    Default What sci-fi movie should I watch next?

    I've been in a sci-fi movie mood lately. I compiled a list of movies from various "top sci-fi movies" lists. If a sci-fi movie isn't on this list, it's most likely because I've already seen it (or it's a terrible movie). Anyway, this list is so long, I'm not really sure what I should watch next. What do you recommend? I'm also open to suggestions that aren't on the list.

    The List
    2010 The Year We Make Contact
    Terminator series
    Alien
    Close Encounters of the Third Kind
    Forbidden Planet
    Brazil
    Metropolis
    Invasion of the Body Snatchers
    A Clockwork Orange
    Equilibrium
    The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension!
    Alien Nation
    Alphaville
    A Boy and His Dog
    Hardware
    Outland
    Time After Time
    Westworld
    Pitch Black
    The Road
    Avalon
    The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
    Serenity
    Voices of a Distant Star
    Code 46
    Solaris (original)
    The Fountain
    2046
    Mad Max
    The Road Warrior
    Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan
    Tron
    Galaxy Quest
    RoboCop
    Stalker
    La Jetee

    The Mad Max series. It's so horribly awesome that you can't help but love it.

    no, but you'll like the movie more. the series does a better job of setting up the characters from scratch than the movie (which itself does do a good job).

    plus, the events of serenity happen after the events of firefly, so if you then go back and watch firefly afterwards you'll know in advance what it's all leading to.

    I kinda hope to eventually watch Firefly (I think I have it downloaded somewhere). So do you recommend that I wait to see the movie after I watch Firefly?

    Brazil. But make sure it's the one with the good ending. I think it's the director's cut.
    A Scanner Darkly is amazing but, as it's not on the list, maybe you've seen it. If not, watch it.
    And Serenity is one of my favourite sci-fi films but I can't imagine enjoying it half as much without seeing the series first.

    watch A Clockwork Orange
    watch 2046 for a surreal love story
    watch The Fountain if you like Aronofsky
    watch Equilibrium if you like 1984

    I never watched it all the way through and I kinda forgot that it was even a sci-fi movie. I'll add it to the list.

    Def terminator if you haven't seen them.

    Close Encounters of the Third Kind was good in it's day (read I'm old), not sure if I'd enjoy it now. I can't help do the bom bom bum bum bah every time I think of it though.
