You liked the ending of Contact?? I thought it wrecked the movie.
But Jodie Foster's acting was awesome.
I liked the way it left things open. My memory is hazy, and I do recall that there was some God-related thing there that definitely I didn't like. I was merely referring to the part about the tape with thirty minutes of nothing...
Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!
I agree with Zkribbler: The ending to "Contact" sucked, and it totally destroyed Sagan's original meaning. I almost started yelling at the movie screen, I was so disappointed.
You guys have mentioned most of my favorites. So, I will just add a couple. Two of these are a little obscure, but are definitely worth seeking out.
A Clockwork Orange, this is classic sci-fi.
Liquid Sky, NYC's Repo Man. Actually Liquid Sky was out first and bears little similarity to Repo Man, other than it has a punk rock attitude.
The Man in the White Suit, this is an old Ealing Studios picture with Alec Guiness.
"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
—Orson Welles as Harry Lime

I had a problem with Matrix. I worked for so long printing photos I was VERY distracted by the green cast in the matrix world scenes. I tried to change the tint since nothing told me it was deliberate. Turns out I can't change the color on my Toshiba when I am using the component inputs.
Also, Dune , the Sci-Fi Channel remake (despite the sometimes cheap backgrounds). And, of course, Attack of the Clones . Okay, maybe not, but I just love that last battle scene with the clone army.
Wraith: I watch Anime every now and then. I watched Akira last Thursday/Friday and I was really disapointed. It was really good, but not as much as I had expected it to be. I also watched the Neon Genesis Evangelion series, which I have very mixed feeling about. I'm playing on getting End of Evangelion later this week.
But anyway for favorites:
Blade Runner
Rollerball (The Original)
Dune
"Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear
"At least there were some thoughts went into Apocalypse." - Urban Ranger
"Apocalype was a great game." - DrSpike
"In Apoc, I had one soldier who lasted through the entire game... was pretty cool. I like apoc for that reason, the soldiers are a bit more 'personal'." - General Ludd
What about the technology to extract our precious bodily fluids?
If it is, so is Jurrasic Park.
I consider the sci-fi...
"Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

The price is a little high for a DVD and shipping is really stiff at seven bucks. It does have English subtitle which is the way to go for foreign films in my view. I like to hear the actual actors instead of the dubbing. Dubbing loses so much nuance in tone unless the original actors do the dubbing.
Most DVD players nowadays are multi-region, or can be made multi-region by changing a chip. Certainly on this side of the atlantic a lot of people order american DVDs that otherwise would not be available...
