The 75 spaceships thread talk about Battle Beyond the Stars popped some movie into my head and before I could get to a computer to look it up I forgot it!
Space Truckers? No...
Ice Pirates? No...
Wing Commander...maybe...but no

I can't remember! Something almost surely from the 80's, or there about.
We're not talking "movie greatness" here, but in the "fun to watch" category where most of my movies reside. Surely a B movie.

Thoughts? Good thread to fill up the Netflix queue with.

I assume you are thinking of movies that are obscure to the general public? The ones that come to my mind are Darkstar, Silent Running, Outland and Capricorn One.

The Quiet Earth comes to mind...but it is not what one could call "space based"

I think Moontrap is what I was trying to remember. Walter Koenig and Bruce Campbell. It's not on dvd that I can see though.
