Mrs Vagabond likes sci-fi.
She likes Aliens and Close Encounters and Silent Running and Poltergeist and all shiz like that.

What sci-fi fillum do the panel recommend I get her as a lovely surprise present? I'd be interested in sincere recommendations of stuff that is quite obscure, but not manga, as "that's just cartoons".

Red Dwarf

Ugh.
Hate Red Dwarf. Don't get it, hate the Brittas Empire guy.

Moon?
I don't know if that's obscure enough.

Ah - good call - the sort of thing I'm after, but we've seen it.
But yeah - something a bit quirky and leftfield like that.

How's she on the genre classics, Blade Runner, 2001 etc?
I'd quite like to see Metropolis, one day.

Anything with Harrison Ford in is kept close to her heart and knickers.
2001 - I think we've seen. She's seen most of the classics (I'm easy - my televisual and cinematic knowledge is absolutely shit).

Pick out a couple of the older ones from here, I would.

Oo nice one - cheers.
Someone recommended THX the other day - that's going on the list.

How in God's teeth did Attack The Block get on that list?!

The original THX 1138 is awesome
Also, try John dies at the end.

Rather loose interpretation of sci-fi, I think
See also Three Colours: Red. Great film, but not sci fi.

Yer - that confused me, but I've not seen any of the Tricolore films.
We did rent all three once, and were going to totally watch them with our glasses on and everything, but then we kept finding old episodes of ... Masterchef or whatever, which seemed a little bit preferable.

Is it good, though? Isn't Brazil just a massive weird head-trip - a Gilliam classic of dystopian set pieces with no real cohesive thread?

nah, it's one of the best films ever
You just have to a) get the proper version and b) spot the hallucination. I wish I'd not lent my copy to someone, I can't even remember who it was
