[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 4490509, member: 14403"] I think pretty much everyone has listed the same movies that I would with one exception. I really liked the David Lynch's Dune. Yes... I know it wasn't as good as the book, truth be told most movies aren't. I thought Dune had a look and feel all it's own. Edit: Oh yeah... I forgot to add The Black Hole. I think Tron deserves a mention for the movie that really launched CGI into the public eye. I liked Minority Report and Paycheck for the same reason. Probably helped that they were written by the same author (who also wrote Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep aka Blade Runner). I liked Minority Report because ultimately it was a story about fighting against fate. Tom Cruise knew at the beginning that he would murder someone in the future but couldn't for the life of him figure out why until the event came to pass. Kinda like a reverse mystery. The same goes for Paycheck. To the OP... sorry but this discussion has turned to a list of movies we like and why we like them. My pick for the two defining movies would be Star Wars EP IV because it redifined the genre and Tron for the first real introduction to CGI. The book I am Legend defined the survival horror genre but I'd have to go with the Vincent Price in The Last Man on Earth for that one (though I think The Omega Man is more watchable) rather than the Will Smith movie.
