Spaced (1999)
Puts all US sitcoms to shame....
If there is one show you had to take with you to a deserted island, Spaced would be it. It sums up exactly how the minds of 20-somethings work. The fantasy world we would love to be in, but will never have. The only show to stand up to George Lucas and say that the phantom Menace was crap but at the same time cherish the magic of the first three.
Watch this show, try to count all the films and TV shows it mimics, and all the shows it references. 2001, Empire Strikes Back, The Matrix, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest, Scooby Doo, Robot Wars, Close Encounters and so many others.
The cast is top notch, and the writing is perfect. All I can say is "Roll on series 3"!!!
Logan's Run (1976)
Will people please *listen* to the plot, instead of picking at it!
So many comments here have said "Logan is a man, who up until now has killed many runners. It's now his 30th birthday, and he wants to run..." etc...
He is not thirty in the film. He was only 26. He was sent on a mission to find and destroy sanctuary outside the dome, and was deliberately made a runner.
The film, although it looks soo dated, is a wonderful sci-fi yarn about how a society run by machinery totally stagnates the human mind. Wonderful performances all round, especially Richard Jordan (Francis) as the "friend" who chases Logan all the way to Washington.
Don't watch the film, expecting a Star Wars epic. It was never going to compete with that film. But please listen to the plot. Many of you obviously haven't.
