Favorite Sci-Fi.. crumbs.. where to start , I have a few books & films in my collection.
When Worlds Collide (1951), long overdue for a sequel or even a series perhaps, the possibility of life on the rogue planet was never broached and the closing scene has pink pyramids in the background.
Silent Running 1968 - with the worries about global warming this movie is more relevant than it ever was back then, of course the real stars of the film were the drones Huey, Duey and Louie and that closing scene of the little robot with a watering can has been described as a real geek tearjerker.
DUNE - directors cut 1985, if Star Wars was classic 'Space Opera' then Dune has to be the equivalent of Shakespeare. It was a brave attempt to shoehorn an awful lot of plot and sub-plots into a movie that should of been an hour longer. This was redressed a few years ago by the Sci-Fi channel who did a mini-series that took the script more closely from the book. Rumor has it that they are going to be doing a remake of the original in the next few years. (along with a remake of Death Race 2000 , I do hope the get some of the original cast to do cameo appearances)
Kronos - 1957 **broken link removed**)
Now that is a rare one SV.
Not seen that for a long time, liked the bit with the snake ..
speaking of snakes...
"The Abominable Dr Phibes".. long before the likes of 'Saw' and countless others Vincent Price was finding cruel and unusual ways of dispatching his enemies. Thing to watch for is when Phibes inserts a jack plug into his neck so he can be heard on a loudspeaker.
I don't believe it! You'all are talking about TV episodes and no one mentioned "Twilight Zone"? Man, that was one of the best short of original Outer Limits of course.
OK, "Twilight Zone".
You reminded me though. How about Hitchcock Theatre!!!
Star Gate Atlantis
SG-1
Eureka (Didn't think I would like this one at first, but it sucked me in).
Battle Star Galactica (classic with Richard Hatch).
Buck Rogers
Damn, I wanted to say Buck Rogers.
But we had a special version here in RSA, it was dubbed into afrikaans.
bidibidi-oh-oh.
I was still at school, but I liked the leading actress. She was nhummy.
Don't remember her dubbed name though.
My favourite Sci-fi is yet to be written
Its called the day the world (may have) ended. Its based on a true story about when the Large Hadron Collider was switched on and blackholes formed in the centre of the earth and over every major city. The story's heroes will have to journey to the centre of the earth, while Will Smith battles the black holes above the major cities using a space ship found in the 60's and was stored in Area51.
But seriously...doesn't the start of the LHC seen like a plot to a (good?) SCI-FI book?
