Favorite sci-fi film

[wobblytwon34]

What is your favorite sci-fi film? Mine would have to be "Aliens" with Sigourney Weaver, Bill Paxton, Lance Henrikson, and Michael Bean.

[Ry Fryy]

The Thing, which also happens to be my favorite film ever.

[chappers]

The Thing was alright, it's like every other horror film imo. I'll have to go with the basic answer, which is Star Wars. I would say Halo is my joint favourite, since i have quite a craze for Halo, but that isn't a movie... yet.

[saunderscowie]

Star Wars

The Thing is over 20 years old and it still has the best special effects ever seen in a movie. Not very many films can hold up after 24 years. Star Wars sure can't.

[saunderscowie]

Please tell me what is your problem with the star wars series

[Ry Fryy]

Please tell me what is your problem with the star wars series
It's boring.

Please tell me why you feel everyone has to like it.

[saunderscowie]

I don't, I like it I was just asking as most people do like it

[fiery]

2001 a space odyssey

[Ry Fryy]

I don't, I like it I was just asking as most people do like it
What exactly is most?

[SolidSnake526]

Apollo 13, though it isn't really fiction...
So I guess it'd be Star Wars...wait no.

The Matrix (the first one), hands down. This movie was AWESOME!

[I am a Goat]

Equilibrium, Donnie Darko, Star Wars (Original 3)

[Zangetsu]

Resident evil: Genesis and resident evil: apocalypse

[SolidSnake526]

Resident evil: Genesis and resident evil: apocalypseWhat's Resident Evil: Genesis?

I thought there was only the first one and than Apocalypse?

Not to mention... you'd say the RE movies were better than The Matrix?!

[Zangetsu]

the first movie is resident evil genesis thats what the one i have is called at least. Its a collectors edition

[Lindquist II]

Star Wars-
Event Horizon-



If you were an adolescent when Star Wars hit the scene then you would know why people adore it. Back in the late 70's and through the 80's it was one of a kind. Today it's all watered-down pumping movies out like an assembly line. "May the force be with you."

[chappers]

Well considering the original trilogy of star wars are in the top 250 movies, according to imdb. 2 of them in the top 15, and all of them having around 100,000 plus votes. I think that shows who most people are... It is also considered possibly the best trilogy of films ever created, and i don't think there has ever been a bigger craze then star wars. Plus that craze is still going on to this day, and it's about 20-30 years later... So you tell me who most people are now :D.

[saunderscowie]

Good job Chris, also the matrix is one of my favourite

[chappers]

Alien Resurrection, what a brilliant film, and it has Michael Wincott :O.

[Brushwithalpha]

Donnie Darko or Starwars.

[Ummidontknow]

The Matrix. The first one.

Yes, that's the Internet for you. The same kind of the people that like Star Wars are the same kind of people that would vote on IMDb.com. I'm sure a movie that doesn't scream 'nerd' wouldn't have nearly as many votes. And seriously, we all know that about 100,000 of those votes are just people going 10 here and a 10 there without giving it anymore thought then that. Casablanca and 12 Angry Men? Oh yea, that list is defiantly a great source for the best movies of all time. For christ sake, the LOTR movies have more votes then Star Wars.

Well you give me a good source that shows 100,000 plus people have given star wars like 5 or below.

[Ry Fryy]

I gave you it? You referenced it in your previous post. :?

[chappers]

I don't exactly see any links, or anything that proves my point wrong. And i highly doubt someone is sad enough to rate a movie like a billion times...

Wow a member of a forum calling something else geeky. Star Wars is no geekier than 360 games- and we hate being insulted for our gaming. :x

You clearly underestimate how pathetic Star Wars fans are.

Not really. As an Xbox 360 gamer, I've never tried to get it to be a full-fledged religion or dressed up as characters from it. Or even role-played as one of them. :roll:

[chappers]

So you are saying that i am a geek for likingStar Wars, or do that sort of thing, like dressing up to the Premiere. You must be a very shallow person...

You could have put that in your last post, rather than double post.
But you didn't.

Some people will do anything for a post, I guess you truly are the geek.

Nope. I never said in my post 'Chappers is a geek and he dresses up like Princess Leia'. Never said that. Stop being such a negative nancy.

Excuse me? It's one post, how does that make me a geek? I did what I did to keep people from getting confused. Besides, that isn't a double post. A double post would be if I stated something and then posted after that something to the effect of it being the exact same statement or not bringing anything new to the discussion.

Gotta love being attacked by people who take forums way to serious.

