Silent Running?

Love Silent Running. I like my sci-fi dark and depressing.

Dark Star is required viewing for sci-fi fans, Panzer. =)

Dark Star is a little gem. Directed by John Carpenter and written by Dan O'Bannon (who also starred). Plus it was the inspiration for Red Dwarf. I need to check that out again soon,thanks for the reminder Blastman.

One thing that caught my attention about "Darkstar" is the scene where one of the guys has the "fast knife between the fingers trick" done on one of his hands. I guess James Cameron was a big fan of that movie so he included the same knife trick in "Aliens".

Also notable (but not very non-obvious) is that the entire crew of Dart Star were pretty much stoned as hell during the entire taking of the film, ... legend alleges. Which explains some of the more silly scenes just nicely.

Battle Beyond Space

Decline of the 6th Fleet

Planet of the Vampires

X-The Unknown

Under the Skin

I couldn't find this one on IMDB. Did you mean "Battle Beyond the Stars"?

The Quiet Earth (1985)

I loved The Quiet Earth!

Great movie. Kinda reminded me of "Night of the Comet," which was neat.

Sorry, had a brain cramp,

Battle in Outer Space (1959)

City of Lost Children (1995)

City of Lost Children was pretty good, too.

Someone mentioned a John Carpenter film. I've never seen Darkstar but I love John Carpenter's The Thing which is already mentioned. That being said I just recently watched again after many years "Village of the Damned", the remake. I was surprised to see that it was also a John Carpenter production. Seeing it a second time I think its pretty good. A beautiful setting and it also made me miss those kinds of movies from the 90s. It almost had a made for tv movie film which it may have been, I don't know. Something really went missing though with many movies after the 90s. The movie also reminds me of how much I miss Christoper Reeve. Speaking of him there's also "Somewhere In Time" but that feels out of place in this thread though it does have to do with someone who wills themselves across space and time and travels back to the past.

These are old movies but 'The Monolith Monsters' is different. One of my faves is 'Earth vs. the Flying Saucers'. Don't forget 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'!

...not a "film", but a very enjoyable (British) TV series that may be worth mentioning: "Torchwood"

I hope you mean the original. The re-make with Keanu Reeves was dreadful.

Yes it was

"Jupiter Ascending" was about 20 times worse than the "Day the Earth Stood Still" remake.

Yeah,that was a shame really about JA. I really like Mila Kunis but that thing stank to high heaven. CGI overload.
