Star Wars IV, V, VI < all

/thread
It’s got to be alien then aliens.
Tron, The original 1980’s movie, not Tron Legacy.
Blade Runner
One film which is new to me is but amazing is Solaris (original Russian movie 1972) it’s a slow film but visually rich and worth it just for an amazing freeway scene in Japan as an example of a future city.
I discovered it after finding a copy of the soundtrack which is truly epic.
Have you seen anything else by Tarkovsky?
My personal Top Ten…
- Blade Runner.
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Close Encounters of the Third Kind
- Star Wars - V
- Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
- Planet of the Apes
- Aliens (1986)
- The Matrix
- The Day the Earth Stood Still
- Back To The Future
Yeah. Stalker is also amazing. Solaris is my favorite film of all time. I went out with this Russian chick years ago that turned me onto Russian cinema.
Not yet, please share any other cult films sci fi you can think off I am always looking for new films
Haha fair enough. I’ve only seen Stalker and Zerkalo and honestly, I didn’t really like Stalker (I probably need a rewatch), but Zerkalo was amazing.
winner .. directors cut tho, not the version with the narration
I watched Aliens again the other week - what a top film that is. I know it’s not the pinnacle of cinema or anything but as an action movie it’s absolutely spot on! The characters, script, acting - all great. Some of the current batch of action movies should take note!!
I agree Alien probably a better film overall though.
Did you like Prometheus?
Is there a scene in it where the astronaut is in a spaceship looking down at solaris and it’s a kind of “sea” and thinks he sees a baby in it or something? Trying to figure out if I watched this a few years ago… very suspenseful and bit creepy…
Incidentally, recently watched the Clooney remake and really enjoyed it.
I reckon Prometheus was better than the Alien films, but that’s probably mostly because I prefer slower-paced films in general.
Event Horizon for sure!
Attack of the Killer tomatoes !!