Idiot.

If you don't take the forums seriously, then why bother argue back?
Everyone takes forums seriously, par spammers. If you don't like that then leave.
And nobody attacked you, rather the opposite to be honest, when you started calling chappers a geek.

Remember this isn't Off Topic.

[Et3rnal Light]

Donnie Darko

(Is that sci-fi?)

[kdawg15]

ive always been a starwars fan myself

[Ry Fryy]

Idiot.
Wow, you're really a nice guy, calling me a geek and an idiot. Calling names sure is a great way to make yourself look intelligent.

I was replying to two seperate people. Double posting would be if I replied to this post, then replied to it . . . again.

You do know that you can click Quote, then copy it, then click Quote again and then paste the previous one. That way you can reply to both in one post.

I'm well aware of that. I'm also finding it so hard to believe that you're making such a big deal out of me posting back to back to two seperate people while there are plenty of other people on this forum who are double posting without adding anything new to the discussion. Go bark at them.

Your making out that you didn't fuel the fire in the first place by saying this.

And how was that last post making a deal? I gave you advice if anything. Your the one who's taking this too far.

[Et3rnal Light]

ok guys, serously this is getting stupid.

Just stop fighting, please

Crikey, leave it for the Mods to sort out if they feel right.

I just don't think calling a member a geek for liking Star Wars is a very wise thing to do in a Sci Fi topic. If he has a problem with Sci Fi he can leave the topic, dilemna solved.

[Ry Fryy]

Actually, he's the one that used the term 'geek', not me, and it was never used directly at him. You're just having a little temper tantrum.

[chappers]

Ry Fryy, your running a very fine line. You diss star wars, even though it's probably the biggest sci fi movie around (and you'd expect it to be posted in the sci-fi topic), you pretty much made the point that i am a geek for liking star wars. Stop telling me that i'm the one in the wrong, if you were smart enough, you wouldn't have said star wars is rubbish.

[saunderscowie]

I'll say it again STAR WARS is a success, and just because you dislike it doesn't make it a terrible movie series, because it's properly one of the biggest ever made. Oh and yeah Me Chappers and the other millions of people around the world are geeks.... ¬_¬ I think not.

[Ry Fryy]

1.) I never called you a geek.
2.) How did I say you were 'wrong'?
3.) I never said it was 'rubbish'.

It's great how you're just putting in new and different words for what I said. If anything, you're wrong. Just because I don't have a hard-on for Star Wars . . .

I find it hilarious how defensive you get about Star Wars. If you were a real fan you would just shrug it off and wouldn't care that I don't like it. Huh.

Well if you don't care about it, why have you posted numerous posts which offer negative comments about star wars. You know it's going to spark an argument off, and the thing is, you keep prolonging this argument. You may not have said those 3 things, but you have definitely made it clear that you think star wars and myself are "geeky" For Example: You clearly underestimate how pathetic Star Wars fans are.
Not really. As an Xbox 360 gamer, I've never tried to get it to be a full-fledged religion or dressed up as characters from it. Or even role-played as one of them.

And finally, that Star Wars is rubbish For Example: It's boring.
Please tell me why you feel everyone has to like it.
Star Wars sure can't.
Yes, that's the Internet for you. The same kind of the people that like Star Wars are the same kind of people that would vote on IMDb.com. I'm sure a movie that doesn't scream 'nerd' wouldn't have nearly as many votes. And seriously, we all know that about 100,000 of those votes are just people going 10 here and a 10 there without giving it anymore thought then that.

I admit that some of them are a bit vague, but they do answer your questions. And in all honesty, i don't actually care that you don't like it, but whats the point in coming onto a message board making some bold statements about star wars, even though it's a small minority that do these things, and pretty much dissing it. And i'll say it again, this is a Sci-Fi topic, the chances of star wars being mentioned are 1/1.

Just because I don't have a hard-on for Star Wars . . . Wow, this is a great way to try and make yourself innocent. This is the sort of petty quote you have said throughout this topic.

I find it hilarious how defensive you get about Star Wars. If you were a real fan you would just shrug it off and wouldn't care that I don't like it. Huh.
Of course i'm going to defend it, if i like something, then i will defend it. For instance, if i saw a friend getting bullied i would stand in for them. This might not be as serious, but it's practically the same thing :p. Again, this shows how shallow you have been, different people react to different things, and unfortunately for you, i can get pretty annoyed at the smallest things going. And i personally don't think a real fan would just shrug it off...

Now lets just get back onto topic, and stop prolonging this darn argument.
