The Epitome of Sci-Fi. Excellent Directing by Stanley Kubrick, groundbreaking special effects, one of the most chilling antagonists on the silver screen, and of course, excellent writing. - DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesIn the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned.*****TIED WITH 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY*****
This is my favorite film of all time.Take our Protagonist Alex, he is a vicious, twisted, psychopathic teenager who undergoes a new method used by the government to make him sick to his stomach whenever he thinks of bad thoughts. It questions if the government should have the responsibility to take our free will, something most people take for granted. It is one of the only movies that has changed me emotionally, and mentally. - DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonEdward FurlongA cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.*****SPECIAL EDITION*****
I prefer this over the first one, because it shows the human side, of the hulking cyborg played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Also has better writing, visuals, and a very scary antagonist played by Robert Patrick. Great Performance by Edward Furlong. - DirectorKatsuhiro ÔtomoStarsMitsuo IwataNozomu SasakiMami KoyamaA secret military project endangers Neo-Tokyo when it turns a biker gang member into a rampaging psychic psychopath who can only be stopped by a teenager, his gang of biker friends and a group of psychics.My favorite anime/animated film of all time.

- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsBruce WillisMadeleine StoweBrad PittIn a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.One of the only Virus/Epidemic movies I actually like (that and 28 Days Later). Amazing script and dialogue, and stupendous directing by Terry Gilliam.
