I've been trying really hard to watch sci/fi movies and record the best/most thought-provoking. But there are so many great ones I just haven't seen. Here is my top-of-the-head guess as to the best science fiction mvoies I haven't seen:
1. Road Warrior
2. The Manchurian Candidate
3. Altered States
4. Destination Moon
5. Island of Lost Souls
6. The Mind of Mr. Soames
7. Existenz
8. La Planete Sauvage
9. Evangelion 1.0: You are not alone
10. On the beach

On the beach I can't be sold that brainwashing or the use of a hypnotic "trigger" phrase as seen in The Manchurian Candidate is SF.Even at the time the book was written |

Are you saying it's possible or not ? Just clarifying. Brainwashing I guess is possible.Hypnotic trigger words? Thats an old chestnut used many many times.A Charlie Chan film used it as it's basis and no one ever thought that movie was science fiction.Its like saying hypnosis is science fiction By the way-definitely see the movie.The original,not the Denzel remake |

I read a book on that very subject years ago. Looked down upon, not too dissimilar from the dark arts, but yes with conditioned reinforcement, political movements have used pieces like this before undercover until their trigger word takes them back to that intense training on they're on auto. I think it has happened and will continue. This is one way assassins are utilized.

Great time to be a film fan. 1990 had Home Alone as the top grossing movie so I guess it wasn't your cup of tea. But also Total Recall, Goodfellas,and Dances with Wolves. Wolves was a very good movie. |
