+Dagger Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 for those really funny ones"Killer Klowns from out space" Quote
tank03 Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 It's not really off the wall, but I loved the old black and white movie "Them" when I was a kid. I saw it a couple of years ago, and it still was pretty good. Quote
+FastCargo Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 I always liked that movie "They Live". Cheesy commentary on society, and one of the best lines: "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum." Classic! FastCargo Quote
firehawkordy Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Narrowed it down to three... Tank Girl Judge Dredd The Fifth Element The amount of inside jokes know to Sci-Fi fans in these three is gold. Quote
FalconC45 Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Tank Girl, They live, Fifth Element are my favs. Falcon Quote
Nightshade/PR Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 The Day The Earth Stood Still Forbidden Planet This Island Earth Quote
tank03 Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 "The Day The Earth Stood Still" Forgot about that one. It was great, even if a little outdated. Quote
+Dagger Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 well for the real thing,ok I won't mention Star Trek Movies..Them,The Day the Earth Stood Still,Forbidden Planet,and of course Blade Runner,and Logans Run. Quote
serverandenforcer Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Flight of the Navigator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
tank03 Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Flight of the Navigator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes! I completely forgot about that movie- it was great! Quote
firehawkordy Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Forgot one, Death Race 2000. The only recognizable name at the time was the " Real Don Steele", a mediocre radio DJ in Los Angeles at the time. If you ever get to see this look for some future big name actors just starting out. Quote

The Real Don Steele wasn't just a mediocre radio DJ. He was literally the voice of KEARTH 101.1 FM for many years untill he unfortunately passed away. I remember listening to him when I was a kid. Boy that brings back memories. OK, back to the topic of this thread... um..... Total Recall Quote
+Wrench Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 What!!!???!!! No one mentions the greatest sci-fi movie ever made??? Plan 9 From Outer Space best quote: Alien Leader: 'You earth people are stupid!! Stupid, Stupid Stupid" Our Hero: "I've had all this I'm gonna take"!!! Don't forget 'Dark Star' Sci-Fi OWNS!! Wrench Kevin Stein Quote
serverandenforcer Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) O.K. how about.... The Last Starfighter The Andromeda Strain The Manhattan Project Short Circuit I and II Science Project Tron Inner Space Robo Cop I, II, and III AI Minority Report Starship Troopers Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow The Island Hollow Man Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure The One Pitch Black The Chronicles of Riddic The 6th Day (or was it the 7th?) Event Horizon Titan AE Space Balls - I'll think of more... Edited April 23, 2007 by serverandenforcer Quote
serverandenforcer Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Got a good question here... If the fiction in the science ends up being factual in the future (real world), is it really science fiction then? For instance... Star Trek: Communicators; Real World: Cell Phones, Star Wars: Turbo Lasers; Real World: real laser weaponry, Star Trek: transparent aluminum; Real World: real transparent aluminum, Star Trek and Star Wars: energy shields; Real World: a device currently under research and development that emits a powerfull micro wavic field that protects anything inside of it, Star Trek: transporters; Real World: another device currently under research and development that does the same thing, Star Trek: Cloaking device; Real World: a cloaking device of sorts (not exactly like in Star Trek though). Other science fictional ideas that had been made that are now under research (and development?) are warp drive, artificial gravity, holo suites (the full surround holograph part is already developed), hypo sprays (already developed), tricorders (already developed), and a bunch of other stuff that once was fiction is now factual.

Caveman Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 MIB 1 and 2 and I LOVE starship troopers Stargate the movie... Buck Rogers.....Predator... AVP does reign of fire count?? Quote
serverandenforcer Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 almost forgot Wing Commander I can't believe I forgot that one. Actually, I was very disappointed with that movie. The video game was great though. Hm... perhaps the modding community might want to pull together and make a new version of it that would be up to today's standards in PC gaming. Time to get back into my 3d Max. Quote
+JediMaster Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 WC the games rocked. WC the film sucked. The actors were FAR too young. Some of the conventions used were way wrong. It was like WWII in space. The ships have to land NOW because they're running out of fuel? You're in space! Just sit there and they'll come get you! What was with the Das Boot "pinging" scene?? In space?!? My list of films is long indeed, but I think Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy needs to be here near the top! So: HHHttG Fifth Element Total Recall Minority Report MIB 1 and 2 Matrix Trilogy All ST and SW, of course All Alien and Predator Terminators AI Forbidden Planet (my favorite old SF film) Day Earth Stood Still (2nd favorite) This Island Earth (great when does as the MST3K movie!!) Starship Troopers Stargate Independence Day Godzilla (the 98 one) Last Starfighter Andromeda Strain Short Circuits Space Balls Pitch Black Chronicles of Riddick Dark Star Dune X Files Movie Jurassic Park films Probably a bunch more Quote
+FastCargo Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 I wonder if the thread topic is drifting a bit... He did say 'off the wall' movies...I don't know if movies like Andromeda Strain, Day the Earth Stood Still, any ST or SW, 2001, etc really count. I mean more unknown or cult classic type flicks. FastCargo Quote
