What are some good horror/sci-fi movies??

What are some good horror/sci-fi flix?? I really dont have many of those in my collection. Of course I have Alien, The Thing, Predator (if you count that), Faculty..... And dont recommend Jason X. I remember liking Species and the Blob but it was a long time ago so i dont know if I will like it now.

PS. Im waiting for Invasion of the Body Snatchers from Netflix.

My goodness! There are hundreds and hundreds of good movies to watch.

These suggestions come to mind offhand, and don't necessarily represent "the best" in my mind, just a smattering of good titles you might like to check out.

Science Fiction: Forbidden Planet, The Time Machine (original), Westworld, Timerider, Cocoon.

Horror: The Haunting (original), Night of the Living Dead (original),
Dawn of the Dead (original), House on Haunted Hill (original), 13 Ghosts (original), The Blob (original).

I think you actually wanted films that are both science fiction and horror, and some of these films fit into both categories like that.

I thought "Terminator II" was a good science fiction/horror crossover that delivered the goods. So was the first film, but the sequel cranked the horror up to full with the T-1000 character. Pretty nasty stuff, if'n you think about it!

If you´re into Science fiction horror, you should definitely look up "Event Horizon".;)

STARSHIP TROOPERS.

After a dodgy first half hour this film is then an absolute rip roarer.
When I saw this at the cinema the special effects and action blew me away.Plenty of gore too.

Starship Troopers was very good.....however..

do not, and I repeat... do not rent or buy the second Starship Troopers, it is incredibly bad, and I'm not messing about. It does the first one, absolutely no justice what-so-ever, it doesn't compare. You will waste your money and time watching it. Of all sequals I have ever watched, this has to be the biggest letdown continuation of a series.

No seriously, that explains why no one from the original is in it.


Shanks for the warning, dude.;)

I actually bought Starship Troopers 2...

It's like a bad "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"
It's fun, a cool lil' B-movie.

I recommend it for a laugh.
