What Sci-fi/fantasy/horror Do You Watch/read?

[TheUnknown 39]

Other than Star Wars, what other science-fiction, fantasy, or horror movies, books, or shows do you watch or read

Here's my list:

Stargate: SG-1

Transformers (First Generation, Beast Wars, and Beast Machines)

Lord of the Rings

Stephen King novels (The Shining, IT, Bag of Bones, etc)

[Andy 60]

Jurassic Park! My first true favourite movie!

Then later I discovered the likes of Terminator 2, Total Recall, and Back to the Future.

I only found LotR last year when my sister made me watch the DVD of TTT. lol

In books, I'm a Michael Crichton fan. But I don't read much now, besides SW.

On TV, I like a bit of Stargate, and some other stuff that I haven't seen for years... *wonders what happened to it all*

[Drake 53]

Let's see...

- Star Trek (movies, series and books)

- Stargate SG-1

- Lord of the Rings

- Back to the Future

My brain is still partially asleep...that's all I can think of at the moment, lol.

Lost World was good..

[MsSolo 1]

Best film I've seen? The Day the Earth Caught Fire. This is what happens when the person I babysit for doesn't come back til 3 in hte morning - I end up watching BBC's "like anyone's watching at this time of night" schedules, which include a lot of SciFi.

Anyway, it's black and white and bloody scary. Brilliant ending. Possibly going to be remade soon, though maybe under a less 60s title.

Shows:

Buffy (hey, it's fantasy with SF elements!)

Enterprise, sometimes.

Books:

anything I can get my hands on. Special love for Isaac Asimov. Nostalgic affection for LotR (and stubborn pride for reading the Silmarililion). More SF than Fantasy orientated these days, though still reading trashy vampire novels that I'm not even sure I enjoy (Laurell K Hamilton, Anne Rice etc).

[Ender 8]

TV: Stargate SG-1 is really the only thing I watch on TV. I'm not much for TV.

Books: Matthew Stover, Michael A. Stackpole, Kevin J. Anderson, Timothy Zahn.

[Roethlisberger 0]

Books: LOTR (and all things Middle Earth), Philip Pullman, Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Orwell, and many others.

TV: None.

Movies: Plenty. Close Encounters, ET, LOTR, The Day the Earth Stood Still, James Bond (sorta goes in this category), Alien and Aliens, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Young Frankenstein, Silence of the Lambs, Psycho (horror) and other Hitchcock films like Vertigo and Rear Window, The Wizard of Oz, Spaceballs, Back to the Future, etc.

[Princess 35]

Heroes Die and Blade of Tyshalle by Matt Stover

I also have the LOTR books on my table to read. Whenever I get the time to.

[CorSec 5]

Books: The Ender Series. And the Bean series. Good books. It seems someone on GB may also have read them...once...or twice :p

[Ender 8]

Fantastic books.

[Mara 29]

Yeah, Beeurd!

Michael Crichton is awesome!

Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Prey, Timeline, Sphere, The Andromeda Strain, Rising Sun, .... I've read a lot. : )

[Andy 60]

Whooo!

Is the movie of Sphere any good, do you know? I saw it on DVD and was tempted to buy it...

And I still haven't seen Timeline yet... did you see it?

[chozen 1]

It's okay. I wouldn't buy it on DVD unless it was very cheap. It's kinda cool, though.

[Mara 29]

Whooo!

Is the movie of Sphere any good, do you know? I saw it on DVD and was tempted to buy it...

And I still haven't seen Timeline yet... did you see it?

Sphere is alright. It could have been better. Parts of the story was skipped, but the special effects and such, help you envision the book a little better.

Timeline as a movie by itself was pretty cool

Timeline as a movie off of a book, was HORRID. Donner and that so called script writer completely butchered the book.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

i enjoyed The Sphere. of course, Sam Jackson was in it, and i never read the book, so i really have nothing to compare to.

my favorite series aside from Star Wars would have to be Dune. the first Dune is one of those books you read for the last 100 pages or so when chaos breaks loose. mmmm......carnage. :D

[Drake 53]

I also like the StarCraft and Halo books...based on the games.

[Mara 29]

I've been thinking of reading the Dune books... and maybe the Myst one.

Of course, I should finish the NJO first.

[Andy 60]

I saw Star Trek: Nemesis yesterday. Good movie.

*is pelted by rotten vegetables etc...*

[Mara 29]

*has never seen anything ST in her life*

*runs...*

[chozen 1]

ST isn't too bad.

[Mara 29]

No....I thought I'd be massacred by all the ST fans here....

[chozen 1]

you will.. just have to wait

[Mara 29]

Ahh... Hmm..

*hides*

((Btw, what's up with your MSN?))

[chozen 1]

I'm busy and having food.. Why?

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

the only ST i really liked was TNG with Cpt Picard. Insurrection was a great movie, and i wanted to see Nemisis but haven't yet. :cry:
