Sci-fi cheese?

The fifth element...(cheesy with extra cheese)
Dark Star (cheesy but great)
Stargate (where it all began!)

That's apart from the Star Wars / Blade Runner / Total Recall classics!

Captain Chaos · 21-06-2012 10:04PM

Event Horizon.
Starship Troopers.
Logan's Run.

All classics there for me. The effects in ST from 1997 put alot of CGI today to shame.

If it's cheesy you're looking for, then go no further than Battle beyond the stars.

If it's cheesy but still watchable then as above go for Logan's Run.

No one has mentioned Total Recall yet? The film everyone secretly loves but are afraid to admit. Or Robocop? Or ghostbusters?

gipi · 22-06-2012 11:00PM

I remember the first "Day the Earth Stood Still" and the first time I saw it in an afternoon matinee on BBC2 back in the 70s.

2001 was great, and as we are talking years then 1984 was also very good.

One of my very favourites though was Brazil. How Sci Fi was that. :cool: I'd watch it over and over. I must get one of the kids to buy me it on DVD for Christmas.

I liked that one with the girl in the underground building killing all the zombies as well. Late night viewing but can't remember what its called.
