Always looking for other fabulous SF movies or TV shows - which are your favorites? Do you have any recommendations? | |

I don't really have recommendations because all the best Science Fiction should have been seen, especially if your over 30.
Anyway my personal favorites
The thing from another world.
The Thing
They Live
Westworld
Terminator and Terminator 2
Predator and Predator 2
Alien and Aliens
Deadly Friend
Starman
Robocop and Robocopo 2
Men in Black
Enemy Mine
E.T
Logans Run

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. | |

Forbidden Planet
The Day the Earth Stood Still
War of the Worlds (the 1953 Gene Barry version--the remake is idiotic)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (the remake with Donald Sutherland isn't bad, but the 1956 Don Siegel/Kevin McCarthy version is much scarier) | |

An amazing basis for wonderment, great special effects of the day, a multitude of topics including scientific theories, religious intent, the afterlife and, more importantly, it didn't take itself seriously. | |

Back to the Future the trilogy in there, honestly every day that goes by and regrets begin to add up they become horror films.

Class of 1999, more early 90's cheese
Although it's more action, Escape from New York and LA
Soylent Green
Planet of the Apes

What do you mean?? Voyager's Species 8472's superior biology made them one of the best aliens ever conceived. 8472 was the first to offer real resistance to Borg assimilation. And the Xindi war during Enterprise's third season was quite interesting if you got into it.  | |

Posted: 7/11/2012 8:49:10 AM | I like dystopias;
My favorite show ever on television: 'The Prisoner' from the 1960's.
After that are selected episodes of night Gallery, the Twilight zone, Outer Limits and their kin
Movies...again dytopias or similar: Threads, the Adromeda Strain, Omega Man, the Last Man on Earth, On the Beach, etc.
Not into any sci-fi with shoot-outs, chases, etc....otherwise, glorified westerns. | |

I own "The Prisoner" box set that contains the entire series. It's a shame it only lasted one season.
AMC made an updated two-part mini-series version that was, surprisingly, not bad. A tad surreal, but palatable. | |

Posted: 7/12/2012 2:29:40 PM | Although it is not sci-fi, Supernatural is my favorite TV series--I watch it on Netflix and don't have a TV, so I am not familiar with new shows. The Twilight Zone will never be beat--yup, it is really dated, but it is the grandparent of all that comes after. There are two Discworld movies, Hogfather and The Colour of Magic ; there's a third one, Going Postal,but haven't seen it. Forget the animated adaptations.
The Last Man on Earth
On the Beach
Zardoz
The Navigator (not to be confused with Flight of the Navigator)
Brazil
I enjoyed many of the movies that others have mentioned. I did see Prometheus and while it was entertaining, it was too long and too predictable for old sci-fi buffs. | |

Eureka..
Brazil
Time Bandits
and many of the aforementioned..Looking forward to some I may have missed. There are the classics which I tried to watch again ie..original Star Trek, Outer Limits, etc. but the writing and effects make them so antiquainted these days. | |
