OT - Best Sci Fi Movie

[s-man]

I can't believe no one has mentioned "Starship Troopers" or "Robocop" or "Total Recall" yet! Paul Verhoeven is a terrific Sci-Fi guy... minus "Hollow Man," of course.

 

 

Man who can forget the three boob girlie in Total Recall!!

 

Makes me wish I had three hands!

 

 

or three !

There's so many more I could list such as the old AIP Films I used to watch on Chiller Theatre out of New York in the 60's !!!! Wonderful Memories!!!

Great Thread!!!!

 

Channel 13 out of Rockford, IL had a similar thing on weekends. I remember seeing all of the Creature from the Black Lagoon movies (why I really like this issue:

) and a host of other grade B, C, D, Z movies.

 

Thanks,

Are you from Rockford? My girlfriend is from Rockford (Guilford H.S. 88 grad) and her parents still live there.

In Boston in the 50's and early 60's I used to watch Creature Feature, Creature Double Feature and Phantasmic Features, which was hosted by this aluminum foil puppet with an echo-voice named Feep. Feep used to start them off with his "Hello there-ere-ere-ere-ere. This is Feep-eep-eep-eep-eep."

 

Lots of the 50's stuff was shown - my most memorable being ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS (which starred, amoung others, the Pofessor from Gilligan's Island - Russell Johnson )

Robocop was OK at the time......I see it now though and I cringe.

These crackers are making me thirsty.

Hrmm...

 

On the Verhooven movies.

 

Robo Cop..

I agree . ok at the time. but if he was all metal everywhere, why leave his jaw exposed?.. just asking for a bullet to slice it open for him.

 

Starship troopers was a hoot.

What was the line.. "The only good bug, is a dead bug."

The social stuff was not bad actually

The whole part of the movie where they watched the TV/Internet.

And the ladies voice would ask

"Would you like to know more?"

But all in all it was a super silly space opera gore fest..with Doogie Howser as the brain man..

I loved it.

 

 

Total Recall.. saw this the day it came out, loved it, but now I watch it and cant help but poke it full of holes.

 

How Arnuhld.. pulled out the HUGE round transmitter out of his nose, and it didnt tear his nose to shreads.

I cant help but laugh now when "quatroo" tell Arnold to " Open your mind.. OOpppeeennn yourrrrr Miiiiihhhhhnnnnnddddd"

How there is a total lack of govornment presence on Mars.

 

How Mars atmosphere created enough air for them to breath in 3 minutes..

 

Oh yeah....

 

Oh well I know its a movie..

And Pov was it a recall dreamm? do tell.

 

And then I might believe they left Quaid on Earth instead of just killing him.
