Hitchcock's Lifeboat, and most of the Caine Mutiny adaptations are pretty good

What are some good indie or little known sci-fi movies?

Dark City (not nearly as well-known as it should be; one of my all-time favorites) Ex Machina (may be too well-known by now, but it's amazing) Coherence In Your Eyes Cube The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension Triangle Humans (a British TV series, but it should still scratch that low-fi sci-fi itch)

Hard to calibrate "indie" and "little-known" for different people but you might like Under the Skin, Beyond The Black Rainbow, Primer, Upstream Color, Snowpiercer, The One I Love, Monsters and its sequel, Never Let Me Go, or The Lobster

Fair warning that this is hyper violent, bordering on torture porn. It's still really good though.

There are two (possibly three?) short scenes like that, and I think the movie could have been improved without them, honestly. I hate any kind of "torture porn" horror, but I enjoyed Cube as more of a psychological sci-fi thriller, almost existential. The looming sense of dread had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I watched it, but I could have done without those parts, and they turned my wife off the movie completely.

The reason I said indie or little known is because I've already seen all of the films suggested so far, with the exception of Never Let Me Go and In Your Eyes. All great suggestions thanks, but yeah I watch a lot of sci fi. monkey fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Jul 13, 2016 |

Never Let Me Go is an excellent adaptation of a haunting book. I can't say much without spoiling the ride, but it's a story that polarized my book club more than any other. Half of us absolutely loved it (myself included) and half of us absolutely despised it.

I just watched Never Let Me Go, and was wondering if it was based on a book from the 70s (google says the book is from 2005 though) Good movie, reminded me of Frequencies (2013) which has the same theme of childhood sweethearts in an alternate universe, only less depressing and weirder, you'd probably like it.

Cube would probably be PG-13 if it weren't for two relatively quick scenes and a bunch of F-bombs. Cube Zero, on the other hand, is pretty damned gory. (Cube 2 has no gore whatsoever, but is also pretty bad.)

How about some older stuff then? Silent Running, Andromeda Strain, Westworld, The Terminal Man, Rollerball (original), The Stuff, Q, The Fury, any of the three Quatermass movies ( The Quatermass Xperiment, Quatermass 2, Quatermass and the Pit). I know these aren't really indie or little known, but ones you might have missed.

Q has Michael Moriarity absolutely killing it as a strung out junkie too! Logan's Run and Dark Star I've found are YMMV kinds of movies. I've met a lot of people that hated them so I didn't list them. Some others in that category are COLOSSUS:The Forbin Project, Demon Seed, Damnation Alley, and Island of Terror.

Logan's Run owns, recommend it and let people with no appreciation for the finer things in life suffer.

Good ones mentioned so far. Here's a potentially disappointing list of more: Space/aliens here: Wings of Honneamise, Friendship's Death, Liquid Sky, The Cat, Save the Green Planet, Another Earth, Phase IV. Space/aliens there: Ikarie XB-1, The American Astronaut, The Whispering Star, Eolomea, The Big Mess. Time travel: Summer Time Machine Blues, The Little Girl Who Conquered Time (1983), Je t'aime je t'aime, Time of the Roses, Idaho Transfer. Mind experiments/psychic powers: School in the Crosshairs, August in the Water, Lathe of Heaven, Vanishing Waves. Some organisation/technology/disease making everyone miserable: Heroic Purgatory, The Lobster, Nabi, Dream City, La Antena, All Tomorrow's Parties, Born in Flames, Until the End of the World, Split. Post-apocalyptic (or at the time of): Spectres of the Spectrum, Slow Action, Morning Patrol, One Hundred Mornings, The Midnight After

Oh man, thanks for reminding me of The American Astronaut! Great, cool, weird sci-fi Western musical. Its sorta-sequel, Stingray Sam, is worth watching as well.

There's a big Spielberg retrospective going on and I've decided to go see the cool ones that I haven't seen yet. So far I'm thinking: Duel, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T.. Which (if any) of these others should I see as well? Temple of Doom, The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, Saving Private Ryan, A.I., War of the Worlds, Munich, Lincoln.

All of those are worth watching. But if you're short on time, the ones you definitely shouldn't miss are Saving Private Ryan and Munich.

People probably disagree, but I don't think they'd be violently opposed to my opinion that Lincoln is Spielberg's best film since Saving Private Ryan. Edit: to be honest the list of Spielberg films not worth seeing is a lot shorter than the the list of must sees. Air Skwirl fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jul 17, 2016 |
