This fella has a very dry delivery style which can have you nodding off, plus he doesn't rewatch stuff, relies on memory and gets stuff wrong, but it's a list to get you chatting at any rate.

A few on my list. Slight spoiler alert.

The day the Earth caught fire.
Accidentally synchronised US & USSR Atom bomb posturing blasts the earth towards the sun whilst an alcoholic journalist briefly makes the Daily Express look like a proper paper.

The day the Earth stood still. (Original)
Classic Brit actor arrives with a Theremin and a scary robot before telling us to mend our ways. Klatu barada nicto!

War of the worlds (Original)
Great special effects for the time with Alien craft on strings frying US soldiers and equipment with a heat ray before catching man flu.

Village of the damned.
Freaky eyed clone kids in rural England mind bend local yokels into shooting themselves enroute to world domination.

Aliens.
Crack Marines bottle it on scary planet whilst little girl and surrogate mum kick alien ass.

Phase 4
Tipping boiling water on an ants nest doesn't work out too well for isolated retro scientists in a moon dome baking in the desert.

Forbin Project.
Colossus goes self aware and moody before self identifying as a supreme being and linking up with his mate behind the iron curtain.

Barbarella.
Gorgeous but dense bint goes on a 1960's astro jolly in leather clad lesbian land with angels and Duran Duran on hand to tickle her fancy..

Sleeper.
Years before the rampant rabbit we had the Orgasmatron, self driving Google pods and tin foil hats in this big brother style comedy gem from WA.

2001
Visual feast years ahead of it's time with another rouge computer not content to take orders from Dave when there is a huge black slab of granite nearby.

Contact
Hitler phones home from Vega and e-mails his next history channel Nazi Mega Weapon plans to a cash strapped scientist who goes on a one way trip to neverland.

Logans Run
It's all the fun of the fair on the 23rd century carousel for the over 50's..
It makes being swindled by gypsies in a cold wet field on unsafe contraptions very appealing.

Soylent Green.
The non vegan answer to a starving population and dwindling resources doesn't go down too well with our old NRA nut job Charlton Heston.

The Fly.
You'll need more than a PoundLand £1 bug zapper to deal with this experimental cock up..

The Terminator.
I can't be reasoned with or bargained with, so my list is the best in this thread.

Wall-E
Cartoon kitchen bin compactor toiles endlessly to deal with our crap while we wallow around Saturn being force fed lard by a corporate behemoth bent on controlling every aspect of our lives. Sound familiar?

Star Wars.
These aren't the films you are looking for.... Genre defining Scfi with bells, whistles, ion cannons and a wayward father neglecting his parental duties.

Excellent list, not even heard of some of them! But I've seen the vast majority.

Bloody loved The Last Starfighter as a kid.
I'd add
Dune
Fifth Element
And for a bit of Mel Brooks
Spaceballs
Same, but that's one film I'd advocate for a remake, or at least the George Lucas treatment for the effects. Great story though. Never really liked Spaceballs, thought it wasn't a patch on Mel's earlier stuff. But I really liked robot chicken and family guystar wars. biggrin

So I've been smashing through this HyperDrive fella's lists and I have come across some films that I've never even heard of. Bit of a find I think for fans of film, alongside OLiver Harper and Minty.
