Subject: RE: BS: favorite old sci-fi movie
A question: Is 'Quatermass And The Pit' the same film with a different title as 'Five Million Years To Earth'? The plot sounds very much the same from what I read here.
Otherwise, some of my favorites are:
'Blade Runner' (director's cut)
'Dark City'
'Galaxy Quest'
'Contact'
'Minority Report'
'The Relic' (M.G.--You've GOT to see this. A creature is killing and running rampant in Chicago's FIELD MUSEUM. Great shots of the museum and the city and LSD before the S curve got straightened. Loosely based on some of Wade Davis's doings with S. American plants. ---Peter Hyams, the old Chicago TV news guy--directed.)
'The Arrival' (I enjoyed this one much more than the critics did. Lousy ending, but you can't have everything.)
'Starman'
'THX-1138'
'The Final Countdown' (made for TV--Big strange storm and time travel for U.S. aircraft carrier)
I would include A Mighty Wind ;-) but Martin G. might be upset.
