Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Feel free to include Fantasy "swords and sorcery" too
I'm genuinely looking for recommendations
Let's take the "Star Wars", "Star Trek" and "Alien" sagas as givens!
Off the top of my head, here's some of my faves, which don't tire after several viewings
- Starship Troopers (I can watch it again and again!)
- Dark Star
- Contact (Jodie Foster)
- Bladerunner
- The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 version)
Aliens. Next.Comment

Used to watch them on the train down to the city.
Made a nice little earner that one did.
Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
