Your favorite science fiction movie

[Ghost]

Hello,

Of all the science fiction movies you have seen, what are your favorite ones?
Its easy to name a series but try to stick to one part or two at most.

Mine are;

Alien
Aliens
Star Wars: A New Hope
The Terminator
The Thing (John Carpenter version)
The Abyss (well I liked it)
Robocop
Tron
Predator
Starship Troopers

If I had to choose from all of these it would be Aliens and Star Wars

That is quite hard as there have been so many over the years and it is my favourite genre.

The best out of any has to be Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back. For me that is the best Star Wars film out of them all and one of the best Science Fiction films of all time.

Others include:

Star Wars: A New Hope
2001: A Space Odyssey
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Tron
Pitch Black
Event Horizon
Alien
Supernova
Blade Runner
DUNE
Dark Star
Screamers
The Fifth Element
Terminator II
Robocop

Heh, you can't beat the revelation that Darth Vader is really Luke's father, right?

[Harrison]

Actually it's due to the Hoth battle. That section of the film is great, especially the stop motion AT-ATs. Brilliant.

The Empire Strikes Back was also the first Star Wars film I saw at the cinema when it was released and has remained one of my favourite films ever since.

[Ghost]

Darn, I only saw some of the crappy ones in cinema like War of the Worlds, A Sound of Thunder (which really is bad).

ESB was a bit darker and the characters were more grown.

[Harrison]

I definitely liked the darker feel of ESB compared to the first film although don't get me wrong, A New Hope is next to ESB in my all time favourite Sci Fi films.
