Dark Star was on TV a few months ago, & is an influence on Alien & Red Dwarf among others.

Re: some of my favourite lesser known Sci fi films.

I went to our local cinema (the ABC) to watch Karate Kid 2 in 1986 but it was sold out so me and a friend went to watch the remake of the 1950's classic Invaders From Mars and I loved it, but what made it special was we were the only people watching, It was like having your own private screening

and fo4r all the sci fi geeks on here (me included) they are remastering 2001 and it will be released in cinemas soon - I cannot wait as I've never seen it on the big screen

Re: some of my favourite lesser known Sci fi films.

Good stuff mentioned here.

I'll also add Trancers and Trancers 2 for fave low-budget culty sci-fi (though 3 through 6 weren't up to much), and The Quiet Earth for some really haunting and thought-provoking New Zealand scifi...

The Quiet Earth is one of may all time faves. Surprisingly few have heard of it, let alone seen it.

YouTube full movie if anybody wants to see it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbUP9HBLgR8

Re: some of my favourite lesser known Sci fi films.

Watched a fairly good Alien ripoff movie this morning called Star Crystal from 1985 and also Monolith the other day from 1993 with Bill Paxton and John Hurt. It's about an alien that escapes from a military facility and jumps from body to body. Those that are infected have the ability to shoot beams from their eyes which vaporises everything in sight. The movie wouild have been good had it not been for the awful special effects. Last week I managed to see Light Blast (1985) with Erik Estrada (of CHIPS fame) as a police detective hunting a mad Soviet professor who threatens to destroy San Francisco with a laser gun unless he gets a huge amount of money.

+Starman starring Jeff Bridges & Karen Allen

+Wargames starring Matthew Broderick & Ally Sheedy

+DARYL starring Barratt Oliver

to name but three

I like a 3 of them, Starman used to be on BBC1 on Saturday nights about 9 months in the 1990s.

Wargames is really good, it was one of the first DVDs I got.

It's been years since I saw DARYL but the bit when he steals a Lockheed Blackbird is really good.

Dark Star with the dead captain they asked questions of freaked me out, although the music and song were great (I'm young and now you're old) as well as the voice of the bomb LOL
