Best Films Some of my favourite films.


2001 : A Space Odyssey

One of the most famous science fiction films of all time, with visual effects that have rarely been bettered in the years since its release.

2010 : The Year We Made Contact

Sequel to 2001 and almost as good as the original, this is an excellent and under-appreciated science fiction film.

A.I. : Artificial Intelligence

Technically impressive but rather tedious robotic fable from Steven Spielberg.

Airplane! 2 : The Sequel

Reasonably amusing sequel, this time IN SPACE.

Aliens

Sci-fi action film, one of the best Monster Movies of all time.

Alien : Ressurrection

The fourth "Alien" film has its moments but overall is a bit of a mess.

Antibody

Low budget "Innerspace" rip-off starring Lance Henriksen.

Antitrust

Possibly the best computer-programmer movie of all time. Not that there was really any competition that wasn't extremely laughable.

Armageddon

Possibly the best Big Asteroid movie of all time. That doesn't really mean it's any good.

The Arrival

An undeservedly obscure Alien Conspiracy movie from the director of "Pitch Black".

Bad Taste

Gory low-budget horror comedy from the director of "The Lord Of The Rings" as elite New Zealand special forces fight off aliens.

Blade Runner

Hugely influential science fiction movie about a Bounty Hunter who hunts escaped androids. Co-starring Rutger Hauer.

Brazil

Terry Gilliam-directed weirdness about a lowly office worker in a dystopian future.

Back To The Future

Michael J Fox travels back in time to the 1950s and has to somehow get back. To the future.

Capricorn One

NASA decides to fake a landing on Mars after messing up the proper mission. Naturally, the astronauts aren't too happy about this.

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind

Flying Saucers appear. Hilarious consequences fail to follow.

Cypher

Complex science fiction film about a bored corporate spy who is saved by Lucy Liu in a miniature helicopter.

Dark City

Atmospheric science fiction film about a man with strange powers but no memory.

Deep Core

Low budget disaster movie about a desperate mission to try and stop volcanic eruptions.

Donnie Darko

A unique science fiction movie that is probably one of the best films of recent years.

Evolution

Extra-terrestrial comedy from the director of Ghostbusters.

Flatliners

Horror about a group of medical students who decide to kill themselves in the name of scientific experimentations. This turns out to not be a good idea.

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

Imperfect but entertaining of classic British Sci-fi Comedy story.

The Host

Koren monster movie with a bit of dysfunctional family comedy added in. Better than it sounds from that description.

Impostor

Obscure but quite good science fiction film.

The Matrix

A superb sci-fi action movie, even if it isn't as clever as it thinks it is.

Pitch Black

Surprisingly good monster movie about a group of people stranded on a deadly planet.

Beneath the Planet Of The Apes

Terrible sequel featuring nuke-worshipping mutants.

Planet of the Apes (2001)

Glossy but stupid remake of the classic science fiction film.

Armageddon/Redline/Deathline

Low budget sci-fi thriller with a number of different names. Stars Rutger Hauer.

Riverworld

Unexceptional adaptation of Phillip Jose Farmer's science fiction series.

Sandkings

Effective Feature-length TV episode horror about a man with some unusual pets.

Stargate

The US military uncover an interstellar transportation device.

Sunshine

Visually spectacular and mostly intellignet Science Fiction about a mission to save the Sun

Supernova

Poor science fiction film about a medical ship who answer a distress call from a remote colony.

Star Wars Episode 2 : Attack Of The Clones

Dissappointing prequel that is at least better than "The Phantom Menace".

Terminator 3 : Rise Of The Machines

Surprisingly good sequel as the Governor of California travels back in time to avert disaster.

Time Machine

Remake of the classic science fiction story that is let down by a silly last section.

Vanilla Sky

Hollywood remake of inventive Spanish movie "Open Your Eyes".

The Wolf Brigade

Atmospheric anime film about an elite group of soldiers.
