what is the best space film?

[CloudWalker]

SunShine

[MyUserName]

Another vote for Serenity!

[RSoles]

Silent running.

[The Spartan]

Event horizon

[Platypus]

Starship Troopers

It works, and its sequels don't, because the film takes time to set up and get to know the characters, what drives them. IOt's the age old thing that you have to care about the protagonists.

And that movie has a great sense of humour! [ Would you like to know more? ]

It's absolutely one of my favourite sci-fi films. I must have seen it 8-9 times

Having said that, there's some other great shouts on this thread, such as Dark Star, Flesh Gordon (!!).

But are they "Space" films? Apollo 13 and The Right Stuff are both good. And Moon, which I'd also class as a "space" film.

Star Wars of course.

[amcdonald]

Alien

Aliens

It's Alien meets Platoon

And for something more arty Cloud Atlas

[quackhandle]

Star Wars of course.

Empire Strikes Back. Best of the whole six films IMHO.

More syfy than space, but Blade Runner by a mile. Latest Star trek was good as well. Strictly space, Silent Running.

Well if it's Sci-fi, then Dune.
