Who would have guessed that this movie ended the way it ended? Also the atmosphere and neo-noir tone of the film was great.

>I put the subject line into the name field.
fuck me.

>12 Monkeys
>hidden gem
uh

Not a hidden gem. Watch La Jetée, then Vertigo. Those are not hidden, readily available.

>>85690487
Well it was hidden from me.
>>85690516
Thanks for the suggestions

>>85689326
How the fuck is 12 monkeys a hidden gem? It is a fucking Terry Gilliam movie, starring Bruce fucking Willis and Brad fucking Pitt. All of them quite prolific people at what they do.

This is the only movie where I didn't get secondhand embarrassment from Brad Pitt's acting.

Dark City

>Same director from Brazil, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail
WTF how did I miss this?

Is Stargate 1994 worth watching?

Predator 2. Overshadowed by the Arnie classic, it's still a good film.

Isn't this written by L Ron Hubbard, the guy that founded scientology?

Pic related is probably the biggest cult classic of 90's scifi movies. Universally panned by critics, for reasons they praise other movies, like people just working in space like it is mundane job and so on. It crashed and burned at box office, it didn't even get theatrical release in most markets. Essentially a 60 million budget film (adjust for inflation and the death of medium budget movies, it would be like 150 million movie today with another 100 million spent on marketing) that went directly to video in most markets.

While some of fanboys are devastated as fuck by reduction of gore to keep age ratings down and raw footage of it being lost, there is apparently some VHS footage around of that. Company line of keeping gore limited to flashing really fast does actually work for horror aspect. The thing you fear most is the thing you don't know.

>>85691059
Yes. It isn't a masterpiece on any level, but it led to something better, a TV-show where the setting could be elaborated in more detail. Decent flick, nothing special, but worth watching.

>>85691614
Hubbard wrote some good pulp scifi novels that made fun of scifi conventions.

12 Monkeys was based on Chris Marker's script/narrative for La Jetee which is amazing film and Marker is amazing essayist

I highly rec. him mate.Not scifi, not neo-noir, film essays.

As for neonoirs my recent favorite is Killer Joe if it counts. I dont think it does.

>>85691059
If you like SG. It's not a good film on its own.

>>85691585
Worth watching if you like bad movies.
>>85691614
Yep.

>>85691720
Liking badfilms is a legit thing though. The Room for example.

>>85691680
I loved event horizon. That movie is 100% nightmare inducing.
>>85691706
Not really, I remember watching a few episodes as a child.
>>85691751
I don't know how people actually like that film.

>>85691680
Event Horizon is my favourite movie, I don't even like the Horror genre in general.

>>85691059
Yes.

>>85691459
You've probably seen Gattaca, right?

I always thought this one was boring.

I have seen plenty of Italian barbarian and post apocalyptic scifi movies from late 70's and early 80's.

Bruce Willis:
Blind Date
Mortal Thoughts
Death Becomes Her

90s Sci-Fi:
Flatliners (great cast, really good movie)
I Come in Peace (Dolph Lundgren)
The Handmaid's Tale (good movie, unlike the new tv series adaptation)
Moon 44 (this was really good)
Body Snatchers (Gabrielle Anwar. I liked it a lot)
Screamers (the sequel is worth a single watch)
The Arrival (Charlie "WINNING" "NOT AFFRAID OF AIDS" Sheen)
Anything made by Albert Pyun
Soldier (Kurt Russell)

Time travel:
Freejack
The 2 Hammer Doctor Who movies (unrelated to the tv series. This Who is a human played by peter Cushing)
Time After Time
The Masters of Time (animated movie)
Somewhere in Time (I always cry at the end. No homo)

>>85692456
Thanks man, that's a pretty comprehensive list. I going to be swamped with movies to watch for a while.

>The Arrival
I watched it this year, it wasn't great but it was a "spin" on the conventional alien invasion movie.

>>85692561
There's a sequel. It's... not worth your time.

Freejack isn't great either, and it's with Sheen's brother (and a wild Mick Jagger), but the idea of it is very interesting and a twist on the usual time travel movies.

>>85692756
I like movies with a "twist". It's great to see M.N Shyamalan is "back".

>>85691989
I did. This one and League of Extraordinary gentlemen are really good

>>85691261
>50 first minutes
>ZZZzzzzz
>the rest
>Wha? I wasn't sleeping! Dammit, shit is awesome!

>>85691059
Yes, mind you that the movie goes into a drag for 30 minutes or so after the first half an hour.

>>85694730
Need more stuff like this. I'd say Van Helsing fits here too.

>>85689326
Fuck yeah that movie is great. Watch Primer for another time travel gem.

>>85695266
I dunno, it seems needlessley complex
