movies to watch while we wait

I would strongly suggest PLANET OF VAMPIRES (1965). Here is the plot: [i]In the near future the two spaceships Argos and Galliot are sent to investigate the mysterious planet Aura. As the Galliot lands on the planet her crew suddenly go berserk and attack each other. The strange event passes, but the crew soon discovers the crashed Argos - and learns that her crew died fighting each other! Investigating further, the explorers come to realize the existence of a race of bodiless aliens that seek to escape from their dying world[/i] Pretty interesting, yes? I would also suggest THE THING (1982), ISLAND OF DR MOREAU (the Brando-Kilmer version is fun to watch too), THEY LIVE!, 1492: CONQUEST OF PARADISE (remove the medieval setting, imagine alien planet & interplanetary travel).

Hey guys here is one that I was going to post but forgot about. Lifeforce Spaceship Vampire's and a naked hot chick.

Since we are talking horror now, you guys should check out an ultraviolent, sexually depraved and horrific tale by none other than the bard himself: [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120866/]Titus[/url] Mmmm meat pies!

i like your list rick proper old school movies, the Andromeda Strain is so tense it makes my butt pucker. also criagamore im really looking forward to the thing prequel can't wait for that. if my memory serves me correct there was a japanese animated film called *Memories* telling three different tales and one being about a haunting caused by a hollowgram on an abandoned space ship or something like that. storyline follows http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memories_(film)

Dont forget quatermass and the pit........ synopsis,,,,,,,,,,Quatermass and the Pit (US title: Five Million Years to Earth) is a 1967 British science fiction horror film. Made by Hammer Film Productions it is a sequel to the earlier Hammer films The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) and Quatermass 2 (1957) . Like its predecessors it is based on a BBC Television serial – Quatermass and the Pit – written by Nigel Kneale. It was directed by Roy Ward Baker and stars Andrew Keir in the title role as the eponymous professor, replacing Brian Donlevy who played the role in the two earlier films. James Donald, Barbara Shelley and Julian Glover appear in co-starring roles. The plot, which is largely faithful to the original television production, centres around the discovery of a mysterious object buried in the ground at the site of an extension to the London Underground. Also uncovered nearby are the remains of early human ancestors more than five million years old. Realising that the object is in fact an ancient Martian spacecraft, Quatermass deduces that the aliens have influenced human evolution and the development of human intelligence. The spacecraft has an intelligence of its own and once uncovered begins to exert a malign influence, resurrecting Martian memories and instincts buried deep within the human psyche. Mayhem breaks out on the streets of London as the alien force grows in strength. It is only defeated when a metal object – a building crane – is swung into the centre of the force and the energy is discharged. Nigel Kneale wrote the first draft of the screenplay in 1961 but difficulties in attracting interest from American co-financiers meant the film did not go into production until 1967. The director, Roy Ward Baker, was chosen on account of his experience with technically demanding productions such as A Night to Remember. This would be the first of many films he directed for Hammer. Andrew Keir, playing Quatermass, found making the film an unhappy experience, believing Baker had wanted Kenneth More to play the role. Due to lack of space the film was shot at the MGM studios in Elstree, Borehamwood rather than Hammer's usual home at the time which was the Associated British Studios, also in Elstree. The film opened in November 1967 to favourable reviews and remains generally well regarded. Hammer announced they would make a fourth Quatermass film but nothing ultimately came of this. A new serial adventure – titled simply Quatermass – was eventually made in 1979 by ITV television in 1979 and (in re-edited form) received a limited cinema release under the title The Quatermass Conclusion.

[img]http://www.trondheim-filmklubb.no/film/tfk/v99/bilder/ManWhoFellToEarth.jpg[/img] Thomas Jerome Newton (Bowie) is a humanoid alien who comes to Earth from a distant planet on a mission to bring water back to his home planet,[3] Anthea, which is experiencing a catastrophic drought.[4] Newton uses the advanced technology of his home planet to patent many inventions on Earth, and acquires incredible wealth as the head of a technology-based conglomerate, World Enterprises Corporation, aided by leading patent attorney Oliver V. Farnsworth (Buck Henry). His wealth is needed to construct his own space vehicle with the intention of shipping water back to his planet. While revisiting New Mexico, he meets Mary-Lou (Clark), a lonely, unloved, and simple girl who works as a maid, bell-hop, and elevator operator in a small hotel; he tells her he is English. Mary-Lou introduces Newton to many customs of Earth, including church-going, alcohol, and sex. Newton and she live together, eventually in a house Newton has had built near where he initially landed in New Mexico. Meanwhile Dr. Nathan Bryce (Torn), a former womanizer and college professor, has landed a job as a fuel technician with World Enterprises and slowly becomes Newton's confidante. Bryce senses Newton's alien-ness and arranges a meeting with Newton at his home where he's hidden a special X-ray camera. When he steals a picture of Newton with the camera, it reveals Newton's alien physiology. Newton's appetite for alcohol and television (he watches multiple televisions at once) become crippling and the two fight. Realizing that Bryce has learnt his secret, Newton reveals his alien form to Mary-Lou, and her resulting reaction is one of pure shock and horror. He leaves her. Newton completes the spaceship and attempts to take it on its maiden voyage amid intense press exposure. However, just before his scheduled take-off, he is seized and detained, apparently by the government and a rival company; his business partner, Farnsworth, is murdered. The government, which has apparently been told by Bryce that Newton is an alien, holds him captive in a locked luxury apartment, constructed deep within a hotel. During his stay, they keep him sedated with alcohol (to which he has become addicted) and continuously subject him to rigorous medical tests — notably one involving X-rays which causes the contact lenses he wears as part of his human disguise to permanently affix themselves to his eyes. Toward the end of his years of captivity, he is visited again by Mary-Lou, who is now much older and whose looks have been ravaged by alcohol and time. They have violent sex and occupy their time drinking and playing table tennis, but finally each declares they no longer love the other. She leaves him. Eventually Newton discovers that his "prison," now derelict, is unlocked, and he escapes. Throughout the film are brief sequences of his wife and children back on his home planet, slowly dying, and by the end of the film they are dead and Newton is stuck on Earth, broken, alcoholic, and alone. He creates a recording with alien messages, which he hopes will be broadcast via radio to his home planet. Bryce, who has since married Mary-Lou, buys a copy of the album and meets Newton at an outside restaurant in town. Newton is still rich and young looking despite the passage of many years. However, Newton has also fallen into depression and alcoholism and the film ends with an inebriated Newton passing out in his cafe chair. The film is based on the 1963 novel of the same name by Walter Tevis, about an extraterrestrial who crash lands on Earth seeking a way to ship water to his planet, which is suffering from a severe drought.[1] The film maintains a strong cult following for its use of surreal imagery and its performances by David Bowie (in his first starring film role), Candy Clark, and Hollywood veteran Rip Torn.[2] The same novel was later remade as a less-successful 1987 television adaptation. The film was produced by Michael Deeley and Barry Spikings, who reunited two years later for work on another epic, The Deer Hunter.

