Sorry. Be prepared for a story:
I rented This is Spinal Tap today. I get home, have dinner, make some popcorn, sit down and I'm about to put the movie in. It is about 8:40 pm. The power goes out. I'm angry. I go outside to see if any powerlines are down. Nothing. It wasn't raining, there were no car accidents. Nothing. I have to light candles and read books for two hours before we get power. Needless to say, I haven't watched it yet.

[euchomai]

Alien, or anything produced or directed by Ridley Scott

Watch Dead Alive, but get the unedited version (aka Braindead). It's worth it just for the lawnmower scene. The R version cut too many of the good parts of that movie out.

[His Dudeness]

A.I. - Probably the best sci-fi made.
American Beauty - the best movie ever made, in my humble opinion.
The Butterfly Effect - have not seen a movie this freaky since Vanilla Sky, which I can also recommend.

Oh, and The Big Lebowski.

[DoGoodDrugs]

just saw it the other day and thought it was great, i would recommend it to everyone.

[RiSE]

The butterfly effect was a great idea for a movie, i wish they had another lead actor. Although asston did a better job then i though he was going to, i think a diffrent lead would have made the movie more appealing to other ppl.

[DeathToWindows]

Dune - the 1984 production, NOT the pos that the SciFi channel made in 2000
Minority Report - amusing, great effects
Amelie - french film, subtitled, but wonderful

[orbital~debris]

Some excellent films I've seen fairly recently:

The Dreamers
Equilibrium
The Last Samurai
Lost In Translation
Thirteen
Secret Window
Stuck On You
Runaway Jury
Spirited Away
Mean Girls

Heaven
Moulin Rouge
Cruel Intentions
Daredevil
Antitrust

Yeah, I enjoyed it too. Very dark comedy. End was a bit sad, but I guess that's war.

[cacarr1]

Goodfellas
Godfather 1 & 2
Shawshank Redemption


I also thought Cold Mountain was really good.

BTW...The San Juan Islands are the best! I interned there on San Juan (@ the Lime Kiln lighthouse) back in '97 studying the whales and haven't been able to stop thinking about the islands since.
Beautiful place...

I'm going to recommend Donnie Darko for a rather psychological "thriller" I really liked it. I'm also a big Jake Gyllenhaal fan.

are you kidding me? I absolutely HATED that movie.

[SafariX]

Bladerunner (good sci-fi).
Legends of the Fall (I know, its a chick flick, blah blah)
12 Monkeys
28 Days later

Minority Report

Few more:
About a Boy (funny)
Rat Race (hilarious)
Finding Nemo

[Powaqqatsi]

If you like cheesy sci fi:
Total Recall
Soldier (could have been decent with a bigger budget)

Donnie Brasco
Life as a House
River Runs Through It
Boondock Saints

[hyperb0le]

Rat Race (John Cleese, John Lovitz = Awesome)

One Hour Photo (Robin Williams is very good in this, and it's a pretty decent thriller)

Meet the Parents (Yes, it's Ben Stiller's cookie cutter character, but it's still hilarious)
