So I'm looking for some good sci fi movies. Nothing too cheesy. I'm not looking for comedies. Preferably from the 70s and later. I tried looking up some titles but it's like trying to find a grain of sand on a beach. Anyone got any suggestions?
Also, not Star Trek, Star Wars, or Aliens. I've seen all those.
Thanks.

Good, though. _________________ Myxo wrote: deathstalker wrote: its official,. deadsayer is the worst person in existence.

I really liked the movie Moon that came out in 2009. It's kind of "slow" like 2001: A Space Odyssey, but it's good. If you haven't seen it, I would recommend avoiding watching the trailer or reading about it before you watch it.

Would have been a wild time on K.

So I downloaded Farscape. Twice. Unfortunately both times, even though it was avi format, my room mate's XBox won't play it. This is pissing me off.

Star Gate (1994) Already said I've seen Stargate. Just watched it again recently, actually. It sucked ass. So did Dark City. _________________ Myxo wrote: deathstalker wrote: its official,. deadsayer is the worst person in existence.

I bought Star Gate a few months back. In my opinion it did not age well at all. It just seemed really lame.
Thanks to this thread I just bought The Fifth Element on Bluray. 7 bucks!

I appreciate it because I read all of those Chariot of the Gods? and 12th Planet books. It's an action film based primarily on those concepts. Plus I took my first HS date to that movie!

The first movie I took a girl to was Pet Semetary 2. Like a year or two AFTER I graduated, I think?  You'd be surprised to know that as many movies and TV shows I watch now, I watched almost none until after I graduated HS.

I liked Stargate when I first saw it. Years ago. When I watched it recently, I even remarked on here how I hadn't realized how badly it sucked and didn't make any sense at all.
