Re: List the Top Ten Sci-Fi Movies of All Time
Well, I think we pretty much have covered the top sci-fi movies that most of us are aware of but what about the top 10 OBSCURE sci-fi movies ?
 Quoting: Artemis Rand


Yes, I was actually thinking a bout this. There are some great, little known, films. Maybe you start a new thread about it. As a member you could "curate" the thread. How about having one post per film, a brief description ( no spoilers ) to show why it is worth watching.

 
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72667265


Obscure means low budget. It doesn't go well with sci-fi. Some movies like say the Cube managed to make it work but still, its a movie in 1 room. Its not top sci-fi.


add Enemy Mine (1985) to the list
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72648450


You don't need James Cameron's budget from Avatar to make a great Sci-Fi film. Very low budget films include:

Monsters ( almost no budget, special effects made in his bath tub! ), Moon, Ex Machina, Night of the living dead, Primer, 28 Days Later, Never Let Me Go, The Terminator, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

 
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72667265


Without costing 100 millions... maybe settle for 10-20
but its often 1-2 and its not enought.
Your exemples are not "bad movies" but they barely qualify as sci-fi. Moon is probably the most sci-i and its all happening in a few rooms with 1 actor... anyway, i'm sure you get my point.

Re: List the Top Ten Sci-Fi Movies of All Time
Shit, what was that movie that came out not so long ago, where the dude wakes up in a cryogenic chamber, and he is on a crashed ship, then finds other survivors and has to hide while evading capture from these subhuman underground type creatures that were hunting them for food.

I don't want to ruin anymore of the movie for you, but what was it called? It had two words in the title...

It's not prometheus. But it came out a year or more before prometheus came out.

It was called.... the fucked up thing is I had to think of this movie to tell my coworker, and it took me days to finally think of it, just out of the blue. Now I have forgotten it again, and it is driving me fucking insane.

Re: List the Top Ten Sci-Fi Movies of All Time
Btw i think we can all agree that Avatar was really bad...
I have a friend who worked on the effects and they all knew the story was retarded. James Cameron is old and far from his prime years. After Strange Days (1995), its mostly crap like titanic lol

Avatar was a obvious rip off of the Book MIDWORLD by Alan Dean Foster, everything in Avatar was stolen from this story, Midworld is one of my all time favorite books.

Coherence : really bad and boring

Pontypool... never seen

A lot of low/no budget sci-fi films are no really sci-fi.
another one is Safety Not Guaranteed... where's the sci-fi in this? same with the 10 Cloverfield Lane, 5 min of sci-fi at the end and that's a sci-fi movie?
