No, I am your father (best quote ever) 2. The force is with you, young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet 3. Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-Wan has taught you well All appear to be Vader though :) Ok, three quotes from Empire, here goes:

It takes me back into sci-fi wilderness. Won't want argue with you on any of silly issues of accuracy, its more fun to just relive its glory & moments beyond your & my imagination. Especially Matrix, my personal favrite. Thanks for that. Your list is terrifically nostalgic. It takes me back into sci-fi wilderness.

Did you know that when astronauts go into space and come back that their time pieces are behind ours? It's like the principle of driving in a car; if you've ever paid attention, the closer things are to you, the faster they appear to be going. Time actually moves slower when you're in a car than when you're outside. If you set the clock in your car a minute ahead of the time on your watch and drive for two weeks, you'll notice that the time will be the same, or pretty close to it. That's why. Want more science? I have a lot more I can impart. ;) E = M.C. Hammer; now that's funny! Hi Steve,

Just because Einstein said speed of light travel is impossible, doesn't mean it is (past scientists have been wrong about a lot of things). And failing that, there might be methods of bending space or other ways to accomplish interstellar travel that - if I thought about them too hard - would pop a blood vessel in my eye. E = M.C. Hammer Speed of Light Travel = "Can't touch this!" So that aspect of Sci-Fi, to me, is the easiest to believe. Aliens that look like hot human babes..? Not so much. :) *gasp*

I mean, if I looked at things that way, then every movie we've ever seen that has anything coming from another planet, or outer space at all, would have to be scrapped, since we all know Einstein's principles disallow almost any real space travel and coming back to our own time, especially if we try to leave our own solar system.

Course, if you created your own list, I'm sure I'd be able to come by and trash some of your choices. I've never liked Blade Runner, and I already explained to someone else why Alien isn't on the list. That's why this world is a great place; we can all like what we want to like.

Finally, someone else who agrees with me! LOL But, as Mitch alluded to, I guess it depends whether they're ranked by "feel good" and enjoyable or "believable" and enjoyable SciFi. I recall really liking Independence Day when I first saw it, but subsequent viewings were less enjoyable as my suspension of disbelief was strained to the point of aneurysm. :) re: Independence Day.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the movie, and I'm still not entirely sure why (aside from the hot starlet) but agree with Doug that you should def grab the HD version and give it a whirl.
