Sci Fi movies:)

[silv (Annette)]

cool collection - thanks all - and thanks for asking, Panos

not mentioned, yet, but I like:

The Red Dwarf - UK TV Series in a space ship. silly and gay.

Close encounters of the third kind.

And here's the link to imdb.com's Sci-Fi category, sorted by user rating.
http://www.imdb.com/search/title?gen...e_type=feature
When the rating is high, I also always like the movie.
(But a lot of movies get mediocre ratings which I find awesome. )

I saw Silent Running recently. I wanted the orange tube SCT scope that he was using to observe Earth from the orbit of Saturn.

No wonder some people have an unrealistic expectation of the capabilities of our telescopes.

+1 for The 5th Element, brilliant movie. Have lost count the number of times I have watched it. French/British collaboration. Costumes were designed by Jean Paul Gaultier, and it works.

+1 for Serenity (which was on TV last night ) and the series Firefly, by Joss Whedon who did Buffy and Angel. Don't let that put you off if you didn't like Buffy/Angel, Whedon's humor is way better suited to Firefly. Brilliant.

Also love Red Dwarf, looking forward to season X which will be airing in the UK soon on Dave (channel named after Lister )

How about the 1964 classic 'Robinson Crusoe on Mars'.
Watch out for Adam West (from the original Batman series), and have hours of fun shouting out the technical inaccuracies.
google it !
