Starship Troopers definitely does not belong on the list. Let's replace it with Daywatch/Nightwatch.

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.

I've seen 'em all, geek that I am.
Bit of a cheat to mix in the SF and the Fantasy, I think. Especially in a short list like that.
How do you stack something like Moon or Videodrome up against Princess Bride?

I've seen all but Alphaville. I'll have to remedy that. Solaris only half counts for me, because I've only been able to partially stay awake through both versions. They're both a little ponderous for me (though I know that was the point). But I've seen enough of both, most of the important bits, to get the idea.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I finally saw Up in the Air. I really enjoyed it although I can't help thinking that Alex represents the concept that only a woman who is cheating can be independant when it comes to relationships. I try to keep from letting individual characters represent ideas that perhaps the film makers did not intend. Maybe I'm mad because I really liked Alex and I didn't see her deception coming.
Also I think I need to stop watching opening credits. I went in thinking, "wow, JK Simmons and Sam Elliott," then I spent a lot of the movie wondering when they would show up.
Did anyone else feel that the Sam Elliott scene was a dream sequence? Maybe it was the lighting. I also didn't feel that they utilized him to the best of his abilities. Maybe the subtlety of the scene was lost on me.
Now I need to watch The Golden Compass.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is Frogs (1972) worth watching?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Is that the one where all the swamp animals start trying to kill people?
