 what are some of your favourite sci-fi movies of all-time?

looking for something to watch 
 5th element 
 Was gonna say this^, (original) space jam, and galaxy quest

Then there are the obvious ones like spaceballs and thumb wars 
 Prometheus!!! 
 but just ignore the stupid decisions of the characters, focus on the touch of holiness from Ridley Scout 
 > stupid decisions of the characters.
too real 😅 
 hahaha can't even watch their stupid faces when horrible things happen 
 Quite enjoyed Covenant 
 Covenant is good, just not that mind blowing as Prometheus 
 It was my first Alien movie, but I'll go back to the others 🫡 
 Depending on what type of person you are you'll enjoy different alien movies way more and less then others. 

I'm an original alien guy. Most people are aliens 2 people.  
 Rarely will you ever meet an aliens 3 person

And if you ever meet an avp2 person run because I'm pretty sure they're just lurking you into their murder room. 🤷🏽 
 alien 1 and 2 are classics, 3 and 4 are junks 
 Aliens 3 is mega junk and it shouldn't be

Wtf were you smoking David Fischer because you were fucked up good

I also believe that film started his obsession with yellow filters ulgifying beautiful films 🤷🏽 
 🤝 
 The matrix, Arrival 
 love The Matrix so much 💜 
 Johnny Mnemonic is so fun 
 interstellar 
 absolute classic, the scoring by hans is class 
 it's a mad mad mad mad world 
 it's old school long but great for parties with stamina and women 
 Prometheus and Covenant 
 Gattaca is worth to watch.
