So, if you were stuck on a desert island and could only take one classic sci-fi film with you on DVD and a DVD player (with TV of coruse!), what would you take?!

I think for me it would be War of The Worlds!

I think it would have to be John Carpenter's 1982 version of The Thing. Very chilling

Am I allowed Terminator, the first one of course. Superb film, if you think about it too long you mind goes into a spin.....

I find it very difficult to name just one, I could do with ten! But those are the rules

Shadow - Terminator - excellent! That's a classic now, it was made in 1984 too.

Eckie - that's why it's hard, just one!

lost boys,

without a doubt!

I know its kinda horror, in a mild sense of the word horror, does it count as sci-fi? and do I have to choose again?

I still have a soft spot for ET Not only did I enjoy it but it brings back memories from when my kids were younger

Lost boys yet another good one, good sound track too.

There's a advert on the telly I can't remember what its selling but its the same music that is played when the kids in the bath right before the dog saves him from his brother. When this ad comes on I can only think lost boys, they really need to change the music as they won't sell anything

Ahhh yes, and the music/soundtrack - first class!

I don't know how many times I've seen Lost Boys. My kids LOVED it and watched it over and over. They knew the dialogue backwards! Must admit I did enjoy it....the first three times

Scully

Have the soundtrack to Lost Boys .... one movie don't know. probably Aliens l guess....

It would be a 'toss-up' between 'War of the Worlds' or 'Aliens'

'Fraid I have a bit of a 'soft spot' for 50's Sci-fi films

How about The Blob Vanner, superb film?

Can anyone remember the film where they eat brains, was it the living dead, because that was another good one. I thought it was hillarious when I saw it as a youngster.

Yeah, 'The Blob', 'The Thing', The Day the Earth Stood Still, all of them really.

'George Romeo' made a shed full of Zombie films, depends how long ago it was
when you where a youngster !!

'Return of the Living Dead' was one of the funniest though !!

Return of the living dead, thank you that was the kiddie.

Vanner you should know a lady never divulges her age.....

Now i'm really confused !!

Like I'm really gonna admit when I was a youngster , was what I was getting!

It was the 'Lady' part that confused me !!

You cheeky rascal!!

Hmmmmm, the 'Shadow' that I know would never use the word 'Rascal'

Hehe nearly had you fooled vanner!!

Sorry for going off thread!!!

The film Twilight Zone was good as well in its time, but I think technology has come too far on now for me to enjoy that one now. Its not like T1 that is still my #1.

Have any of you seen the Origional Russian "Solaris"?

and how come no one has said "2001, a space oddyessy?"

Either way, that is my favorite "Sci Fi" movie. 2001. Absolutly stunning for being made in 1968. Stanly Kubrik really was an amazing director.

I saw the original Solaris many years ago on tv. My memories of it are that it was very long and not a lot seemed to happen........ and that it was in russian! 2001 is an amazing film for its time.

My impression on seeing the original Solaris was that the director must have been on Valium!
