    Another vote for Dark Star as possibly the best b-movie ever.

    Wasn't it John Carpenter's first outing? I seem to remember that it was made for $60k, but despite the Alien pet that was spray-painted inflatable beach ball with claws, it was hugely entertaining and a cult classic. Script was very funny.

    I also remember Carpenter's 'The Thing' as being a very enjoyable Sci-Fi/Horror romp..

    Blade Runner Director's Edition is also right up there IMHO.

    Dune was a surprisingly good interpretation, provided that you had read the book beforehand - you would be completely lost otherwise!.

    Alien and Aliens are two of the most influental movies of all times. Done already in the 70s and 80s and they still keep the standard of today's movies. But with the whole ambience, music, story and sci fi art makes them one of the best movies of all times. Looking forward for Ridley Scott new movie which is currently in the post production and will be released next year... Prometheus.

    Ridley Scott can do no wrong.

    Alien and Blade Runner - if he had made nothing else, he would be a legend. But then he made Gladiator among others. Amazing.

    Dark City is a mean and moody sci-fi thriller but for some reason it didn't do that well at the box office. Directed by Alex Proyas and starring Rufus Sewell, Kiefer Sutherland and Jennifer Connelly, it is a very classy movie...

    Agreed, it's a good looking film. Jennifer Connelly seems to do well in these moody pieces - did you see her in Dark Water or Requiem for a Dream?

    I enjoyed this as well. First time I'd seen Rufus Sewell in anything.

    I'm going to throw in Close Encounters of the Third Kind as one which is still a great watch.

    Oh and under-rated choice - Silent Running from 1972

    Big moog is the first to talk sense.
