Just to make this a not-so Anglo-American centric list, I'll suggest two absolute masterpieces by Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky:

Stalker
Solaris

And if you can manage to see La Jetee, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with the vastly inferior remake (12 Monkeys).

What? No Mad Max? I'd also submit Gattica, Stargate, and Predator.

Predator kicks a**, on any list

I just tried to watch the '84 Dune...got about five minutes in...wow is it truly horrendous. Dialogue is an absolute horror...can't watch any further.

Plan 9 from Outer Space
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Posted: **Thu Aug 20, 2009 10:46 pm**

haha...seen parts of both...ahh, always brings a smile to my face!

Posted: **Fri Aug 21, 2009 10:37 am**

Though I haven't watched it in a long time I've always liked Silent Running.

danlo mentioned Impostor which I seemed to enjoy more than it's big budget Philip K. Dick counterpart Minority Report.

Posted: **Sun Aug 23, 2009 5:24 am**

Never seen Impostor, though I liked MR.

I just forced myself to watch the rest of Dune ('84)...some of the acting is great and the artistic ends of the film-the sets and most of the costumes-were wonderful, the rest was horrendous. My favorite character/part would have to be Paul's sister...love the way they portrayed her!

Posted: **Sun Aug 23, 2009 5:30 am**

Dune 1984 is wonderful. However, I now prefer the miniseries.

Posted: **Tue Aug 25, 2009 7:38 pm**
