Escape from L.A.
Devil's Advocate
Supernova (this one's pushing it a bit though)
Godzilla (1998)
Lost In Space (it came free with my DVD player and I thought it was okay. Plus Heather Graham and Mimi Rogers in form-fitting space suits

I really like Starship Troopers and The Fifth Element

Lost in Space and the Fifth Element are a must.
The editing in the Fifth Element is what makes the whole difference from being just another sci-fi flick. Of, course, it had to come from a French director.

I thought The Fifth Element was cool looking and fun. The sense of humor was great plus it had Bruce Willis8) and Mila Jovovich

I also liked ICE PIRATES. Here is my partial list:

Red Dawn
Humanoids from the Deep
Pete's Dragon ( I don't know if this movie was hated)
The Blob (Original Version, the song was a hit but I'm not sure about the movie)
2001: A Space Travesty

Yeah, but Luc should stick with what he does best!

Physics defing action flicks!

The Fifth Element ROCKS! Good choice, man. By the way, is your name from the Narnia series, by any chance? Even though they're kiddie books, I still love them.

Some of my all-time favourites.

Actually my name comes from my name. It's my first name with my middle and last initial, backwards. Although, I am thinking about changing my story because your idea sounds cooler.

It might be a good idea--let me tell you what it means in the books. The Tisroc is an emporer-like person in the land of Calormen who is decended from the god Tash. Everytime one of the Tisroc's people talk about him, they must say "The Tisroc, may he live forever," to encourage him into immortality or something.

And when people address him to his face, they must kneel, avert their eyes from him (I think), and say things like, "O mighty Tisroc and O-the-delight-of-my-eyes" before they say what they need to.

So it might indeed be a good idea to adapt my story. People might start addressing you like that....

Sure, there are a couple letter differences in your name, but it's rather close....who will notice?

I also think BASEketball! and Top Secret! were great.

People hate Top Secret????

How can it be? Skeet shooting should be a sport! And that underwater fight scene is great!

BASEketball was AWESOME. Funniest scene in the movie was where Trey was driving the car down the highway and listening to the sappy love song on the radio. The singer starts talking about watching out for traffic and pedestrians on the street.

Sum of All Fears was a huge disappointment to me because it was so watered down from what the book was. The book carried a much more realistic, in depth plot about the nuclear attack. The movie had neo-nazi's as the enemy, but in the book the enemy is Syrian terrorists. In the book, the story starts out during the Syrian attack on the Golan Heights, when Israel was completely on the defensive, Israel had an aircraft loaded with a nuclear weapon. As they are preparing to launch the aircraft, Israel recaptures the military advantage, and the nuclear strike mission is scratched. The bomb is not unloaded off the plane due to miscommunication, however and the pilot takes off thinking he's got a conventional bombload when he really still has the nuke in his bomb bay. He's forced to jettison his bomb, and years later the Syrians are able to recover it.

Nevermind that Ben Affleck horribly butchered the Jack Ryan character. He just did not fit the role, in my mind.

I hated Lost in space. The throwing in of the whole time travel parts was an insult, as I love time travel movie if done properly. 5th Element was ok, I was a bit dissapointed at the end, but it was decent fun.

Lost in Space was alright. They showed it on TNT for the longest and I got to watch it there. One that people really seem to dislike is the Sci Fi version of Dune. Man, I hated the original. I thought it sucked hard. But the Sci Fi version was great.

"Soldier" with Kurt Russell. Stupid movie but I liked it anyway.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-11-14 09:51pm

Actually, I was under the impression that a lot of people really liked the Sci-Fi Dune mini-series.

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation

A sequel for sequels' sake, but still entertaining.

Ugh, MKA was awful.

The first one, however, was great.

I really, really, REALLY love The Fifth Element. I love future films like that. Might be illogical as all hell, but I love how New York City looks and the floating cruise liner, and the spaceship plane that takes them to the cruise liner, and that amazing Swiss army knife-type gun, and "More light! Ahh much better! ....are you German?", and the DNA recreation of Lee Loo, and the capital of the world is in New York City as it rightfully should be, and the black president, and the aliens, and the "We're sending in someone to negotiate!" BLAM! "Anyone else want to negotiate?", and the opera alien, and "Green!", and Ruby Red's comic relief, and just everything about that movie is uber-cool!!!

I must second that. Well spoken, my friend.

I don't know about your neck of the woods Spank miester, but people I've talked to hated it. Much like CTHD. They didn't like the subtitles in theaters. heh. In fact, I think I'm gonna watch the Dune series on DVD right now.

The thing is though, that criticizing CTHD merely for subtitles doesn't show the movie to be bad, merely that the viewers there are, well closeminded.

Thank you professor profound. That's still in keeping with the thread title though. people hated it, I dont think they got the story either anyways.

Yes...I think instead of that horrible dubbing in Japanese films they should just put subtitles. I liked watching sumurai movies in subtitles. And Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as well. It was just a lot better than having crappy voice-overs. Plus I get to hear a new language that is rarely heard because of all of those crap-ass dubbed-in movies.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2002-11-14 10:34pm

It's a proven fact that subtitles automatically deactivate a typical moron's brain.

That and if the film comes from China, Hong Kong, or Japan.

Thank You! I hate dubbing voice overs. It camps up a movie that should be taken seriously. I hate camp in seious movies.
