Fun thread. A lot of good movies in here. I'll need to stew on it, but I think most of my favs have been covered. Some movies are definitely tough to judge though. There are a lot of great movies that had some type of profound affect on me, but do I really want to rewatch them? Maybe rewatchable sci fi is it's own list.
Some notables from the thread:
Contact: I guess I might need to rewatch this, but I just remember being really mad about the ending. However, one of the best lines about the gov is in the film..."First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?"
Ad-Astra: Hated this movie. I dubbed it 'Deep Space Daddy Issues'. Would not recommend.
Dune: I like this movie. Probably because it's super weird and I saw it a bunch of times as a kid and liked it. Haven't rewatched in a a long time, and have since read most of the books. I'm looking forward to the new one.
Prometheus: I also like this movie. I get why it gets some hate, but I still enjoyed it.
Mostly I'm just glad noone has Into Darkness on their list. We've been chirping about this one in the Trek thread recently. It's terrible.
