@want-to-see-prometheusNOW! - Yea, That J.J. Abrahms is some kinda great new movie maker.
@Membrane Me too, a lot, that guy did a great job on that thing and the ending of that film was spectacular for it's time. Kirk Douglas and Amy Irving and Cassavettes were all fantastic in it, as was the rest of that all start cast like Charles Durning, and even Darryl Hannah had a bit part in it.

Spartacus, since you like the Ontological scene in 2001, this is for you (start around 4:40) - Piece Process - [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wM1pRTAqfGQ]My Mind Is Going[/url]
That song samples 2001, while others were written specifically because of a great sci-fi movie, like these...
Covenant - [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybDtI_Yawog]The Replicant[/url]
Front Line Assembly - [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s79Ikllmjy8]Replicant[/url]

Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

I think it was you that mentioned The Thing first.
I was a big fat John Carpenter fan growing up and all of his films had something, even if just a small thing, that was groundbreaking.
His vision for the Thing IMO made it one of the Top 3 Science Fiction Films overall, ever made. The theater experience ONLY enhanced what was already a near perfect modern science fiction horror film. and it paid due homage to the original as well.
Great Choice!

@ Spartacus re: The Fury - Everyone remembers the head exploding scene in Scanners, but I think that ending in Fury was the original, and way more intense...

I cannot express How much I love that movie "HybridVigor", so much so I made my father, Mother, and Brother see it with me and They actually all loved it too, it was a "funky way cool flick" back in the day...I think it still is today and the telekinesis scenes in particular I loved the best.

That film "OUTLAND" with Sean Connery had a whole "BladeRunner" feel to it and came out before "BladeRunner" did it not?

So so many for me, its hard to tell.
I am someone who does not have favorites in anything really, i never had one stand out favorite Wrestler, never had one stand out Movie/TV Babe i had a crush on etc.
off course Aliens Franchise is there, but so too is Terminator and in both some of the movies are not as good as the others... i.e Alien/Aliens Rocked, Terminator and Terminator 2 also. I feel the Aliens that followed where more of a disapointment than the Terminators that followed.
For me Star Wars has to be up there, maybe at the top but again while SW 4-6 was great 1-3 had some good and some not so good parts.
But i guess thats what happens when you make a sequel or even prequel, it has a hard task living upto the Orginal....
Even Reboots dont quite work either, Star Trek and Nightmare on Elm Street just again could not live upto the orginals.
There are many other movies i liked to many to list really, but include The Thing, i also liked the Black Hole and many many others, inc Flash Gordon i could go on and on.
But yes i guess that Predator, Star Wars, Alien/Aliens and Terminator have to rank really high in any list i could make.

I agree wholeheartedly Sparticus.
I can't believe no one has mentian Flash Gordon and the Brian Bleesed line "GORDONS ALIVE".

Flash Gordon, now that's a classic...
and it sure is Hard to argue with that entire T-2 film {extended ultimate nothing more could possibly be revealed edition}as the subject.
April 13, 2012
@Spartacus,
That metal-clad T2 ultimate extremo edition is totally sweet.

Just because I don't think I've seen any listed on this thread yet, here's some anime.

Black Heaven - Middle-aged family man and former guitarist in the heavy metal band Black Heaven is recruited by a space army to use his guitar-shredding skillz to active an enormous weapon used to fight interstellar aliens.

Serial Experiments Lain - Shy technophobe high-schooler gets her first NAVI (handheld computer) and accesses "the Wired" (the internet) for the first time. Subsequently learns the true nature of herself. Cyberpunk, trippy, psychedelic, weird, awesome. Full of WTH-ery and head-exploding qualities in general.
