I like Science Fiction, Fantasy and end of the world movies. I wonder who out there likes them too.

Here are a few that I like in no particular order.

Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, THX1138, Logans Run, Planet of the Apes, Star Wars, Demolition Man, Conan, Krull, Sword and the Sorcerer, Excalibur, 1984, Six String Samurai, Minority Report. There are a few off the top of my head. I'm looking for good movies. Any recommendations?

#5. To: A K A Stone (#0) (Edited)

I like bad Comedies (Airplane, Naked Gun, etc) and GOOD Science Fiction. Unfortunately, there is very little GOOD Science Fiction.

I just found a site listing the 100 Greatest Sci-Fi movies of all time.

I'll tell you what I think of a few of them:

#1. 2001: A Space Odyssey

I've actually tried to watch this on several occasions. It's so boring that I fell asleep each time.

#2. Star Wars: Episode whatever...

This is not science fiction. It's science fantasy. The beautiful princess, knights in shining armor with their sabers, etc. The science is really junk too, e.g,. they can only jump to light speed, yet they quickly move across an entire galaxy, which may span 100,000 light years across. Complete crap.

#12. Jurassic Park series

This is what destroyed the movie industry. Poor story. Horrible acting. No character development. Great animation. After this, movies were all about cool animation and little else.

#13. Alien series

Horror / science combo. I generally dislike horror movies, but I like these because they are so well done.

#15. Back to the Future

Fun stories. Horrible science. Once you travel time, the effects are immediate. Polaroid snapshots don't change to predict upcoming events.

#17. Terminator series

Overall good. The story line is not exactly original -- machines getting smart and taking over the world is not new. However, they combine it with time travel and many bullets per minute.

#59. Predator

Absolutely. Why wouldn't an insectasoid from another planet come here to hunt primates? Good story. Ok acting. Bullets per minute. No crap physics to deal with.

70. Men in Black

Unique comedy meets science. Not good science, but what a fun movies

#73 The Matrix series

The first Matrix was compelling (the sequels were not). The science was ok. We could be living in a computer simulation (there is actually evidence that we are). However, our bodies probably wouldn't be powering the computer.

#84 Star Trek series

Mixed -- some great movies, some really lousy ones. Overall, the science is the best of any science fiction movies. Star Trek pays real scientists to make sure the science is plausible. It shows.

Saw Predators a few weeks ago. It was surprisingly good. Up there with the original one.
