Great list so far.. not sure if these are mentioned.
  • Soylent Green.. Can't forget the 'dying' scenes.
  • 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
  • The Blob.
  • Invaders from Mars.
  • THX 1130
  • Invasion of the Body Snatchers
  • Island of Dr Moreau (one version filmed in St Croix at the current site of the Carambola Resort)
 
Good catch on Soylent Green. Great avatar BTW (the great fin debate)!

"Village of the Damned" - both the black & white original and the John Carpenter color remake with Christopher Reeve - written by John Wyndham (I saw Day of the Triffids mentioned earlier in the thread)

"The Andromeda Strain"

"The Omega Man" - Spending days sharpening dowel rods to use as stakes, nights drowning out atom age vampires with classical music and fully automatic weapons
 
If we have to drag Charlton Heston into it, Omega Man.
 
He'd already been drug into the thread when someone mentioned a movie about some damn dirty apes earlier.

Book was better - as usual, read before I saw the movie, a castoff paperback from my older brother. Richard Matheson cranks out good stuff.


Edit - rerranged to make more sense - also, check this out

Just plain "What were you thinking?" category

Maximum Overdrive
 
No one's listed "War of the Worlds" yet. I liked both the original and the recent remake.

"On the Beach" - original 1959 and 2000 remake - for when you need a dose of extreme nihilism! I thought the remake emphasized this even more than the original, personally.

Crummy / cheezy - "Damnation Alley" - original story was OK

Good thread Thalassamania!
 
Y'all have hit most of my favorites already (someone snatched Dark Star from me!).

Here's an obscure little fun one:

"Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" http://imdb.com/title/tt0089759/ ... TV movie with Raul Julia.

I'd forgotten that one was based on a story written by John Varley! I worked at a petrochem lab with one of his cousins for a short stint in the 80's, he was the one who first mentioned the movie to me.
