i thought it would be fun to list other movies about aliens to pass the time waiting for PROMETHEUS. one of my faves is VIRUS = When the crew of an American tugboat boards an abandoned Russian research vessel, the alien life form aboard regards them as a virus which must be destroyed.

contemporary sci-fi favorites is difficult for me to list, since there aren't any really that come close to my top 5: THX 1138 (Directors cut) ALIEN BLADE RUNNER THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND but i can think of: Contact The Abyss Cloverfield TRON: Legacy Star Wars: Attack of The Clones other than that, (sadly) my list has run dry

How about logans run, 2001, and 2010 both very well done....tru sci fi, classic star trek and the JJ abrams stuff, very good! but Alien , never runs dry....saturn 3 with kirk douglas, B movie, but had some good creepy scenes, or the ultimate B sci fi, laser blast (for those who remember,:)...many came and gone/// its the ones you can talk about 30 years latter that still excite....BRING ON ,..............PROMETHEUS..................

Agree with The Thing '82....a classic. Added are Westworld 2001 S.O. Moon (2010) Capricorn One Omega Man or I am legend (2009) Plus all of shardy's top 5 I would list as same THX 1138 (Directors cut) also much better presented in the Directors Cut. ALIEN BLADE RUNNER THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND

'Dreamcatcher'? Seeing as this is not just a sci-fi picture we're waiting for, a horror film as well...I list the following....................... 'Alien' - many....MANY times 'Bladerunner' 'Eyes Without A Face'........seriously, Horror fans, you must check this out! 'Rosemary's Baby' a whole cavalcade of episodes of 'The X-Files' 'Psycho' 'La Jetee' 'Signs' 'The Thing From Another World' John Carpenter's 'The Thing' 'The Thing'...prequel to John Carpenter's. 'Halloween' 'Fire In The Sky' 'Cloverfield' 'Super 8' 'Diabolique'....awesome 'Vincent'....Tim Burton's directorial debut...in claymation. 'Firefly'...the entire series. 'Nosferatu'....the silent film. 'Metropolis'.....also silent. 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' 'First Spaceship On Venus'.....wonderfully interesting, awful and hilarious all at once....,concerning a crew of scientists visiting an unexplored world, Venus, that contains the remnants of an alien civilization......sound familiar......engineers involved in an industrial project to irrigate the Gobi Desert accidentally unearth a mysterious and apparently artificial "spool." When found to be made of a material unknown on Earth, the spool is circumstantially linked to the Tunguska explosion of 1908. The "spool" is seized on as evidence that the explosion, originally blamed on a meteor, was actually caused by a spaceship. Professor Harringway deduces the alien craft must have come from Venus. The spool itself is determined to be a flight recorder, and partially decoded by an international team of scientists led by Professor Sikarna and Dr. Tchen Yu. When radio greetings sent to Venus go unanswered, Harringway announces that a journey to Venus is Earth's only alternative. The recently-completed Cosmostrator I spaceship, intended to voyage to Mars, is redirected to Venus, a 21 day trip. During the voyage, Sikarna works furiously to translate the alien message on the disc using the ship's computer."................interestingly familiar.....isn't it?

Brazil Serenity Forbidden Planet Children of Men Event Horizon Primer Have to stop myself there or this will be just one ridiculous list, I recommend Brazil for anyone who feels like a laugh- Robert De Niro's only sci-fi!!
