The Thing (1982)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/
A favourite director of ours John Carpenter (did anyone say Escape from New York?) delivers as always in this classic remake.A research facility in Antarctica comes across an alien force that can become anything it touches with 100% accuracy.

Battlestar Galactica (1978 and more)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077215/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4

Bladerunner (1982)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/?ref_=nv_sr_2
THE sci-fi movie and likely Ridley Scott’s and Harrison Ford’s masterpiece.

A blade runner must pursue and try to terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator. Based on Philip K. Dick’s novel Does Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and yes sometimes it’s worth picking up a book.

The movie also includes what has become one of the most classic quotes in movie history:
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain… Time to die.”

 

Gattaca (1997)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Pitch Black (2000)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134847/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Vin Diesel (almost) never disappoints and definitely not in this prequel to now classic The Chronicles of Riddick.

A commercial transport ship and its crew are marooned on a planet full of bloodthirsty creatures that only come out to feast at night. But then, they learn that a month-long eclipse is about to occur. *shiver*
So there you are, enough of inspirational movies to keep your trembling little heart still until the release of Prey om May 5th.
