I once saw a really good science fiction movie, but for the life of me I can't remember its name. I though it was Dark Star, but checking IMDB reveals that to be some science fiction comedy which is very much not what I saw. What I saw seemed to be a piece about someone left alone in space, looking after a big garden of some sort and not really being able to cope when someone eventually comes to rescue him. Probably from the 60s or 70s. Anybody? Otherwise, I don't know, you look like you prefer serious ones so not Barbarella but maybe Metropolis or Soylent Green? EDIT: I hope you don't have The Matrix!

Throw away AI Check out Gattaca, Strange days, Wild Palms, Scanners & Event Horizon PS - the best sci-fi kicks are in books - like Greag Bear's "Forge of God", Bruce Sterling's "Distraction", Greg Egan's "Distress" or Alastair Reynolds' "Revelation Space" series

Rick: Didn't like Matrix. There are some animation Matrix short movies I found much better (Animatrix?). Thomas: I don't know that movie, but isn't Dark Star a John Carpenter movie with a bomb stucking or something? Maybe I saw Barbarella once. Torbjörn: I saw Strange days in the cinema and found it great, Gattaca too. I had Event Horizon on VHS, but it would be a good idea to get it. Anybody of you ever saw Ghost in the Shell? How is that? |

Dark Star is a great, very dark comedy. The movie you are thinking about Thomas is Silent Running |

Quote: Dark Star is a great, very dark comedy. The movie you are thinking about Thomas is Silent Running Good god, you're right! How did you do that? I'll have to catch it again sometime (both previous times have been channel surfing, probably to BBC2) and find out if my memory has really cheated me or not... EDIT: as it seems I have the plot at least slightly wrong, I guess so. But everyone still says it is great, so go watch it! [My site] [Tetrominoes] |

Final Fantasy? Although it goes a bit over the line:(

A few of these may stretch the definition a bit... but here goes: Alien, Aliens, Clockwork Orange, Delikatessen, Donnie Darko, 28 Days Later, Dark City, Equilibrium, Event Horizon, the Fifth Element, Gattaca, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, the first Matrix movie, Minority Report, One Point O (fairly new and unknown... don't let the low IMDB score fool you), Pitch Black, Screamers, Terminator 1 & 2, X-men 1 & 2. Should last you a while Oh, and follow Torbjörn's suggestion and sell AI without looking at it -- |

Nah, they are nice after you have watched them five or six times -- |

Watching the final two episodes of Evangelion are equivalent to watching all three LoTR movies, only to see Frodo make it to the summit of Mt. Doom, whip out a strap-on and arse-phuck Gollum, cut his own throat with a leftover (and very stale) piece of Elven bread, while watching Sam run in circles endlessly screaming "Dead babies with rabies!" Then the credits roll... Or, I could have been less graphic and just said it was painful; but where's the fun in that?! --> |

Sirocco: Someone told me that Plan 9 really sucks. I didn't see it yet, but I liked the movie Ed Wood by Tim Burton. |

Yes, both of those suggestion were made in jest -- although I have run into a few people who saw redeeming value in Barbarella... shudder. --> |

I've watched the first two eps of Earth Sea and it's a very good, well thought out, and generally well done series. Sci-Fi tends to make quite a few well done origional series. Go watch Soilent Green... you'll never guess the plot of that movie ___________________________________ |

The same happens with LotR or any fantasy book, including Stephen King ones. -- |
