The Thing (The new one was also very good!)
2001 space odyssey (though it does go on, it is a classic!)

Batteries Not Included was an awesome movie.

The best movie here which has zero special effects but has a gripping story is 'The Man from Earth'. Do yourself a favor, watch this one.

^Hands down, one of the best movies I've ever watched.

I'd also recommend The Cell. I remember watching it recently and was very good too, though it's somewhat cheesy end.

And a guilty pleasure one - The Last Starfighter (since we are playing a game along a same principal :) )

Have to agree on that one! Remember borrowing a VHS tape from a friend when I was younger with that movie and another called The Cat from Outer Space on it. Haven't seen the cat movie for atleast 20 years so no idea what I would think of it today, but I really liked it back then.

At least it has the submarines in space -aspect going for it. I especially like the: "Everyone don't make a noise, so that far away spaceship doesn't hear us talking and drop depth charges in our crater." - scene. Every EVE player should feel right at home.

I'm not entirely sure how to handle this. On one side Robocop is a damned good movie, but on the other hand Independence day is awful. Me and my dad had to crawl out of the living room out of embarrassment during the independence speech. But what the hell, I give your post a like anyway :-)

Thread will probably be moved, but anyway... Fifth Element was pretty awesome. I would say it's my favorite. I also love Super 8. The way J.J. Abrams caught the feeling of youth in that movie was pretty cool, almost as good as the way Stephen King makes you remember how being a kid was in his books.
