i disagree about 12 monkeys. it was good. it's also similar to donnie darko. the french film it's based on is also good (la jetee i think it was called). and watch jacob's ladder just for the context re donnie darko.
i also disagree about jurassic park, it fits into this genre simply because it was a rewrite of westworld, which is a great sci-fi film.
and i liked mulholland drive too.
and twin peaks, buy the dvd box set for hours and hours of stuff that fits into this category.
there was once a series/extended movie produced by oliver stone called 'wild palms' which fits perfectly into this category.
if you liked existenz, you'll probably like videodrome & someone already mentioned naked lunch.
and i didn't like AI, but i did like that other spielberg sci fi thing that i can't remember oh yeah that was it minority report. and that fits into this category, doesn't it?
but!!! seeing as everyone is dissing films, i hated the matrix, it was a waste of space. its the best example of style over content i can think of. and what little content there was made no sense at all. why do the robots have to put these people in the matrix? just hook them up to the machines, sap their energy and have done with it. but how come they need energy from humans anyway? can't they just use the energy that powers the machines that enslave humanity? and how are those people running that spaceship? where do they get the energy for that from? and what about these agents that have to go into the matrix to get stuff done? if the matrix is just this computer program, why don't they just disconnect the troublemakers from the system from outside? all important questions that need answering before i can get on with my daily life.
hopefully chris cunningham will get his act together one day and make neuromancer.

Did anyone mention:
Jacob's Ladder?
real good flick :)
- dopepope0
I agree wity CatJRbR or whatever the hell the name is...
All those points are valad. And another thing...if what you look like in the matrix is your 'residual self image' or 'how you see your self' then why do they look identical outside of the Matrix.
And if the holodeck can produce anything, why do they always wear costumes into the holodeck. (I know it's STAR TREK not MATRIX but it's annoying just the same)

la jetee was a peice made with only b/w stills in the 1940s I thought
ok I do take it back,
only 50% of 12 monkeys was ass.Moholland Drive 200% ass.
I'm assuming the poster is looking for a dark scifi thiller. one that makes ya say 'damn'
- kerus0
i cant believe i left out Jacob's Ladder.. thats in my top 5 favorite movies of all time..
"stopp ittt yourr killlingg mee!!"

I wouldn't call Mulholland Drive sci-fi, but I really liked it. I can't see why people have such strong reactions to it either. You have to watch it a couple times, then it makes sense.
