Flesh Gordon
I used to have a VCD rip of it, but it has since been lost  |
I saw that ages ago. It's kinda funny, but I was a tad disappointed by the Penisaurus... |
Oh it's not something that's going to raise your IQ level. A movie with a guy named Emperor Wang can't be missed!

The cable network TV Land is showing part 1 of "The Menagerie" at 7 am Sun and later the next morning at 1 am. Part 2 will be the same times on Monday, according to their schedule. Be aware they are notorious for having shows begin late, like by 20 minutes. Captain Pike, in the Menagerie, really freaked me out when I was a kid.

It's not a movie, but I dig X Minus One, an old time radio show. A lot of the episodes are naturally a bit dated, but in general it's way better than most sci-fi movies I've seen. There's a link to all the episodes on the wiki, but I'll post it here as well:

Also, Masters of Science Fiction is in production for ABC, if I remember correctly, and that looks promising (if it doesn't get cancelled).
And I ordered a book by Shinichi Hoshi, in the original Japanese, and I'm hoping that's gonna be good.

From the late 70s to early 80s:
Bladerunner (is amazingly now 25 years old!)
Alien (both of these films directed by Ridley Scott)
Dune
Mad Max
The Terminator
Gattaca is a newer sci-fi movie that is overlooked.

Thanks for that link. I used to listen to X Minus One on Brando Classic Radio, an internet radio station. Thursday nights used to be all horror and scifi, probably still is. But now I can listen anytime to X Minus One.
To hijack the thread sideways for a minute: if you like the old radio shows, you would probably like the new stuff too. I recently found two podcasts I really enjoy. The podcasts are of short stories read, as opposed to performed as a show. The scifi podcast is EscapePod. Horror podcast is Pseudopod.

Ohhh man, thank you guys so much. I'm gonna be geeking out for the rest of the year with this kind of material.
I just started watching 2001: A Space Odessey and holy fuck! I'm an hour through, the computer just told the news reporter he was conscious. It's blowing my friggin' mind! I stopped watching it because my girlfriend fell asleep and she is going to love it, and instead of watching it on the computer I want to watch it on a TV. |

So pretty much just listen to the lyrics to the Rocky Horror theme, and you'll get a bunch of ideas.  |

This was "Fantastic Voyage". Asimov wrote the book adaptation.
This was very good for its time and I think is due for a remake.

Heh. Try reading the books, which go to 3001. I was a kid when I read them, and didn't understand them, though there were allusions present to be sure. I plan on reading them again soon, as I feel I'm more prepared to understand them.
But, definitely - praise Kubrick. An excellent director.

Man, I forgot fuckin' "Dark Star"! It has the best alien ever...
The giant ant movie? Well, they're not as terrifying as "Night of the Lepus"'s gigantic bunny rabbits. They kill you with cuteness...

2001 is one of those movies that had a genuine affect on how my life unfolded.

Westworld comes to mind (directed by Michael Crighton, starring Yull Brenner)
Then there's that really early George Lucas flick. THX something. Starring Donald Pleasanse
Maybe you'd also like some old Doctor Who episodes. I grew up with Tom Baker playing the Doctor (considered the best Doctor Who by most fans)
And there's also an old Flash Gordon movie, that faded into oblivion in Star Wars' shadow, same as Battle beyond the stars, which is a funny sci fi revamp of the seven samurai |
THX 1138, Lucas's best and first film. He's been downhill ever since. I hate it when the first thing an artist does is the best thing he ever does.
