Hello

Do you have some movies or series to suggest please ?

I think about the movie Transcendence (2014) and Chappie

And about those/these series : Prison Break and Chuck

Science + action?

Robocop
Total Recall
The Hunt For Red October
Burn Notice
... and of course the Terminator, Alien, MIB, and BTTF series (of movies)

Any genre welcomed

Thank you very much, I saw Terminator, Alien, MIB and BTTF series, preferred Alien > Terminator

Did you watch Prey (2022) ? And Prometheus ?

I just re-watched Taken 1 before creating this topic it's great IMO

Old Westerns.
Specifically Sergio Leone 'spaghetty' westerns.

The Bridge on the River Kwai

Father Goose

Charade

Moonstruck

The Green Mile, The Ring original Japanese, Any Bruce Lee film.

Hello.

- 11 Harrowhouse

- Run a crooked mile

( if you can find them )

Hunt for the Wilderpeople A witty examination of us and our world today, also Perfume, although the book goes into much more detail, which explains it much better...

"batteries not included" is a good film as is "Spaced Invaders"

The Ipcress File and Get Carter. 

thank you everyone for your suggestions

i just watched Non-Stop it was crazy

An idiosyncratic list from a film buff - films that provoke thought and explore the human condition via sci-fi tropes...

Looper. 

Source Code.

Primer.

12 Monkeys.

Ex Machina.

2001.

Blade Runner.

Arrival.

Moon.

The Martian. 

Total Recall. (Some hokey science, but still...)

The Abyss. (Love you, Mary E. Mastrantonio!)

Children of Men.

District 9. (from the director of Chappie, IIRC)

Silent Running.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Minority Report.

Gattaca.

eXistenz. (have to get one David Cronenberg flick in here)

Star Trek II (because why kind of cockamamie list leaves out the wrath of Khan??)

Solaris (the original Russian one)

and last but not least, World on a Wire (Fassbinder, and definitely not everyone's taste...it also inspired The Thirteenth Floor, another good simulated world movie that's not The Matrix but every bit as good...)(am currently watching a German miniseries that also is influenced by Fassbinders WoaW, called 1899, which I can already say I like better than The Matrix, not least for its gritty and haunting sets and clever use of a period drama framing...)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Debbie does Dallas

Rumple Foreskin

Penelopes Phallus Palace

Hard Folks, Clean Strokes 

The Flintstones 

 

If there are sci-fi buffs here, any interest in starting a dedicated thread for the genre?

I'm afraid INow might suggest some sci-fi porn ...

You mean like "Scrotal Recall" ?  

Yes, let's hope he doesn't mention that.  

Flesh Gordon (1974)

The Thirteenth Floor is a special favourite - as noted by TheVat  it was based on a German TV series called World on A Wire.

If you enjoy VR based SciFi theme films, then you might also enjoy Avalon (2001) which is Japanese/Polish collaboration directed by Marmoru Oshii  - who is probably better known for his original animated version of Ghost in The Shell (1995).

Avalon was made on location in Poland with a Polish speaking cast and crew.  A stand alone sequel called Asssault Girls set in the same world was released in 2009

One of the funniest films ever! The planet porno attacks the earth with the super sex beam!

It's a documentary of 4 episodes about psychedelics, does someone watched it ?

I watched THE MENU yesterday it was pretty cool

 

ps : thanks again for your suggestions and funny comments
