Film suggestions

Right then, here's my list of possible sci-fi and fantasy film combinations that
could form the basis of a video evening. It grew a bit bigger than I intended
but hopefully there'll be somethere here that people like. I've tried to come up
with a mix of new blockbusters and old classics that some people will
undoubtedly not have seen. I'm sure that people will be able to add lots more
films to the categories I've come up with.


Indiana Jones films

Aliens films

Star Wars films

Terminator films. You could also add the classic Saturn 3 which is also a
Terminator type film.

Highlander films

Robocop films

Lawnmower Man films

Mad Max films

Back to the Future films

The Fly films

Planet of the Apes films

Crow films

Comedies e.g. DarkStar, Space Balls, Weird Science, Beetlejuice.

Vampire films. Done many times I know but there are a fair few Vampire films
around so I'm sure we could get together some good ones. These could include
2, classic Hammer Horror, Nosferatu, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Vampyr and loads
more.

Werewolf Films e.g. The Howling, Wolf, American Werewolf in...

Devil Films e.g. Devil's Advocate, Rosemary's Baby, The Omen, Legend

Alien Invasion / Infiltration e.g. They Live, Invasion of the Body Snatchers,
The Invaders

Stop Motion type films e.g. Jason and the Argonauts, Sinbad etc.

Meteor films e.g. Deep Impact, Armageddon, erm

Comic Strip / Superhero films e.g. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, Spawn, The
Shadow, etc.

Godzilla films

Normal bloke doffs suit / powered armour / plasma turret and saves Universe
films e.g. The Last Starfighter, Tron, Flash Gordon.

Nasty beasts films. We shouldn't be short of these. Some examples might be the
Tremors films and the Gremlins films. Also Breeders, Phase 4, ET, Critters and
Thingies (just kidding).

Arny Sci-Fi & Fantasy e.g. Running Man, Total Recall, Predator films, Red Sonja,
Conan films,

Dodgy remakes of old scifi and comics e.g. Lost in Space, Judge Dredd.

Dark Futuristic Society films e.g. Gattaca, Brazil, 1984, Dark City, 12 Monkeys,
Blade Runner.

Classic Sci-Fi e.g. Silent Running, Outland, Logan's Run, Dune, 2001, 2010,
Barbarella (oh come on...), The Black Hole, Close Encounters of the Third Kind
plus a million others.

Cyperpunkish / Computery (is that a word?). I think that might include Strange
Days (which I haven't seen), Johnny Mneumonic, The Net (maybe not).

General Recentish Sci-Fi films e.g. Fifth Element, Contact, Mercury Rising (just
out on DVD), Face Off, Demolition Man,

Princess Bride. It's that good it deserves it's own category. We could make it a
trilogy by showing it three times in a row.


That's all folks.

Near Dark

It's the bollocks. Add it to your list of Vampire films.

"The Hunger" ain't bad either.

I like these themes, actually. And you'd probably get a fair few folk turning
up to a goth-style film night, of, say, "The Crow", "Near Dark" and "The
Nightmare before Christmas" (to name but three).

You too, can stay up all night, watching Blade Runner, Batman, and Beetlejuice.
The wearing of black would, of course, be expected.

(Ok, I'm sure some REAL goths out there can come up with gothier films, but it
was just an idea. There's a few goth film lists on the web, including a fair
number of old B&W films I've not seen, and maybe should have.)
