I tend to found moving picture SF (film and television alike) not a patch on the written word variety. <br />But in my case that's possibly true of moving pictures against the written word in general.<br />I'm just not that into cinema I suppose.Jack Deightonhttp://jackdeighton.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369127277021590195.post-62312804025391686172009-05-16T19:28:00.000+01:002009-05-16T19:28:00.000+01:00Also, I forgot Buckaroo Banzai.Also, I forgot <I>Buckaroo Banzai</I>.Tim Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057940001397928717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369127277021590195.post-86578273173524654092009-05-16T19:27:00.000+01:002009-05-16T19:27:00.000+01:00Tremors, like The Matrix, has no sequels.

And I suspect I was focusing too much on heartland sf when I put my list together. <br /><br /><I>The Quiet Earth</I> I thought was a bit rubbish and couldn't see what all the fuss was about.<br /><br />I've been after a copy of <I>Android</I> for ages but have yet to find a copy that doesn't break the Rule of DVD.Ian Saleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375389971610069381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3369127277021590195.post-61318941837337066222009-05-16T01:18:00.000+01:002009-05-16T01:18:00.000+01:00A much better list.

Their not including Stalker or La Jetee was just bizarre. <br /><br />I'm glad to see that someone else prefers ST:TMP to Khan, and glad to see some respect for Dune and Sky Captain, both flawed but worthwhile films, at least for those of us for whom the visual aspect is important. (The new Trek is quite good in that department as well.)<br /><br />Some possible additions:<br /><br />Tremors (best creature feature ever)<br />The Quiet Earth (a tasty last-love-triangle-on-earth film from New Zealand)<br />Phase IV (my favorite of the rash of post-2001, pre-Star Wars SF art films)<br />Android (an odd little arty film co-starring Klaus Kinski, and reusing the sets from Battle Beyond The Stars)<br />City of Lost Children (admittedly pretty borderline SF, but wow)<br /><br />I have the disc of On The Silver Globe in hand, and have high hopes for it.<br /><br />And I have a soft spot for Logan's Run, but wouldn't try to defend it...Tim Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057940001397928717noreply@blogger.com
