Rob Instigator · 11.16.2009, 12:10 PM

Hmmm, freaky sci fi shit

Hardware (cyberpunk thriller, gory killin, drugs)
Tesuo Iron man (you prolly already seen it. cyberpunk freakout of high order)
Event Horizon (horror sci-fi outer space killins)
Solaris (russian one space out to it, let it soak you in, no sound in space)
fifth element (what all filmed versions of Heavy metal stories wish they were)
Primer (low-budget film about time travel. very cool)
Titan A.E. (don bluth sci fi animation. cool if hokey at times. not so much killins)
Naked Lunch (not really sci fi but weird enough to mess ya up)
Galaxy Quest (spoof/satire of Trek/fandom in general. very funny.)
Tron (so dated it's new again. watch it for kicks)
The Adventures of Buckaroo banzai in the 8th dimension (weird movie, weird story, not yr normal sci fi. weirded me out as a kid)
Brazil (dystopia and totalitarian madness from themind of Gilliam)
They Live (near-future bleakness, humanity controled, roddy piper saves the day with an 8 minute fight scene.)
Pitch Black (spare story of peopel stranded on planet where the suns never go down, or does it? Violence. tension,. vin diesel)
The Cube ( harsh gory story of people trapped and tortured by their surroundings)
Ghost In The Shell (anime about how much remains human when the body is replaced slowly by machine)
Strange Days ( not perfect but crazy flick about near future where people's experiences are downloaded to sell to others so they can relive them)
Twelve Monkeys (dystopian future tries to prevent itself by tim travel back to our time. bleak and tense)
Dark City (man wakes up in the middle of the night to find his city rearranging itself around him.)
Pi (man's obsession with numbers drives him to insanity)
Gattaca (Eugenics drives humanity to new heights in which the wrong DNA can mark you for death)

just a short list of some I enjoy

looking glass spectacle · 11.16.2009, 12:10 PM

i'd seen it before, years ago... but... wow. bleak.

Derek · 11.16.2009, 12:43 PM

^ Hate.

looking glass spectacle · 11.16.2009, 01:00 PM

^ no, i love aronofsky's movies... but they're pretty bleak.

Derek · 11.16.2009, 01:04 PM

Different strokes. Requiem for a Dream is one of my most disliked movies.

noisereductions · 11.16.2009, 01:20 PM

I cannot enjoy Requiem myself.

looking glass spectacle · 11.16.2009, 01:44 PM

i hadn't seen it since early 2002, the weekend before the police took me to the psych hospital in restraints on a monday morning.

atsonicpark · 11.16.2009, 06:12 PM

Requiem = 1/10

I just wanna mention Hard Candy again. Cuz it was so fucking good and nobody said anything about it to me.

atsonicpark · 11.16.2009, 08:54 PM

Yeah Hard Candy's alright. I'd probably give it a 7. I love Ellen Page, and the acting's great... love how minimal it is (2 people in a room for almost the entire film). Felt a bit letdown by the ending, and it's not that great of a film to watch a second time. Good film either way.

noisereductions · 11.16.2009, 09:14 PM

I loved it. And loved Ellen Page's acting. And thought it's minimalism both in execution (2 people, could've been a low budget play as you pointed out) and in it's horror (I've never been so freaked out at something I DIDN't see -- you KNOW what loooooooooong fucking scene I'm referring too.) PLUS, Ellen Page is super-cute, but then you feel WRONG and SCARED for thinking so. Brilliant film.

atsonicpark · 11.16.2009, 09:41 PM

I'd bone Ellen Page all day, every day.

noisereductions · 11.16.2009, 09:43 PM

hahaha

The Earl Of Slander · 11.16.2009, 09:49 PM

Great film. Although I watched it because I LOVED Le Circle Rouge, and read that the heist scene in that was Mellville's response to the one in this (which he was originally supposed to direct instead of Dassin), and I have to say that of the two, although they're both classics, Le Circle Rouge is easily the one that blew my mind more...

jerf · 11.16.2009, 10:30 PM

The Orphanage.

it was pretty cool and creepy, but not scary at all like i thought.

Dr. Eugene Felikson · 11.17.2009, 12:56 AM

Once Upon A Time In The West

atsonicpark · 11.17.2009, 04:23 AM

Oh my god Dr. Eugene. One of my absolute top-25 favorite films ever. Fuck!

atsonicpark · 11.17.2009, 04:25 AM

Been re-watching some stuff with the new old lady
