@@andrewharper1609 I highly recommend "Edge of Tomorrow." "The Americanization of Emily" (by the way of "The Perfect Furlough") meets "Groundhog Day" and "Independence Day." What's not to like?

Hi,do you know a movie,with is old and about space,and a man in movie actually invents a liquid which has a anti gravity effect,and first he uses this liquid on an apple and then he makes a wooden spaceship and tries to go to the space with one of his friends and his dog,then dog dies in the space and the just leave him in the space,and then when they arrive in another planet,aliens keep them in prison with some solid gold handcuffs. I've been searching for this movie and no one heard about it,I'd appreciate if you help me
wow! Interesting storyline to say the least. Not "The Absent Minded Professor" nor "First Men in the Moon" which initially came to mind but the latter had no dog. Question: what language was spoken in it? English? Italian? Japanese? German? Any geographical references to the take-off site/nation, or time period? Did you see it in color or black and white? Was it a silent movie? I am as curious to see it now as you are to find it! Was it a new release when you first saw it? How many years ago was that? Be well.
I'm glad that nobody is talking about Splice. That was the first R rated movie I had seen when I was old enough and I still regret it. It was just plain old crazy and awful. I had expected it to be more of a horror movie instead of what they made it into.
Enemy Mine, Not ONE mention of Louis Gosset Jr. as Drac... he's as much a part of the movie as Dennis Quaid, his body acting is superb, and they BOTH starred, the movie would have been lesser without him so....uhm why not? He should be credited. He's an excellent actor. Also, I agree with with Stac Master, Dark City should be on this list. It's highly underrated, and an excellent surrealist sci fi film.
@@billc6087 I agree! Love the movie and Louis Gossett Jr. was an award-winning performance, that did not get the notice he deserved for it. He did get a nomination from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, USA for Best Actor. I love Dennis Quaid, but Mr. Gossett was truly stellar!
Enemy Mine is a SUPER underrated flik. Great acting and I personally love the costume and make-up effects. It's dated for sure but it's still a great watch.
Even an episode of Star Trek "Enterprise" was dedicated to the movie. Recall the one where "Trip" was dehydrating to death on the edge of a mountain cliff when he and the "enemy alien" were saved at the last minute?
The Andromeda Strain? The Man Who Fell To Earth? Silent Running? Dark Star? Charly? Alphaville? Colossus: The Forbin Project? THX 1138? Rollerball? Solaris? (ignore any remakes of these)
Little known fact. Enemy Mine was based on a novella written by Barry Longyear and published in 1979,but the entire story is based on the story and film Hell in the Pacific starring Toshirō Mifune and Lee Marvin about two World War 2 pilots from Japan and America learning to survive together on a remote island .
@@ernststravoblofeld that sounds familiar now that you mentioned that. MeTV showed the old Battlestar Galactica a while back and I thought I saw them all but I don't remember seeing that episode. I'll have to look for it
The novella started out as a short story in 1979 for Asimov's Science Fiction, a pulp magazine intended for more general audiences (Analog, formerly Astounding Science Fiction, was the parent magazine and had been moving in an adult direction for nearly a decade at that point). It was expanded into a novella for the collection Manifest Destiny by Barry Longyear that was an anthology of shorter fiction set in the future portrayed in the original story. He would then expand it into a full novel, combining elements from the original novella along with the novelization of the film for a longer piece that was part of a larger trilogy that was completed in 1999 called The Enemy Papers. The entire Manifest Destiny/Enemy Papers universe is really well-written and one of the first series of books I really remember getting into back when I was a young kid in school.
Which pilot had the baby? Jk. I watched enemy mine as a kid. Fantastic film with a powerful moral message that i clearly understood as a child. I have never had prejudice against aliens since watching this film.
I've been a sci-fi fan since the 1960s. Please allow me to recommend the following movies. 1. Collossus: The Forbin Project (1970) 2. Phase IV (1974) 3. Zardoz (197?) I know these movies are before your time. Gimme a break, I'm old. 🙂
I watched zardoz due to the reference from Rick and morty (droppin' loads lol) but that movie was creative I guess, but also boring and I had a lot of trouble seeing why people consider it a hidden gem, other than Sean Connery being in it. Eh.
