I expected three of ILX's top five to put me to sleep. I was right, and I haven't even seen the other two.

but we did sort of have a renaissance of aliens love, between this and the aliens poll.
honestly, i thought the thing would be #1 or #2.

btw blade runner: the final cut just arrived today from netflix.
I thought so too. (I voted for The Quiet Earth though)

No *batteries not included, no credibility

Still, I would have thought Aliens might have gotten at least one vote. I expected a bigger turn out anyway.
― Ste, Thursday, 27 March 2008 09:26 (sixteen years ago) link
aliens more likely to get repped in an action poll.
― Cosmo Vitelli, Thursday, 27 March 2008 09:34 (sixteen years ago) link
83 votes is not bad for a poll, they rarely get over 100.

*batteries not included,
isn't this about old people?

what is it with 80's sci-fi flicks about old people
― latebloomer, Thursday, 27 March 2008 13:49 (sixteen years ago) link
do the star trek flicks count as part of this sub-genre?
― latebloomer, Thursday, 27 March 2008 14:00 (sixteen years ago) link
this poll was too hard was the problem
― n/a, Thursday, 27 March 2008 14:14 (sixteen years ago) link
seriously. so many notable flicks.
― latebloomer, Thursday, 27 March 2008 14:15 (sixteen years ago) link
I, for one, couldn't choose.

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

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

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

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
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 28 March 2008 14:11 (sixteen years ago) link
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

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 :(

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.
