The 1980's science fiction movie poll

what is it with 80's sci-fi flicks about old people

do the star trek flicks count as part of this sub-genre?

this poll was too hard was the problem

seriously. so many notable flicks.

I, for one, couldn't choose.

Cocoon was a hit, ripoffs ensue.
No MAC and me on this poll...so sad.

tom - 90's poll? :>

predicting Virtuosity for the win

vs. Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace

watched Robocop last night, and noticed that it featured at least two england footballer lookalikes, David Platt and Wayne Rooney

No MAC and me on this poll...so sad.

more like Big Mac and me amirite

yeah I didn't vote - too hard. surprised to see Videodrome place so high and the Thing place so low tho.

I am pleased that Repo Man came in ahead of E.T..

And Alan Rudolph's Endangered Species is either about aliens or black helicopters.

Oh, and with a similar poster, it turns out:

I guess 80s teen science fiction is a whole other category.

of the top ten, i haven't seen videodrome or they live.
what are they all about and why do i love them>

oh man you need to see both asap, dude

i miss neon grids.

Videodrome is maybe DC's finest theorem about the New Flesh, I think of it every time I shoulder past some zombielike texter on the sidewalk

They Live is silly as hell but its good. Videodrome is definitely one of Cronenberg's high points and must be seen immediately.

also Zapped! gawd that is some funny shit

^they also served.

i watched Outland last night. aside from a few silly plot points, it's pretty good! sean connery as wild west sheriff meets modern drugs/unions/corporations plot, set in space.

man The Hidden is great! can't believe I never saw that before. Deserved at least a vote :(

special lol @ Mrs. Haverchuck from Freaks and Geeks appearing as a stripper

You guys - there is this straight-to-VHS film from '87 called Death Row Game Show and it is amazing. Baffled that it never got a cult following, the blackly ironic tone is ridic.

I mean
