Where have all the good sci-fi films gone (vanity)?

Yours truly

“Tin Man” got hosed by the critics, but I enjoyed it enough that I may poop for the DVD next month.

Childhood’s End

[Soliton]

I would like to see them make Azimov’s Classic The Foundation Trilogy!

Great choice! I would also like to see Burroughs' John Carter on Mars series, but the biggest money maker would be "Space Willies" and Bruce Willis would make the perfect hero.

If it was done right, I’d love it. That’s a great story.

Anything from Toho Studios, for example this one:

I agree. Sci-Fi has become the Fangoria channel. BTW, MST3K is available on YouTube. :-)

[SwankyC]

What about Cloverfield?

“I was hoping for a remake of “THEM””

Only if you make me a Sargent and charge the booze.

Did you ever notice in the old films from the 50s-60s, that at the first sign of trouble, one or more of the characters will pull a gun from his pocket or glove box? This says to me that it wasn’t unusual for men to walk around like that in those days.

[Secret Agent Man]

I’d really like to see someone make a good budget version of “Brave New World.”

I’d also like to see a good budget version of Asimov’s first 3 Foundation books (or maybe split into 3 movies).

[Army Air Corps]

Blade Runner is on my list of best films, period. The combination of the cinematography and the score by Vangelis is hypnotic.

[capt. norm]

Sci-fi suffers from a lack of writers of the caliber of Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke and a score of others.

I loved Babylon 5 until the Vorgon solution. I sat there for 10 minutes with an empty feeling in my stomach. I could never sit through another episode. I spent years watching the series, getting pulled in deeper and deeper then....... I was so disappointed.

SG1
Farscape.
Star trek TOS.

In that order IMO. Firefly would be on that list if they had more episodes.

“Invaders from Mars. I first saw this 1953 movie when I was a child, and it scared the Bejeezus out of me. Implants in the back of the head? And that creature in the globe!”

That one gave me nightmares when I was young. Another one that scared me to death as a child was Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. I first saw the previews at the drive in, and it scared me so bad my parents refused to take me to see the movie!

You don't have to poop for them anymore. You can just buy 'em now.

I never saw Firefly when it was on Fox as a series, but my son dragged me to see the movie Serenity. It was the most unusual yet entertaining show I have seen in many years. The characters were outstanding. The story was inventive. The dialog was hilarious. A space western, who could have imagined it would be so good. Too bad Fox had to pull the trigger so quickly.

The movie "Primer" from 2004 is a good hard Science Fiction movie.

If you ever wanted to see a "time-travel" story done right, this is it.

It was made on a 7,000 dollar budget.
