THAT ISNT SCIFI!!!!!!
Thank you, Ted. That was the joke.
If only Bungie made sci-fi movies....
No one here has really mentioned good action movies. I'ma name some.
Payback: In my humble opinion, Mel Gibson's best pure action flick (Braveheart doesn't count, and even though I love the Lethal Weapon series, they don't have Hendrix in their soundtrack). Snappy dialogue, an absurdly entertaining plot, killer soundtrack, and some very clever Mel Gibson-related violence make this movie rock.
The Transporter: A slightly -blam!- sounding techno soundtrack (sorry...not much of a techno fan here) was the only real setback in this movie for me. Awesome guns, sweet fight scenes, and a cool main character who has a sweet car=great popcorn flick.
Die Hard: sorry, y'alls, but to me, this is the undisputed king of all action movies (along with its sequels). Bruce Willis is totally badass, and the scene in the first movie where he kills the guard, dresses him in a Santa suit, and sends him down the elevator to the German bad guys with the message "Ho ho ho now I have a machine gun" is priceless. Hail to the king.
Bleh, can't remember any more off the top of my head.
Starship Troopers, if handled under a better director, woulda been the best sci-fi flick out there. Unfortunately, it was more cheesy than cool (why, in the name of all that's sacred and holy, would the most highly trained elite squad of Marines use mass fighting tactics? C'mon! The director was in the Dutch Royal Marines for two years, you'd think he'd know how to make soldiers fight like they're supposed to!), but I still like it. But, Aliens takes the cake as far as Sci-fi movies go. So...freaking...awesome...
