favs
The Lost World (1925) - Silent film version of a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story. Similar to king Kong but with a dinosaur in London.
Kosmicheskiy reys: Fantasticheskaya novella [Cosmic Journey] (1935) - Communists go to the moon, lovely Soviet silent film made to encourage the young to get into space studies.
A Journey to the Beginning of Time (1955) – Four boys go on a journey back in time to the prehistoric era. Beautiful film with great effects.
This Island Earth (1955) – Aliens with big foreheads come to earth to recruit our scientists.
Kronos (1957) – An energy sapping alien arrives on earth.
The Deadly Invention (1958) – A Jules Verne story done in Karel Zeman’s distinctive visual style.
The Creation of the Humanoids (1962), B Movie sets, B-Movie acting but with a plot that pre-empts Philip K Dick.
The Year of the Sex Olympics (1968) – A TV producer in a dystopian future comes up with the concept of a TV show where people are filmed 24 hours a day.
Morel's Invention (1974) – a man washes up on an island where time seems to be stuck in a 24 hour loop. Italian sci-fi based on a novel by Argentinian writer Adolfo Bioy Casares.
The Lathe of Heaven (1980 TV Movie) – A doctor tries to control a man whose dreams can alter reality.
Man Facing Southeast (1986) – Argentinian film that is like an original version of K-Pax, although the writer of K-Pax claims he had never heard of it before.
Konets vechnosti [End Of Infinity] (1987) – adaptation of Isaac Asimov novel, like most soviet sci-fi from that time it’s mostly people in dark rooms having long conversations but sticking with it is rewarding.
The Hidden (1987) – Kyle Maclachlan chases a shape shifting alien around LA. Fantastically fun 80s action film that doesn’t seem to get mentioned that often.
Harrison Bergeron (1995 TV Movie) – A man in future where everyone is equal decides it’s rather *beep*
Paprika (2006) – Anime about a psychologist trying to track down a machine that makes peoples dreams become physical reality.
The Man from Earth (2007) – On the day of his retirement a man tells his work colleagues that he is 14,000 years old. Can he prove it to them?
