What movie should I watch tonight?

[partyboy]

Love anything to do with space, aliens, or post-apocalyptic / end of the world type stuff. Can enjoy a good comedy. Usually find action and horror movies boring (unless the theme is one of the above things I listed) but your typical guns and car chase action movie makes me zzz

I watched Hellraiser: Bloodlines yesterday. It's Pinhead in space. It was terrible, but at least it was short.

"Paul".

"Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World" - best ending of all the "end of the world" movies :P

Logan's Run (1976), go back to the old days of movies, and see their version of the city of tomorrow.
Wanna get older and weirder, Metropolis (1927)

Excellent suggestions.

"Logan's Run" encapsulates a good bulk of the OP's request, too. It's an amazing movie. A bit dated, but really good sci-fi.

For any that haven't seen it that also like science-fiction:

"Forbidden Planet" (1956)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049223/

Yes, that's Lesley Nielson.


One can consider this a "Star Trek" sort of prequel...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_Planet

In the 23rd century, after more than a year's journey, the United Planets starship C-57D arrives at the distant planet Altair IV to determine the fate of the ship Bellerophon sent there 20 years before. Dr. Edward Morbius, one of the original expedition's scientists, warns the ship not to land for safety reasons, but Commander John J. Adams ignores his warning. ...

Anyone see the similarities with a standard Star Trek episode plot? :)

It is extremely weird... with some kind of "avante guarde" bit, too. Lots of scenes in a big white room. Donald Pleasance is in it, though, IIRC, and does a great job as does the headliner, Robert Duvall.

It's a good science fiction movie about an oppressive dystopic society. It should be interpreted for what it is, though, and not necessarily a movie produced for pure entertainment value.

It's also a bit of social commentary during the rise in the popularity of certain popular, mood-altering, prescription drugs of the day. ie: Valium, etc. There's themes of social conformism and State dominance, too, reaching far past modern sensibilities. (IMO)

Mila Kunis <3 I think I may have seen this already, but can't remember it too well since it was like 14 years ago

this is where I draw the line... You're recommending "the book of eli"?!? Wing Commander 1999!
