Don't do that, I second Empire Strikes Back.

Most people dont want to talk about sci fi because it brings out their inner nerd.

While we're at it I nominate 2001.

Re: Monthly Movie Marathon: July: SCIFI: Nominations
 

total recall

Re: Monthly Movie Marathon: July: SCIFI: Nominations
 

I'll nominate both Terminator and Terminator 2, easily two of the best sci fi movies ever.

I am surprised no one here has really mentioned Serenity... there are generally a decent number of Firefly fans in these threads.

I'll second Matrix... could be lots to discuss...

Re: Monthly Movie Madness: July: SCIFI: Nominations
 

Second 'Silent Running' and 'ST First Contact', also '2001'; though one really needs to read the book to understand what the hell is going on there.

Re: Monthly Movie Madness: July: SCIFI: Nominations

Hmmmm? We have way too many "serious" scifi's here. I'm a big fan of the schlocky 1950's scifi. Gimme the Collosal Man, Them, Godzilla vs. Mothra or the Incredible Shrinking Man anyday over an Aliens or Matrix.

Trouble is I'm not sure how many of those 50's classics are available on DvD?

Re: Monthly Movie Madness: July: SCIFI: Nominations
 

I have another nom. I nominate Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!!!
