What titles do you find good?![]()
Moon is great, I watched it and forgot to put it on my list.
Awesome movie.
In some twisted way, ending of Moon kinda reminds me of AI Artificial Intelligence ... movie which I haven't properly digested although I don't think it is a bad movie.
You need to see The Road.Originally posted by Ba5tard5word:
Children of Men was great. One of the genuinely scariest movies I've ever seen, and it's not really a horror movie, just really portentious and heavy without being full of itself.
It's a great movie. It wasn't commercially successful, though. It's far too dark for most people. Don't go in expecting something on the order of Children of Men--that's basically a light-hearted comedy when compared to The Road.
I really didn't like Moon much, it had a few decent moments but everything it did has been done in other movies or TV shows and in some ways it felt rather rushed and low budget. Battlestar Galactica and Blade Runner come to mind as having similar themes and which were a lot more enjoyable for me. AI was just...awful.
I dunno if I could stand to watch The Road, truly scary movies can really get to me.
I'll try and come up with a list of good sci-fi movies later on...though apparently my home pc is dead (come help me in the community help section if you can!!!!!!!!) so I dunno if I can.
It's not so much "scary" as it is extremely dark.Originally posted by Ba5tard5word:

Although it does have one of the most legitimately disturbing scenes of any movie in recent history. And part of the reason it's so disturbing is because it's so understated.
I'd definitely check it out.

Probably the best movie I saw last year.
Aliens
Event Horizon
Nightmare on Elm Street (original version)
An America Werewolf in London (classical mix of horror and comedy)
The Last Starfighter (Arcade geek save the galaxy, what could rock more?)
Tron (again computer game reference did it for me)
Highlander (does fantasy count?)
Hellraiser (how could I possibly forget that gem of a horror)
