I saw the george clooney one first, I prefer the original but they're both good in different ways.





just like A.L.F


The Matrix is the last one that blew me away I think.

even Clockwork Orange is sometimes thought of as science fiction...

It was called Bigfoot and the Hendersons in Europe. Maybe because the distributors thought that people would be confused as to what the monster was supposed to be if he was just called Harry. We're more likely to associate big hairy creatures with yetis than bigfoots (bigfeet?).

Canadians are bigfeet themselves. Otherwise they wouldn't get anywhere.

"The Terminator" - it's my favorite movie, period. And Yeah, it is science fiction (not action), because James Cameron says so.

A Clockwork Orange, hands down.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

watched this last night and it is STILL a very beautifully filmed movie that has aged very well.....



this was groundbreaking (IMHO)...great premise, Morpheus was the coolest badass ever (not like the vagina they transformed him into by the third movie) and the stunts were off the hook....



one of my all-time faves.....
He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.
(George Eliot)
