TigerJ Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Hard to beat Star Wars for good swashbuckling fun. Close Encounters and Contact are probably better "serious science fiction," though.I was a Trekkie once. In retrospect Star Trek, the Next Generation was done better than the slightly campy original. It goes way back but "My Favorite Martian" with Bill Bixby and Ray Walston was fun. More recently it was Mork (was that the name of the series?) with Robin Williams and Pam Dawber. That lasted a couple seasons too long though.

Alaska Darin Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Laugh if you must, but I'm to die for in fishnets and stilletoes. I was all the rage in Indiana. 146074[/snapback] Start cheering now haters. I may be away from the board for a few days while the wounds heal from the mental equivalent of sticking crab forks in my eyes. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
BigDaddy12 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Another Aliens fan. Hudson: "Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" Vasquez: "No. Have you?"

SilverNRed Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 "Star Wars" (the orignal, the new ones are horrendously awful) 146090[/snapback] I've said this a few times, but if you watch the original trilogy and really pay attention, the prequels write themselves. The story, as described by Obi-Wan in TESB and ROTJ, was great. How they screwed up the new ones, I'll never know.

Did anyone see 'Dune' am I the only one?
swede316 Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Here's a few that I think are classic and some other good Sci Fi movies: Alien and Aliens John Carpenter's The Thing The Terminator Predator Dark City Gattaca Minority Report * The 1st 4 are some of the best movies ever made.......The original Godzilla was a great movie.
Nanker Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Dark City was a very good unheralded movie. Did anyone see 'Dune' am I the only one? 146150[/snapback] Dune - the original with Sting as Feyd-Rautha Maybe the best role of Kyle MacLachlan's career - Paul Usul Muad'Dib Atreides. Paul: Stilgar, do we have wormsign? Stilgar: Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen. Loved the blacklight/blue spice eyes on the womenfolk.
