Very US-centric list but has a few interesting recs. Silent Running is underrated.

Interstellar rated below Robocop????

[–] livus@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is quite a strange list. Robocop but no Starship Troopers.

No Gattaca.

No 5th element? No Close Encounters

THAT'S IT, I'M CALLING SHENANIGANS!

There was close encounters. No Brazil. And children of men was criminally underrated.

I missed that, and absolutely agree on the other points.

Speaking of Brazil, have you seen Beau is Afraid? IMO it's this generations Brazil.

That's been on my watchlist for a while now. The Brazil comparison is enticing...

What are good sci-fi movies not US-centric?

[–] livus@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

@kratoz29 I partly meant the way they think the top 10-15 are US.

But yeah some films I'd include are Clockwork Orange, Alphaville, Mad Max, Brain Dead, The Quiet Earth, Okja, Brazil, Run Lola Run, Attack The Block, Threads, Accion Mutante, Videodrome.
