I was reading this list of the 50 greatest sci-fi movies of the last 50 years, and it was all fairly predictable. There’s only a couple that I’d disagree with, but there were a few that would have made the list in place of them if I were compiling it myself, and I realised my additions were less mainstream or less critically acclaimed than were on there.
What guilty-pleasure sci-fi movies would you recommend?
For starters, ones I’ve watched a bunch of times would be:
Dredd (2012)
Pandorum (2009)
Lockout (2012)
Monsters (2010)
I read a while back that there was a much longer, far more gruesome version of the blood orgy scene that had to be cut because of how disturbing it was. I hate that sort of thing generally - I usually can’t watch horror without shitting myself - but the fact that it’s part of a film I loved makes me disappointed I won’t see it.
I’ve heard of that too, that the original film decayed in a vault or something. Pity. I’m not a torture porn fan or total gorehound myself, but I’d pay to see that footage just out of curiosity.
