    Metropolis, with live music preferably. Possibly the first epic SF movie, a visual feast, and an amazing icon of both technology and sexuality with the Maria/Hel robot.

    With the election coming up I would love to see attack of the giant leeches. I think it would teach us all how to deal with all those canvasing the area.

    I’d like to see ‘Oversexed Rugsuckers From Mars’ play at REWIND because it’s just feckin’ mental. And although slated as one of the worst movies ever made, I love it for the nostalgia of cheap b-movies of the 80s.

    My second choice is ‘The Nostril Picker’.|Just because, don’t question it :)

    My serious choice is a movie that freaked me out so much I stopped it half way-ish, and questioned deeply what I was watching… I was watching it on my own, and admittedly somewhat doobed-up.
    You see, at one point in the movie a guy gets buggered by a vacuum cleaner and that’s only after he started replacing bits of his own body and bones with bits of metal he finds around his home. Other messed up stuff happen too but that scene freaked me out at the time. The movie was Tetsuo II: Body Hammer and I’d love to see it on the big screen :)

    Akira, because watching it on DVD just doesn’t give you the sense and depth that the movie has. In my opinion, Akira and the Iron Giant are 2 of the greatest animated movies of all time.

    Tarkovsky’s ‘Solaris’. Maybe even the Clooney remake. Embodies the best attribute of sci-fi – that of presenting thought-provoking philosophical ideas in an entertaining way.

    1. Deluded

      Tarkovsky’s version is class- gives a rounder view of Lem’s writing I think. (Fiasco is an excellent novel)

  10. Kieran NYC

    Original Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Them! or any of the Quatermass films. Fantastic Voyage. Robinson Crusoe on Mars.
