When strange seeds drift to earth from space, mysterious pods begin to grow and invade San Francisco, replicating the city's residents one body at a time.
Another half scifi/horror. I've always preferred the 1978 version. The ending with the classic Donald Sutherland stare is just terrifying.
Trivia: Donald Sutherland was hit by a Volkswagen beetle while filming a shot of Matthew and Elizabeth running. He fell onto the windshield and was able to see the driver saying "Oh God, not you!"
When Dirty Harry came out, that was supposed to be the dirty, gritty, dystopian version of San Francisco. Now I watch that movie and feel like I'm observing the golden age of a lost civilization.

An interstellar teleportation device, found in Egypt, leads to a planet with humans resembling ancient Egyptians who worship the god Ra.
The mid-90s and Roland Emmerich go together like turkey and gravy. This one ages incredibly well. Russell and Sapder are great.
Trivia: As it happens in Mexico with most movie titles translated from English, the title for this movie was not a literal translation of the original title. Stargate became "La puerta del tiempo" which translates to "The Gate of Time". Some moviegoers mistakenly thought the far away planet the squad goes to was just a very early time in Egypt, and were seriously confused with the storyline.

My family is doing a full rewatch of Stargate SG1/Atlantis right now. I enjoyed the movie quite a bit but what it spawned was even better IMO.

It is a big time investment, especially compared to what TV has turned in to today. We watch an episode each night during dinner.
Even if you leave out Stargate Universe, you still have 15 seasons and a whopping 314, 45 minute long episodes.
Me too - I know it gets better but the first two seasons are kind of weak to the point where I'm surprised it wasn't cancelled after the first two seasons - although I guess at the time FOX didn't have a ton of content while it was finding its way.

In the post-apocalyptic Australian wasteland, a cynical drifter agrees to help a small, gasoline-rich community get rid of a horde of bandits.
I kept going back and forth ranking Fury Road and Road Warrior over each other. Ultimately, while Fury Road has some of the best vehicular action maybe ever, I think I like this one better for the better post-spocalyptic story
Trivia: The dog used in the film, named simply "Dog", was obtained from a local dog pound and trained to perform in the film. Because the sound of the engines upset him (and in one incident, caused him to relieve himself in the car), he was fitted with special earplugs. After filming was complete, he was adopted by one of the camera operators.
I say give it a shot, Andy, it is a good watch. Spader and Russel offer a good contrast for the story and the head bad guy is easy enough to hate which makes the final showdown pretty neat. The sci-fi part of it is cool as well and the filming is perfect, imo. Good story, good characters, good bad guy, great backdrop, worth the watch.
Saw this movie multiple times via HBO when they would show movies 100 times per month back in the day. The beginning with the saw and handcuffs sets things in motion right off the bat. And who doesn't like dystopian bad dudes dressed like the village people with bad hair choices? Awesomeness personified.This would have been Top Ten for me.

Thunderdome was going great for roughly the first half of the movie, then he ran into the kids and it devolved into derivative silliness.
Take us home Captain Walker!!
None of them owned or were capable of operating a razor edged metal boomerang. No way he'd realistically let any of them hang with him. The credibility of the whole franchise was ruined at that point.
Solid movie. Still good today. I wish it had more sci-fi aspect. What it had was very cool. Seemed too focused on the oppressed people. Would have liked more focus on the powers of not only the aliens but maybe others in the galaxy. Which is why the series is better. More storylines given what the Stargate was. I don't think it ever had the same level of intrigue as the most of the star trek series. Which is too bad. Stargate had more potential.46. Stargate

Chris Nielsen dies in an accident, and enters Heaven. But when he discovers that his beloved wife Annie has killed herself out of grief over the loss, he embarks on an afterlife adventure to reunite with her.
Absolutely love the visuals of heaven and hell and how high on emotion this movie is. May not be on everyone's list.
Trivia: Annabella Sciorra initially had no desire to appear in the film, thinking that it would be too intense and sad. A read-through with Robin Williams convinced her otherwise.

Enjoyed this one much more on my first rewatch as I better appreciated all the themes this movie possesses. That chess scene with death is simply classic.
Trivia: Ingmar Bergman credited the film with helping him overcome his crippling fear of death. Because the film dealt so overtly with the subject, he found it a highly cathartic experience.

nice teaser
Is there a reason? Did you feel like you'd be scrapping the bottom of the barrel if you did separate fantasy/sci-fi lists?
