I forgot about "Event Horizon" as well. Top 20 for me.
I never did get to see the Blade Runner sequel. Maybe someone can give me an opinion on it.
But let's face it: when the original has Daryl Hannah doing gymnastics , screeching and cartwheeling onto your shoulders before twisting your head off, how much better can it get?
I also forgot about Deep Impact ... one of my favorite cheesy disaster movies
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
Heavy Metal was great. Was an avid reader of the magazine when younger when it first came out. Great artwork! Loved it.
The movie is fine stuff as well. But the soundtrack blew me away. Not wall to wall great, but the title song and Veterans of the Psychic Wars (?) for its lyrics really grabbed me.
Thanks for kicking that memory cell for me!

Also, I loved the movie The Martian .... that's a great concept/movie
SPOILER ALERT!
The Martian, what a concept to make a good movie, and I wonder why they didn't make a good one.
Click to reveal..
NOTHING HAPPENED!
Sorry, Spoiler alert, but watching that movie I kept waiting for one thing to go wrong and it didn't up until the end credits.
It would be like "ghostbusters" where the ghosts all just hop right in to the ghost catching devices.
It would be like Superman 3 where Zod, and his two buddies don't fight superman, rather they just give up and help humanity.
It would be like a Batman cartoon where the villains are turning themselves in to authorities.
The only two exceptions in " The Martian" were the fact that he gets left there, which you knew going in,
and the part where two groups argue over how to bring him back. THAT'S IT! Everything else goes Perfect! I face more adversity navigating traffic.
I didn't pay to watch "that" I paid to watch a movie, I walked out saying I spent two hours waiting for that movie to "start" .
It's Man vs the harsh nature of the Mars environment, and the "harsh nature of the mars environment" forfeited the game. Lonliness and boredom were His biggest obstacle, and boredom fit for me watching it too. They seriously wasted a good opportunity to make a halfway decent movie.
The guy is going to face a one in a million shot to hook up to the thing at the end and does it the very first time?

You mean all that time alone, with nothing but horrible disco music to keep you company, isn't enough adversity for you?
IMDB classifies it as both lol. Most categorize it as Sci Fi, as do I, but... not sure you could technically say someone is wrong deeming it as a horror. Pretty cutting edge for 1979 when it dropped, in any case.
I think a creature that can impregnate people with its offspring through their mouth with a protruding organ that comes out of it's mouth, and that has acid for blood, makes it sci-fi.

Yes, I'm sure that would be very unpleasant. I know we all have to die, but I would just as soon it not be from some extra-terrestrial lizard bursting out of my sternum. That's gonna hurt. Anyway, I think the horror is a given, but its a by-product of a creature here-to-fore unimagined.
Sci-fi was not the premise of the movie, it was just the setting whereby the story unfolded. Horror was the intent and therefore the genre of the movie. As I see it, that is.
I guess what I think is that sci-fi and horror aren't mutually exclusive. The original "Frankenstein" with Boris Karloff was both horror and sci-fi, imo. I mean, look at that lab Dr Frankenstein had. It was sci-fi because he reanimated a corpse, but it was horror because his creation was a hideous and violent monster. In "Alien", there was also a hideous and violent monster, but it was an extra-terrestrial in an outer space setting. I don't think we actually disagree about this - Frankenstein and Alien are both horror films and they're both sci-fi films.

The beauty of this film is it still works perfectly today. Maybe that is because HR Giger's creature is so incredible and Ridley Scott did a phenomenal job directing.
Tremors,there were 3 of them. A really good movie,more comedy than sci-fi. Kevin Bacon.Fred Ward,The father from Micheal Fox's sitcom and Reba.
After watching that movie my son was awakened every mourning with me shaking his bed and shouting "stampede"
Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell is the sixth film in the Tremors movie franchise. Not bad for a series that started in 1990. Michael Gross, who plays graboid hunter Burt Gummer, spoke with Bloody Disgusting about the new Tremors and revealed a seventh film is already in development.
Starship troopers - cracks me up every time Jurassic park - ermember being incredibly moved watching it in the theater Mars attacks - again...need a good laugh... can't go wrong Fifth element - sexy red head who can kick ass and save the universe... Stargate - really liked the movie... didn't like the tv show Short circuit - thought it was a sweet/funny movie Batteries not included - also sweet movie..
