I could go on all day about

I could go on all day about great sci-fi and fantasy films. I've seen so many! Not to bring up a bad topic, but now there are so many easy and painless ways to get movies right at your computer without having to go anywhere. I've been stunned at how many extremely rare movies are easily found online. I guess that's why the MPAA and others are freaking out; movies have always been much harder to pirate in the past, though music and software has been easy.

Anyway, some more of my fantasy/sci-fi favorites include the Mad Max series (particularly Road Warrior), Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Last Starfighter, Tron, the Arnie movies (Running Man, Total Recall, Terminator, Predator), Ghostbusters, Blade Runner, Clash of the Titans, The Neverending Story, Princess Bride...All of those are great movies that are well worth watching today. When I was a kid I loved Baron Munchausen, but watching it again a few years ago just left me cold. I also love Army of Darkness and Evil Dead, though that's probably more horror than sci-fi/fantasy.

I'd be curious to know what people thought was the best Star Trek and Star Wars movies. Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan is my favorite by far. I like the original Star Wars the best, though Empire Strikes Back is also one of my favorites. The new Star Wars movies sucked in my opinion; at least when compared to the older ones. I don't even like the "updates" Lucas made; he lost his way a long time ago and should have left well enough alone.
