Enjoy!

No one has mentioned Starship Troopers! I love that movie, infact... I need to go watch it :)

I'm unclear on what you mean by "non-conventional Sci-Fi Movies." Do you mean anything that's not a big budget Hollywood blockbuster? Or does it need to be talky rather than action-packed? How about comedies with a sci-fi bent?

Three come to mind:

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
Big Trouble in Little China
Galaxy Quest

But I don't know if they count.

These were probably more popular than what you're asking for, but all worth watching IMO:

The Abyss
Contact
Serenity
Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind
Lawnmower Man
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Running Man
The Last Starfighter
Enemy Mine
The Fly

Hehe....that should keep you busy for a while :-)

The Abyss is an A+.
I love Contact and watched it recently. I would LOVE it if they made a sequel.
Serenity was very good and made me watch the Firefly series.
Lawnmower Man was a bit cheesy, but decent.
The Fly was just gross.

I'll check out the other shortly. :) Thanks!

I personally liked Nightbreed.

Children of Men was pretty good, although I think it was alot more about the action and adventure than the sci-fi. I enjoyed the premise.

Deja Va was so-so.

I hate to admit this, but I don't think I've ever seen Tron! Or atleast, I was very young when I saw it. I can't believe I missed that. I'll have to rectify that shortly.

I always confuse Blade Runner with that really bad sci-fi movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger where he doesn't know what reality is real. I need to rewatch it.

The rest look interesting so I'll check them out. The old ones are hard to find to stream though.

My favourite "unconventional" Science Fiction films include relatively recent releases like:

Children of Men
Deja Vu
28 Days Later

However I will always love the films I watched growing, they made me fall in love with the genre, and you might not have seen them yet:

Tron
Millennium
Blade Runner
The Last Starfighter
Brazil
Cocoon 1&2
D.A.R.Y.L
Flight of the Navigator

I love sci-fi movies and I've darn well seen most of the good ones, specially all of the big blockbuster ones. Every now and then, I run into really good sci-fi movies though, that I just love, but most people haven't ever heard of. So I figured I'd post them here to share and see if anyone else has some of their own not-so-popular sci-fi movies they'd suggest I watch.

Here's the ones I've thought of so far:

Sunshine
City of Ember
Moon

I am a skeptic, but even with that several years ago, my then partner and I vacationed in Jamaica. While there we took the tour of Rose Hall. Nothing out of the ordinary while we were there, but after returning to the states, and getting our film developed we had half a dozen 'ghost' pictures.

I don't *know* they were ghosts, but I know we didn't doctor them, and I know there weren't people in the pictures when we took them... so.. yeah. Creepy!

I'd love to see these ghost pics.

Unfortunately, they were left with the ex... lol Wish I still had them.. they were interesting to say the least.

:P

None of the above and a skeptic. I get feelings of deja vu all the time, but the current scientific hypothesis is that this is actually a 'fake' sensation caused by your brain actually recording an experience as a memory before you consciously recognize the experience. This could lead to the feeling that you've experienced something before when you clearly haven't.

Not saying that the UFO or alien thing couldn't happen, but so far I've yet to hear or see any experience that doesn't sound like a load of bullshit.

Put me in the Scully camp. None of the above, and a skeptic.

(But they make for good stories.)

We've got a good number people already planning on playing it; a little over 60.

Unfortunately it would take time away from me playing STO, and since Star Trek is far superior to Star Wars, I'll be sticking to my current game. :-p

I've had a lot of good luck with my alien Tac officer (Enhasan), however, I have no idea how he compares to the standard builds.

I am with a group called American Paranormal Investigations. We do ghost hunting here in Sacramento and are family members of TAPS, the group that does investigations on SCI-FI.

I hope to see more people joining the Knights in the future, as I just posted a new Forum Thread on the TOR Guild Hall Forums for our guild.
