i love sci-fi books and movies. at least the good ones. i have recently taken to reading a lot of william gibson (the man who coined the term cyberpunk) ... really good stuff.
i have seen no man's land ... very good and very poignant. La Haine is even more so. was made in the early to mid 90s (before vincent cassel was a superstar and when mattheu kassovitz was a director not an actor). very prophetic and very meaningful
Have you ever seen the show Captain Scarlet?
the one with the thunderbird like puppets? i saw some episodes while they were doing re-runs on daytime tv.
The 1980's anime? And yeah I know that "Citizen Kane" was very influencial (I could even see some of its influences even after almost 70 years) but still I don't see why this is said to be "The Greatest Film of All-Time". It's like referencing "Yi-Air-Kung Fu" as the greatest fighting game of all-time.
The 1920's, black and white, silent German movie. It's fucking incredible still. I saw it in a theater a few years, and it blew my mind.
I too, have seen Citizen Kane. I was unfortunately enough to have been in a film class at Uni so I was forced to analyze it. Personally, it's not my favourite movie, but there are flashes of brilliance throughout the movie. And then there's the scene where Orson Welles destroys someones room - acting like Godzilla in the process. That scene is hilarious. I know I'm not supposed to laugh...but goddamn is that funny.

Yes, that one. There was a scene where they went to an hotel. But it was really a secret base. So they entered a lift shaft, but then the awesomeness began. The lift remained stationary while the whole building moved. I love all those crazy SF mechanics people come up with in the 60s.
