It's strange... I love horror and sci-fi and have seen many films in these genre's, but barely any films are prominent in my head.

I guess I'll start with sci-fi - The Alien series, Metropolis, Star Wars series, Children of Men, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, A Scanner Darkly, Brazil, Back To The Future series, Equilibrium, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (it does have a sci-fi subtext)... not to mention countless cheesy sci-fi B-movies like Godzilla, Plan 9 From Outer Space, The Thing, etc...


As for horror, I haven't seen as much as sci-fi and I honestly cannot recall one that really stands out in my mind... but I do enjoy horror every now and then.

Edit: Actually, scratch that idea. One "horror" movie that I'm really fond of is Bad Taste... one of Peter Jackson's earliest films, long before he got popular with Lord of the Rings. It about an alien force that is taking over some backwater village in New Zealand to use humans as the.... well, I'm not going to spoil it, just go watch it yourself!

I think my favorites are the old 50's si-fi stuff, the best one, to me anyway was, The Day the Earth Stood Still, and the original movie The Thing.

Hmm. I am not too into horror movies.

 

[WildThing121675]

ANYTHING with zombies in it. ESPECIALLY by George A. Romero. WOW. I do love his stuff. Even that crappy 2004 Dawn of The Dead remake had it's moments.

I find zombies creepy. Head, dead. Shoot them in the head and they go down.

I tend to be like ballucanb I love the old SI-FI movies from the 50s. One of my all time favorites is the Tarantula. This had a cameo appearance of none other than a very young Clint Eastwood. He was a Fighter Pilot sent in to do battle with this over sized spider! I also liked It came From Outer Space too. They just don't make movies like this any more.

 

[WildThing121675]

My favorites;

The first original Star Wars films, did NOT care for the prequel films AT ALL.
Star Trek movies, I have them all!
The Day After
Testament
Dawn of the Dead, both of them
Diary of the Dead
Earth Vs The Flying Saucers
Starship Troopers, YES I like that movie
Stephen King's The Stand, which was actually a made-for-TV movie

That's my list. There are more, but I am tired, and I wanna watch the news.
