My favorite film of all time is American Beauty. In what other film can the main character get shot in the head and make the audience smile at how wonderful his life turned out… and be genuine about it?

Space Buddies! Just kidding! I love the original Star Wars trilogy. It just cannot be beat. I saw 'em all as a kid and they are still good to this day! An excellent parody would be Galaxy Quest.

OCTOBER SKY is my favorite. I think that film captured that era well, and it was the beginning of the space race. Good acting, good music, and an excellent script!

STAR WARS!!! I saw these movies so many times when I was kid and it first came out. It was good vs. evil and back then, there was not anything done like this before. Darth Vader was The Man and I wanted to be Luke. Cool stuff and almost 30 years later, I still get chills when I hear the music. I got a room all decked out in Star Wars dolls, statues, posters and toys

It appears my previous comment was deleted so I'm going to repost it:

One of my favourite space movies of all time would probably have to be Galaxy Quest. I know there are some more awesome-er movies like Solaris and Blade Runner, but Galaxy Quest was almost the embodiment of all Sci-Fi fans culture and lifestyle. Like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, it was a parody movie that ended up becoming what it was parodying. What movie do you know gave potential red shirts actual character? What movie do you know had a smokin' hot woman who was nearing her 50's? What movie do you know made Alien sex hotter than it actually is? We aren't talking about just regular alien sex. Alien sex with tentacles– plural. Baby-like carnivorous aliens? Black guy running around crazy? Alan Rickman? This movie had it all. And sitting at ten years old, it still packs a punch against the rest.

well up until i recently it would be a different answer but i saw serenity two weeks ago and it i absolutley love the western style of it and not to mention the villain makes people kill them selves by paralysing them and letting them fall onto a sword if that isnt badass then i dont know what is.

Flash Gordon – Have you ever stuck your arm or any other appendage in a stump with a wood beast in it and lived? I think not.
Also how many other films had a Dale Arden and Princess Aura catfight http://tinyurl.com/nz79hs
Fun fact that I just made up: The first choice for Wayne’s World Bohemian Rhapsody scene was actually a combination of Flash’s Theme and Hero but was deemed to awesome for Wayne Campbell and Garth to pull off.

My favorite space movie is Danny Boyle’s Sunshine because not only is it awesome, I got my girlfriend at the time to see it with me by telling her it was about a little boy that collects flowers. Now that is think about it, that’s probably why she broke up with me.

Sunshine. I like to think that I was a huge follower of Boyle before his new found hardware, so I felt like I needed to see Sunshine. Somehow Boyle makes a far-out premise and decent actors into a beautiful movie with great permormances, science fact and science fiction. He integrates the real world perfectly into the film and uses both physical and psychological thrills to tell the story.

Other reasons it’s awesome:
– somehow Chris Evans gave a really good performance
– GREAT soundtrack (like when he’s floating between the ship & bomb toward the end)
– Cilian Murphy was annoying but it’s because the role sort of called for it
– brings to the forefront moral issues that even the audience can’t really decide on
– incredible special effects and space images
– fantastic Boyle-esque cinematography and editing
– it even pays homage to 2001 at the end

Boyle has now made a great zombie movie, sci-fi movie, emotional drama, a more kid-friendly movie (millions) as well as trainspotting (not so kid friendly, although babies do get to climb on ceilings). He’s incredible, why wouldn’t you pick his movie.

Oh yeah, and screw anyone on here who chooses a Star Wars movie (ANY of them)

Ridley Scott’s Alien – the original film. It was very well-written, didn’t rely on ridiculous, over-the-top action sequences, and contains some of the most shocking/memorable scenes ever to grace the screen. It’s a dark, slow burning, incredibly satisfying thriller of sorts (and it’s beautifully shot, to boot..) What more could I ask for?

I’ve found this so difficult that I’ve left my reply to the last minute. Chiefly, I think, due to the implicit resposibility in placing one artists work over anothers in a public forum.

For example, perhaps I’ll claim “Aliens” trumps “Flash Gordon,” and perhaps you or anyone else assumes I’m right. Having no idea that my sole basis for such a bold statement is a deep brooding hatred for director Mike Hodges, you’ve just wilfully robbed yourself of seeing Timothy Dalton in a whip-fight surrounded by Birdmen. All on account of my having been forced at a young age to watch “Morons from outer space” for a week while my family went to Disney World. Now I have to live with that, and you have to live with yourself.

It’s for this reason I’ve left my decision ultimately up to fact; my only deciding factor will be a gauge of which space movie has had the most drastic affect on human endeavor and inginuity. This, somewhat perdictably, leaves me with “Jason X”.

Few people outside DARPA seem to realize that this film has done for nanotechnology what “Predator” has for active camoflage. It’s one thing to entertain a populous, quite another to drag an already exhausted franchise several miles up, years ahead and over at least one shark in the process, but real achievement is having your art effectively spurn an entire branch of scientific research that probably would’ve come about anyways. Thanks to “Jason X” we can all look forward to a future of dismembering ourselves and loved ones without consequence, and despite what modern Hollywood would have us believe, that’s what moviemaking is all about.

Quite Possibly the greatest scifi film of all time would have to be “A Boy and His Dog”.

A quick synopsis for those of you who don’t know the movie:
The film starts off with President Kennedy surviving the assassination attempt and thus instead of focusing on the “space race” he focuses on increasing America’s nuclear technology. This intensifies the cold war turning into WWIII and tension/Fighting happened for about 25 years, in the future 2007 another nuclear war broke out WWIV. The story picks up following a survivor of the nuclear wars a small boy, and his dog, as they try to survive in the year 2025.

This is one of the most amazing films I have ever seen…
Just try to imagine being 18 and having to fight off mutants, and search for food, with only your dog as a companion.
How about the other movies, and games this movie has inspired.
It was said to inspire the movie “Mad Max”
The Game “Fallout 1, 2, and 3″
And a bunch more, It was turned into a graphic novel, and the book isn’t half bad either.

Look, All these new scifi movies are great, but lets kick it old school with a cult classic – A boy and his dog
in my opinion one of the greatest scifi.. shit one of the best films of all time!

Aliens.

Why?

Smartguns. Pulse Rifles. Xenomorphs. Ripley.

And saying Game Over Man, never gets old. Ever.

Plus when Boeing is basing a design on the Colonial Marines Dropship, you know that your movie is futuristic.

My favorite has to be “Leprechaun 4: In Space” for the simple reason that it is the worst movie that you could possibly make if you combined the plots of “Star Wars” and “Aliens”. Except, instead of bothering to come up with anything remotely scary, they said “let’s just get the dude from willow and call it a day”. Truly two hours of your time that will be well spent, provided that you a few friends to watch it with and LOTS of beer.

Without a doubt it would have to be Total Recall, the three boobed chick is the clincher

GALAXY QUEST — I hold this one up with Spaceballs, I think this is a great film. The cast is pretty kick ass, Tim Allen & Alan Rickman!! I mean come on, you have Alan doing the whole British snobby thing, which he does very well, and then throw in Tony Shalhoub (Had to google his last name, it's a tricky one) with his brown paper bag. And with Sigourney Weaver it just makes the whole thing, and there is such a great supporting cast. Overall this is one of those movies i put on to make me laugh, it does it every time, it's up there with CLUE and WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (not to be confused with the creepy Johnny Deep version). So ya there ya have it, hope this was somewhat entertaining.
