1. Alien (I have to agree, all time classic!) 2. 2001 (2001 directors cut, i have to agree again) The special effects at that time (1968!) can absolutely concure with nowadays special effects!!! (i have the special edition DVD with an original movie piece) :D 3. Solaris (The russian 3 hour original, cause of the deeper story) 4. Solaris (The really good remake with George Clooney, which first irritated me but the film has all relevant story details compacted in 90 minutes!) Aloha, Uli |

4. Solaris (The really good remake with George Clooney, which first irritated me but the film has all relevant story details compacted in 90 minutes!) difficult to say, found the movie "not so good". I have readen the book from Stanislav LEM several times. The book is long too. First edition of the book came out 1961. Back to the Q: - ALIEN first and last part. - the fifth element is not bad too, lots of Spez eff) - if U remember, the pilot movie of Andromeda. There where they went to the other planet, passing the door found in Egypt. |

Although George Clooney plays the main character, this movie is a killer movie if you dive deeply into the story and let yourself shift away by the awesome pictures and ambient sounds that lead you to other side...

I tend to favor the old ones, but.. Robinson Crusoe on mars good film on survival on another planet The Thing from beyond space At least I think that's the name, it's much like an early version of Alien, a strange creature stows aboard a spaceship on mars and makes its way up every deck attacking the crew. THEM !.. You know, the one about the giant ants, you could barely see the wires holding up the giant ants antenna |

> Anyone like Mars Attacks with Jack Nicolson in? > That's not really a scifi, that's more like a comedy... How about 1953's War of the worlds? Aloha, Uli |

Best: À The Animatrix (Final Flight of the Osiris, Program, and Beyond) Metropolis (1927) Dr. Strangelove 2001 Young Frankenstein Planet of the Apes (1968) Spaceballs Deep Impact Akira (I really hated it, but it's a good film nonetheless) Worst: The Matrix, Matrix Reloaded, Matrix Revolutions - Waste of film. Watch this instead. Star Wars - All the prequels suck. The sequels will blow. Shame on Lucas. Star Trek - All of 'em. The TV shows were so much better... War of the Worlds - Listen to the original radio broadcast. Your imagination will thank you. [NOTE: Judging by its trailer, HHGTTG will most likely join the worst-list. Mos Def as Ford Prefect? Where's the Green Guy?!? Where is my big friendly "Don't Panic"?!?!] |

THE ABYSS (1989) director: James Cameron cast: John Bedford Lloyd, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Michael Biehn, J.C. Quinn, Ed Harris genre: Sci-Fi studio: Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment MPAA Rating: PG-13 Pretty Good. We make contact with alians, at the end. Plus there is that scene with husband and wife trapped, water rising, only one can survive. Dramatic. www.onlinetasklist.com |

In the Animatrix the episode Beyond is a real diamond! BTW: What's so bad on "War of the worlds"? Just read: "Forbidden Planet", yeeessssssss!!!!! That's a real good one, especially Leslie Nielsen as the captain and "The robot" ;) Aloha, Uli |
