yeah, from Phillip K Dick, i have read it.

Dune is good, but have you seen *** 3 hour Alan Smithee directed version? its a completely different movie

j00ni · 27 Jul 2006 at 23:51

Tron, love that film

Have to say though, I'm with Toryglen-boy on the 50s/60s sci-fi

I quite like The Day the Earth Stood Still, and Quatermass for a British take on Sci-Fi.

Blade Runner wins it for me though.

Bladerunner for me although it has been a while since I watched it, the book was better though as(by the nature of the medium) it left more to the imagination and was a bit more ambiguous.

Matrix NUMBER ONE, i thought number two was bad, and then it managed to get worse in number three

Cant say im that experienced in sci-fi, as it's generally not my genre, but Matrix blew me away

Not sure how we're defining classic here but Back to the Future was, and still is, my favourite all time sci-fi movie.
