Haven't you seen the documentary called Iron Sky?

There's going to be a nuclear accident that blows the Moon out of orbit with the Earth. We have to get that Moon Base up and running before that happens!

Otherwise we won't get the Eagle spaceships. And I want an Eagle spaceship.

You're obviously not Gen-X yourself because if you were you'd know that the name the person I was responding to was the name of a main character from the 80's show Dukes of Hazzard , and the song lyrics posted are from the theme song to that show, which I posted merely as an acknowledgement of the OP's name. Do try to keep up, AC.

Zardoz, I never understood that movie.

Far future. A society has solved death. People can live forever and get remade if they come to a violent end. They can't even commit suicide. This has a variety of social effects and the movie is really just an excuse to show them off. There's ALSO the uncivilized primitive people. Kinda like in the Time Machine, where you have the Eloi and the Murlochs? These are the have-nots that are treated like animals.

Anyway, someone in the high society gets cynical or something and wants to tear it all down. He/she/they/Iforget make one of the barbarians smarter than the average cookie with the intent that he'll come and tear down the high society. Oh, and they were supplying his group with weapons and training/compelling them to go exterminate the other riff-raff. So yeah, this guy comes into high-society, who react in different ways. A lot like Brave New World in that aspect. He eventually gets his bros inside, and they kill everyone because that's what they're trained to do. ...at least that's what I remembered. But holy shit, WTF is going on!? The 70's were a special time. Alright. Never mind. I never understood that movie.

I saw it four times in the movie theater and it was the first DVD I ever bought. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt01...

Like Moon, Gattaca lets the story be about the characters and not the science and is better for it.

Starman another Carpenter movie; super sickly but a nice storyline, beautiful score and Karen Allen's finest work (ok, I mean she's a girl-next-door-hottie).

Also The Man Who Fell to Earth because Bowie, of course, but also the idea that alien visitors might be fragile and vulnerable rather than powerful and destructive.

While my favorite would be Brazil, I found Coherence to be very effective in its minimalistic setting. From the IMDB summary: "Strange things begin to happen when a group of friends gather for a dinner party on an evening when a comet is passing overhead."

'The Similars' currently on Netflix. It's like a 90 minute Twilight Zone episode. It has a 95% rating by critics on Rotten Tomato. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt39...

On the other hand, it has 51k votes with the rating '10'... So people are trying to counteract the flood of ratings.

I don't think either side of the equation is right. If one is dumped, both should be.

Children of Men (2006) It is about civilization collapsing, after 18 years of global human infertility. No spaceships, no aliens, no CGI; just a great story and amazing performances.

I wouldn't exactly call this movie science fiction, but more of a gritty christmas/nativity story. Just because a movie is dystopian, doesn't make it SciFi. The magical baby is almost a MacGuffin in a homeric quest and the movie doesn't really explore the collapse of civilization w/o children at any deeper level than a Mad Max movie...

Still a well executed movie, but not really SciFi (however, the book was a bit more sci-fi)...

A thought provoking and well done trump through a serious possibility. Adding it to the list here as I find favor with nearly all the suggestions but found this one mysteriously missing.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt03...

The Martian is a remake of this: Robinson Crusoe on Mars which is a great movie, although it's no Forbidden Planet.

30 is too young to die. You're just barely done developing mentally by 30. The vast majority of people don't even get their acts together by 40, let alone 30. I'm past that point and I'm just at the point where I've got a number of things figured out and have developed the internal discipline to make them work.

So there is a breakdown of the vote, and it's quite amusing. Looks like they could just skim off the 1's and 10's and get a decent picture of the actual score.

It's as good as 'Alien.' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00...

Slashdotted!

and its rating, subsequently, improved, just to show the turks there is another side to every coin.
I remember slashdot bringing whole sites down within minutes of links being posted. So here goes...

The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

The other one that sticks in my memory from when I was a kid was Brainstorm.

Also agree. This movie is special to me for two reasons. Firstly, I love stories about the rights and feelings of intelligent robots. Secondly, I first saw Bladerunner after it was released on video, and wished that I could have seen it on the big screen. Years later it was re-released into theatres and I got my wish!

I'm pretty damned stoked about the upcoming sequel!

There was a fairly faithful adaptation of Heinlein's "All You Zombies", which is entirely consistent, though not entirely plausible.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt23...

"Timecrimes" was reasonably consistent as well.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt04...

(IMHO neither movie was as good as "Primer".)

Um, where were you in 2012?

But many of Cronenberg's flics have sci-fi elements. Also, They Live is a underrated gem, though, if only for Rowdy Roddy Piper's surprising acting skills. But then, what do you expect from a professional wrestler.

The Man in the White Suit meets all the criteria for science fiction, and it stars Alec Guinness and Joan Greenwood!

I saw a documentary about that.

Then again, I'm 58 and have yet to run into a vaper over 30. Don't trust anyone under 30 someone famous almost said 40 years ago.

I'm pushing 70, and you got that backwards. In the 60's we were saying "never trust anyone over 30", not under.
I had to look it up because I don't remember from then either. Something in the air, I think ...

There's a documentary from then: (Wild in the Streets) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00...

Moreover, if I can't buy it, who am I harming by making an illicit copy? The complaint about piracy is that it results in reduced sales. If they're already zero, and projected to be zero forever, I can't possibly reduce its sales. Not by piracy, not by giving it a bad review, not by threatening to shoot anyone who buys a copy.

Yes, but if we're talking about Doom, you should still be doing all of those things, just to be on the safe side.

Dark Matter does exist and has been photographed (well actually video taped). It has been broadcast on SyFy and Space (Canadian SciFi channel).

Oh, not that Dark Matter. :-)

So that's where Carmageddon (1997) comes from. They've just made a sequel.

I've seen the other version of Death race (2008) which also has a sequel.