enemy mine was ok to

barbarella great fun if your ratarsed lol

I'll throw some Japanese sci-fi into the mix. Mostly anime, mostly series, mostly awesome, not all with aliens. Watch 'em in Japanese! Akira Black Heaven (underappreciated as sci-fi, in my opinion) Casshern Cowboy Bebop Evangelion Ghost in the Shell Iria: Zeiram the Animation Serial Experiments: Lain

tetsuo , love casshern like bladerunner with strictly asians lol

Xtro...... loved this when it came out really weird film. A family of three live in rural Britain. Sam Phillips (Philip Sayer), his wife Rachel (Bernice Stegers) and their young son Tony (Simon Nash). One evening when Rachel is out a mysterious light appears in the night sky and Sam disappears. People believe he has just run out on the family. Only Tony knows what really happened but no one believes him. Three years after the disappearance of Sam, Tony still pines for his father. His mother Rachel has taken up with another man, photographer Joe Daniels (Danny Brainin). The fractured household also includes a sexy French babysitter Analise (Maryam d'Abo). They live in a small apartment in the city. An alien crashes to earth and approaches the farm where the Phillips had previously lived in. The cottage is now inhabited by a woman (Susie Silvey). The alien attacks her and covers her mouth with an appendage and pumps something into her. In the morning she wakes and the alien is dead. As she goes into the kitchen she suddenly feels sick. Her stomach swells and she dies as she gives birth to a fully grown man – Sam. Sam makes his way to the city – somehow able to find where his son now lives. He reintroduces himself to the family and despite the obvious tension with Joe is allowed to stay. Tony catches his father eating his pet snake's eggs and runs away. Sam catches up with him and tells him that the aliens changed him. He puts his mouth to his son's neck and injects chemicals into him. He wishes to change his son so he can take him back with him. Tony finds he can make his wishes reality. His toy clown becomes a dwarf. His toy soldier becomes a life-sized plastic soldier who kills a neighbour with its bayonet. Analise has a male visitor Michael (David Cardy) alone in her room. They are disturbed as Tony demands that she play with him. His toy clown knocks her out and he presses his mouth to her side and injects chemicals into her. Meanwhile, a toy tank chases Michael around the apartment shooting live ammunition. Analise is transformed. She is in a cocoon in the bathroom with green rubbery eggs coming out the bottom of the cocoon into the bath. The clown collects these eggs. Tony and his father return to the cottage, pursued by Rachel. A bright light from the sky shines on them and Rachel sees Sam and Tony transformed into alien beings. The two aliens disappear into the night sky. Rachel returns to the apartment and finds the fridge on its side. She opens the fridge door. The fridge is filled with a green semi-liquid substance. In it are several rubbery eggs. She picks an egg up. It seems to move. Suddenly an appendage bursts out covering her mouth. She falls to the floor with the egg pumping something into her mouth. The camera rolls back and the door closes on them. Xtro was briefly vilified as a video nasty, especially due to a particularly graphic scene early in film wherein a woman gives birth to a fully grown man. However, it was granted an uncut video certificate by the BBFC shortly after its successful cinema run. The film was released on DVD three times in the United States by Image Entertainment.[2] The first DVD of the film was released in 2005 as a double feature with sequel Xtro II: The Second Encounter. The second DVD was released in 2006 as a standalone release. The third DVD was released in 2007 and was a triple feature alongside Xtro II: The Second Encounter and Skeeter. In Britain the entire Xtro trilogy was released in box-set, remastered anamorphic widescreen with 5.1 for Xtro II and an interview with director Harry Bromley Davenport covering the production of all three films.
