going to have to work on that recipe...

It worked even better than a remote controlled egg.  He should have followed it up, though, that was a good start but needed more to finish; he was too easily amused.

I agree

but the scene with all the Mr. Smiths could have been cut by 5 minutes or more and been just fine.

But the absolute brilliance with the movie lies with the speech made by the Architect (sp. sorry) The complete mind set of the Matrix and the way he delves into our own minds to explain it's exsistance was absolutely incredible.

I do have to see it again I think......

Yeah, it reminded me of "The Empire Strikes Back!"  The Franchise begins!

Spaceballs.  I'm surrounded by Assholes!

p.s. For the English majors who have emerged on the board, Assholes is a proper noun in this context and should be capitalized.  That quote is from Dark Helmet when he discovers that Major Asshole has hired all of his Asshole cousins.  May the Schwartz be with you.  

In no order:

1. The Thing from Another World (with James Arness).  Some of the tightest direction and dialog I've seen.

2. The Andromeda Strain.  Excellent adaptation from the book.  The scene with Dr. Hall fighting his way up the central core to disarm the nuclear self-destruct always leaves me breathless, no matter how many times I've seen the movie.

3. Alien.  Scared the s**t out of me.  Setting up Capt. Dallas as the hero, and then promptly killing him was inspired.

4. Aliens.  Not as scary as the first, but far more exciting.

5. Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman.  At least it was GOING to be a favorite, until I realized I wasn't going to be able to see up her nightie.  It should have been a clear shot.  Friggin' Hayes Commission.

I like all of yours. Here are some more of mine.

In alphabetical order:
  Abre los ojos
  Boy and His Dog
  Existenz
  Galaxy Quest (that's where I took my handle from)
  Groundhog Day
  Minority Report
  The Postman (Yes, I know nobody else in the known universe liked it)
  Stargate
  Strange Days
  The Terminator
  Terminator 2: Judgement Day
  Time After Time
  12 Monkeys

That's not including Fantasy, where I could add
  Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
  Lord of the Rings
  The Ninth Gate (Yes, I know I'm weird)
  Phantom of the Paradise
  The Stuntman

I'm sure there are a lot of great films that I've missed. This is just off the top of my head.

I'd like to ad a few...

The Fifth Element  
I wasn't sure If I liked it or not the first time I saw it: Chris Tucker annoyed me with over the top performance.  More fun on each viewing.

The Time Machine
The first one with Rod Taylor.  Hated the remake.

Them!  
You know, the one with the giant mutant ants that attack a small Nevada town.  I'm just kidding, but I know you saw it at least once also.  Or The BLOB, where this giant mutant space jelly attacks a small Nevada town and meets Steve McQueen.

Re:What are everyone's favorite Sci-Fi movies?

In no particular order:

Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan (the ONLY good Star Trek movie, IMHO)
Galaxy Quest
Mars Attacks
All the Terminator movies
All the Tremors movies
Alien
War of the Worlds (the original one)
Voyage Into Space (a low budget 60's Japanese Sci-Fi for kids that still cracks me up)
Robocop (I know, it glorifies LE)
Cherry 2000 (that was a fun one)
The Last Man on Earth (a Vincent Price movie remade and ruined as The Omega Man with Charlton Heston)

I could go on and on and still miss some good ones.
