Dune (1984) [HD DVD]

Even more than most of David Lynch's deliberately bizarre and idiosyncratic movies, Dune is a "love-it-or-hate-it" affair. An ambitious, epic, utterly mind-boggling--and, let's admit it, all-out weird--adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic science fiction novel, Dune remains one of the most controversial films in the director's exceedingly provocative career. The story (if Dune can be said to have just one story) is complex and convoluted in the epic tradition; it has something to do with politi...1 point

Alien (The Director's Cut)

The terror begins when the crew of a spaceship investigates a transmission from a desolate planet, and discovers a life form that is perfectly evolved to annihilate mankind. One by one, each crew member is slain until only Ripley is left, leading to an explosive conclusion that sets the stage for its stunning sequel, "Aliens."1 point

But soon the evidence is overwhelming--Santa Mira has been invaded by alien "pods" that are capable of replicating humans and taking possession of their identities. It's up to McCarthy to spread the word of warning, battling the alien invasion at the risk of his own life. Considered one of the best sc...0 points

The Lawnmower Man (New Line Platinum Series)

In 1992, 'The Lawnmower Man' was hailed as a CGI (computer-generated image) breakthrough. It's fascinating to consider it in a historical context, knowing it came just a year after Terminator 2: Judgment Day and was followed by Jurassic Park a year later. Written and directed by Brett Leonard, The Lawnmower Man focuses on a scientist (Pierce Brosnan) trying to utilize technology for governmental gain. As with all top-secret government projects in the movies, it goes horribly wrong. Forced to pro...0 points

It's all safe: the park's lifelike androids are programmed never to harm the customers. But not all droids are getting with the program. Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park Twister) wrote and made his directing debut with this futuristic thriller that heralded moviemaking's future as the first feature to use digitized image...0 points

Reader Feedback

I'd love to hear which Sci-Fi movies you like - I'm always looking out for something new, as I seem to be constantly struggling to find good Science Fiction to watch.

I see that Eragon is on your list of movies to see. It is horrible beyond words. BEYOND WORDS.

How do I add Barbarella to your list? Killer Clowns from Outer Space is worth listing as it is classic B-movie sci-fi.

I'd also like to add Ghost in the Shell.

Enjoy your lens!
