[QUOTE="payn, post: 9780460, member: 90374"] [B]Star Wars (A New Hope)[/B] Lucas pulled off a masterpiece here. It has myth and legend and the adventure story that was very pulp at the time combined with practical effects that blew the door off the imagination. Its impact across generations is obvious. I think much of the world building and move from practical effects has made SW the franchise a much smaller galaxy far away, but this original work launched it all and stands still today as a great launch into science fiction film. [B]Bladerunner[/B]. P.K. Dick gave us a collection of science fiction to pull from that asks more of the human psyche than what machines could man build. Scott did a great job of making a visually stunning film packed with ambiance with Dick's story. I think an example of a director and writing team not being faithful to a novel, but still doing it justice. [B]2001: Space Odyssey [/B]Probably a controversial pick, but 2001 is hall of fame science fiction. The effects at the time combined with ambiance, tense writing, mystery and philosophy, is just a film the leaves you thinking. Set a standard for science fiction of a less pulpy action flick sense. King Kubrick, what is left to say? [B]12 Monkeys[/B]. This fatalist tale is a journey and a half. Its beautiful, its sad, its mysterious, it hauntingly leaves you trapped replaying it over and over in your mind. Terry Gilliam at his best. [B]Dune[/B] [B]part II[/B] It's hard for me to pick just which D.V. science fiction film to choose for this assignment. So, im going with the grandest of them. Dune part II picks up where DV left off in the first half of the story.
