplanetary dignitary or something talking to the ship's mechanic about engines or something.
JLO Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 oh, and since some of us are throwing TV shows into the mix, how can you not vote for Twilight Zone as best sci-fi series ever?
SilverNRed Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 The Empire Strikes Back is one of my all-time favorite movies, but it's barely sci-fi (fantasy?). For pure sci-fi, I'm going with..... ALIENS "My mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones, but there are." "Game over, man, game over! We're !@#$ed!" "Get away from her, you B word!" Hell yeah. It came out in 1986 and nothing has come close to it since.

I watched that episode over Thanksgiving weekend and thought about you and your uncle. CW
