My Favorites....

 

#1 When Worlds Collide (I even have the book dated 1934, which included the story After Worlds Collide by Edwin Balmer and Philip Wylie)

 

#2 The Day the Earth Stood Still

 

#3 Forbidden Planet

 

GPs---

 

The Rocketeer

Galaxy Quest

Independence Day

Armageddon

 

I'm surprised no one's mention The Black Hole.

Though it has just a touch(very little) of Sci-Fi, I enjoy the movie Forever Young(maybe I'm a sucker for a B-25, or just a sap. LOL)

A "Classics Lover", all top-notch stuff Kevin! "The Black Hole" was decent, but as all Disney stuff of that era, a bit more for the "Youngsters", since I saw it as a kid anyways, it was a good time! :smiley17:

Some of the Matte paintings, with added animation, were quite awesome! This image is a great example of some of the outstanding FX work seen in that film! :smiley20:

A. 2001: A Space Odyssey

 

B. Blade Runner

 

C. Alien

My favorite quote? I've got two, "Have you heard of the old Klingon proverb that tells us that revenge's a dish best served cold." And, two - "Kahn, we tried it your way, ... are you game for a rematch?"

Oh no Bob, no offense to the Vets intended. She really insulted the heck out of those guys in the 60"s, I'm old enough to remember the incident you are referring to.

 

I just like posting a picture with each reply, makes it more fun for visitors that way.

 

God she was dumb then, Dumb...dumb..... :blink:

You didn't have to trash the picture; after all, she wasn't bad looking... In fact, I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers... but then, I'm used to crummy lovers...!

Anyone notice that this thread is by far and away the most viewed and replied to thread on the forum?

 

And another "GUILTY" pleasure that will raise some stink, but I don't care.

 

"Thunderbirds"

 

I just LOVE TB2!

 

Too bad it's always just been a cargo-rescue vehicle. No guns.

Great Stuff! I grew up watching that, and many other Brit SF shows, with the marionettes! Those models and Diorama's were awesome! Captain Scarlett was cool too, great vehicles! No guilt in those at all, as they were a modelers feast!!

 

I hadn't noticed it being that popular a topic, but if it is, I'm pleased it worked out so well, I just thought it would be a good time for all. :smiley14:
