And, are there any SF films y'all SHOULD have seen, but haven't yet?

The Handmaid's Tale, anyone (it was awesome)?

Blood Of Heroes? A Boy & His Dog?

Fess up!

A Boy and his Dog is an acquired taste. Unfortunately, I hated it.

OF all the Sci-fi classics I've seen you list, or mention over the years I don't think you have ever shown love to Robinson Crusoe on Mars. An absolute classic. Please tell me you've seen it.

Hahahahahahaah! Boyeeee, I had no internet, no DVD, no VHS! And with the meager resources of the Cinema re-running old movies, late-night & Saturday afternoon TELEVISION, I was able to glean four decades worth of SF in its NEAR ENTIRETY!!!
LOL, if I had had even VHS rental as an assist, I could have cleaved through those 40 years of fantastical footage in HALF the time!

Times change, my friend, and with them, availability.

So if I was in my teens in the mid-seventies, and you were in your teens in the mid nineties, exactly HOW did you have LESS time to catch up on all the SF ever made with all the advanced help? I mean, if you weren't working... a kid & all, how did you NOT do what I could have gladly done?

And sure, we both had TV shows to watch. But TV started with a couple of channels of programming, and still was at what, less than a dozen when you were a kid? There were 50+ when I was a teen, and obviously lots since. Which also means more opportunity, but also a lot more content (since many of those extra channels produced their own).

Far more volume.

Actually, I usually can't watch DiCrapio "act" for more than two minutes without busting out laughing, but he was actually decent in Inception. Perhaps that's a tribute to Nolan's ability as a director.

I would highly recommend Moon to anyone as well.
I remember A Boy And His Dog being quite good but it was many many years ago when I saw it.

I can say that I've never seen Forbidden Planet or any version Journey To The Centre Of The Earth.
Come to think of it if you want to class it as (loosely) scifi I've never seen The Wizard Of Oz either. I saw a live stage version and I've seen the video of a stage version with Jewel and Joel Grey but I've never seen the classic movie.

And possibly my biggest non-watch may be Soylent Green. I really can't be sure about this one, I sometimes remember watching it late at night during my teens but I can't remember anything about it and I'm usually pretty good at knowing what I've watched.

Haven't seen the remake, but I'm pretty sure Keanu was Klaatu (the ridiculously-human alien) --the robot was called Gort.

Is she from the Blue or Red verse. Well, you know what they say - everyone has a twin walking around this crazy old world.

BTW I remember both the movie and the show. No self-respecting sci-fi geek would pass up the chance to see some truly bad sci-fi (actually I think there's a law compelling us to).

It's not uncanny, but it's an awfully close likeness. Bad sci-fi cheers me up on a rainy day.
