Poll: What’s the best 1980’s sci-fi flick? Part II

[the_matrix_guy]

Let’s vote again, this list should be a little better

[Magmoormaster]

I'll admit, I didn't realize the first one was even a poll for several days. I thought you were just asking.

[latches109]

yes, all of the above.

[the_matrix_guy]

But if you had to pick one as the absolute best…

[bored383]

I voted Buckaroo Banzai, for obvious reasons, but honestly would have selected damn near all of them

[Chaos]

Disappointed that Star Trek II isn't up there

[bored383]

holy crap - you're right! and its the best Trek movie of all of them

[the_matrix_guy]

bored383 I just added it. I’ll have to re-visit this one

It was a hard decision. Mostly because i only had 20 seconds to comply

[Kit352]

The wraith. Robot Jox can sub for Gundam.

Tron was the single most amazing movie to me when it came out. It convinced me to go to school and study computers, etc.
That said, I cant make a decision. Every movie on the list is a banger.

Not on the list, but I did watch last night: Chopping Mall. Its about hot, often naked teenagers in a mall. Security robots get hit by lightening, and go on a killing spree.

Interesting that a lot more people voted for Star Wars this time. Almost all The Terminator voters re voted SW?

So if you had asked me without a list I most likely would have picked Dune, I remember going and seeing this in the theater and was spell bound. I probably helped I had re-read the book maybe 5 times at that point so really didn't need the story to be told to me.

[martix_agent]

I simply can not choose. I don't think it's possible.
There's definitely some that don't make my list, though.

How do you like the new ones?

[Grendel]

I am enjoying the latest ones, they are following the storyline reasonably well and seem well acted/directed. The other advantage to the new ones is I have to explain less to my wife. My wife likes good SciFi but the storylines need to be pretty straight forward.

Star Wars currently winning over Aliens by a single vote should be a crime.

Arguably in the history of cinema and pop culture SW certainly wins, that franchise is massive. However in my honest opinion the movie(s) isn't/aren't better. But what do I know, I was born in the 90's 😂

[Grendel]

I never was a huge Star Wars fan boy. I really enjoyed the first 3 but never became a "Star Wars Fan" like some of my siblings. Disney has completely destroyed me having any enjoyment from Star Wars. Alien and Aliens is more my style of SciFi on the big screen.
