Via the Llama Butchers (Rob, in particular) we have the latest “list of things I’ve read, heard, eaten, done, or seen.”
This time around, it’s Sci-Fi movies.
Actually, with a list like this, it’ll be easier to cross off the ones I haven’t seen. I’ve bolded the ones I own on video.
* The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! — one of my all-time favorites; vastly underrated. “Laugh while you can, monkey-boy.”
* Akira
* Alien
* Aliens — Best action/adventure sci-fi film ever. “We’d better get back, ’cause it’ll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night… mostly.”
* Alphaville
* Back to the Future
* Blade Runner — My brain hurts after I watch this… but it’s not a bad sort of hurt. “It’s too bad she won’t live! But then again, who does?”
* Brazil
* Bride of Frankenstein
* Brother From Another Planet
* A Clockwork Orange
* Close Encounters of the Third Kind
* Contact — “I… had an experience.”

* Escape From New York
* ET: The Extraterrestrial
* Flash Gordon: Space Soldiers (serial)

* The Incredibles
* Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956 version)
* Jurassic Park
* Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior
* The Matrix — “What is real? How do you define real?”
* Metropolis — “. . . .” (Hey, what do you expect? It’s a silent movie.)
* On the Beach
* Planet of the Apes (1968 version)
* Robocop
* Sleeper
* Solaris (1972 version)
* Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
* Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

* 12 Monkeys
* 28 Days Later
* 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
