ok...of late, for some reason, I guess some peoplse have issues when it comes to certain movies, and they feel a need to trash it to their best to make themselve feel good and to make them look "cooler" i'de say in front of others.

SO...this thread is for the OPPOSITE basicaly, in here, we will discuss what we LOVE in movies...been FX, characters, whatever. we will NOT, and i Repeat NOT Bash any comments, someone sais he loved JarJar...THAT'S HIS RIGHT..

It can be Sci-fi or even a Drama..who cares..

SO...let's get the ball rolling..

Well since firefly came up, I would say the moment I was hooked on the show, when I knew it wasn't another run of the mill space opera, was when Mal kicked a chained and unarmed prisoner into the jet intake of his ship.

That scene was great! though I loved in the first episode were mal at the end walks into the loading bay and shots the government agent in the head without breaking stride! funny and cool as hell! ( I'm worried both things i'v said are about shooting people) oh FYI, Mal would make a great Indian Jones!

And unscripted...Lucas admitted it years later, that Ford did it on the spur of the moment. The reaction of the crowd was so good and spontaneous, they kept it instead of the scripted scene. Apparently it pissed off the actor playing the arab, as it was meant to be a longer fight scene and he missed his chance.

For my entry - I've got loads, but I'll start off with Equilibrium. A massively unsung cult-classic mixing 1984, Farenheit 451 and Matrix environments in one. Superb future-martial-arts fight scenes, and at last a realistic reaction to emotion for the first time (Bale listening to a record for the first time in his life).

Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

Hands down, the most developed Star Trek of them all. The charrectors were completley fleshed out, issues that featured in one episode stayed with the charrector/show throughout the series and a fundemental story arc that, ok Gene Roddenbury may not have totally aproved of worked completley and brilliantly...

Have to agree with you there! I was watching some of season 5 the other day and it was great! It had great SFX, a great story, fantasic sets and it was very witty!

Star Wars! All six films have something to offer, no two are the same, yet they all fit together into a whole.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture. One of my all-time favorites.

Alien (not fond of the sequels, but the original has a very special place in my DVD collection)

Blade Runner. Possibly the best science fiction film ever made.

As for TV shows, the new Galactica and Firefly are right up there, but don't forget the X-Files! THERE was a quality show. And ok, have to mention Miami Vice... not sci-fi, but one of the very few 80's TV series that stands the test of time.

**al3d** · 02-21-2007, 05:12 PM

OK....now i can post..

..damn telephone.

My all time favorite, no suprise Here...All 6 SW movies. as Simon said, they are all, to me, differents and very entertaining.

ST.TMP...many don't like it..but it's a classic to me.

Alien and Aliens..

...loved the whole design of those movies.

OUTLAND..an old 80's Sean Connery movie...like it..for some weird reason.

Disney's The Black Hole.

TV...
ST: DS9..only Trek show i watched realy.

Firefly..wich there was more.

OH, and my all time favorite..STARGATE SG1..a friend loaned me season 1 this fall..fell in love with the characters and show's style, so bought all 9 seasons on DVD.

New shows i started to watch that are pretty good so far. HEROES and EUREKA. Different yet very entertaining.

Well by the time you get to the end of season 10 of stargate, you might find yourself having reason to become a farscape fan too.
