Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Star Wars as silent movie.
The music in that is particularly awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From io9:
25 classic science fiction movies that everybody must watch
Methodology: We looked at a few different criteria, including overall cinematic excellence. We wanted to include films that were important to the development of the genre, and which had helped to raise the overall level of awesomeness in science fiction films. We also wanted to represent as many different types of films as possible. And we looked for films that had an original concept, or which were the first of their kind in some way.
But most of all, we looked for films that would represent science fiction well to a new audience and totally rock a neophyte's brain.
I've seen 22 of the 25.

I've seen 21. Missing Ghost in the Shell, Primer, District 9 and Moon. Of those, I have two on DVD and I think I DVRed Primer and burned it to disc.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I have seen 20. I'm pretty surprised. I usually only see half of "list" movies.
Does io9 have some kind of list biweekly or something?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
21. Have yet to see:
- Primer
- Moon
- District 9
- Forbidden Planet
Don't plan on seeing Forbidden Planet. Roll my eyes at Eternal Sunshine. Don't remember Tron.