STARMAN (1984) was an absolute gem that should have been on this list. Jeff Bridges played the part amazingly well. His use of studying birds to use their mannerisms as alien movements gives his performance a feel of truly alien.
It is scary how much of Johnny Mnemonic has actually come true. Just about everything in that movie is happening right now in one form or another. The creators were spot on.
Just to make a small pedantic point, ideas from movies rarely originate from the movies themselves. The movie industry is parasitic and uncreative, and infested with hacks for the most part. They depend mostly on buying the rights to adapting or remaking material from other media, rather than originating ideas themselves.

I've always said, William Gibson is not an author so much as he is a prophet. It's even crazier that, at one point, he stopped writing in the future and started setting his novels in the present, but they still felt like William Gibson books.
Lou Gossett _is_ an amazing actor. Just think, not only was he touching as drac, but he was touching while playing an alien creature setup to be seen as an enemy. Thats acting skill. I miss actors who actually try. Dont see that much anymore.
The movies on this list are: Cocoon, Enemy Mine, Johnny Pneumonic, Freejack, Dark Skies, Splice, Soldier, Kill Command, Altered State, Monsters, Dreamscapes, And Extracted. Good list. There are many hidden sic fi gems but these are definitely on the top of the heap.
Good job TOTALLY ignoring the fact that Louis Gossett Jr's performance rivaled Dennis Quad's in Enemy Mine. They both made that film what it is & not just Dennis alone.
Look up Inner Space. Shrinking technology was being developed for medical science by miniaturizing medical equipment to enter the human body to conduct very difficult procedures. A USAF pilot was chosen to conduct the first experimental "flight" but the lab was raided by a commercial competitor, and the miniature pilot and vehicle was injected into an unsuspecting average jumpy Joe. It becomes a race against time to find this man by both parties, as the pilot has a limited air supply and re-enlarging requires a processing chip that the raiding competition managed to steal.
Altered States creeped me out as a kid. As a grown man, that final act alone still gives me nightmares till this day...... And Johnny Pnuemonic basically predicted the times we live in right now....
William Gibson was spot on with his scifi predictions. The internet destroying democracy. with huge internet corporations benefiting from all the chaos. a world full of opportunists in a gig economy. The funny thing is he wasn't a tech genius or user of the early internet. He just saw all the implications. Better than all the tech geniuses who are now disappointed with how their creations are used.
Great list! Enemy Mine is a classic! Dennis quaid was the man back in the 80s! Dreamscape was good too! Interspace is worth a watch! Johnny Neumonic was a fun movies it got too much shit from the critics back on the day! Kill Command was pretty good! I thought Cocoon was cheesy not in a good way. I need to rewatch Freejack again I don't remember much about it but I remember it wasn't that good. But sometimes rewatching old flicks u didn't much like but not hated , u can find appreciation for them now! ( But not all the time). Here's some classics to watch Ice Pirates , Space Hunter , the last starfighter , Howard the Duck & Spaced Invaders🍻
Good list, I haven't seen all of these. I'd recommend Silent Running, Gattaca, Alphaville, Stalker and the original Solaris for more thought provoking sci-fi.
@@buffstraw2969 Thanks bro, but, to be fair this channel highlights B-movies, which is why I watch it. The movies in my list, while mostly being extremely low budget, were often aiming for the Arthouse crowd rather than the B-movie crowd, so it's quite understandable that none of them appear here. But good movies are good movies, right?
This is such a good list it really hurts to not see Brainstorm on it. Starring the ever enigmatic Christopher Walken as a scientist developing technology to record and play back thoughts and emotions.
Another intriguing and entertaining episode! Although I feel like there are more “buried” movies that could have been included before mentioning the 2000’s movies. “The Last Starfighter” (1984), “Short Circuit” (1986), and “Flight of the Navigator” (1986) to name a few👽
" Flight Of the Navigator" is a fun movie. With Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) as the voice of the changed "Max" character. That is the only thing that I thought messed it up.
Enemy Mine is an all time favourite, definitely gets talked about and referenced alot in my household, I've raised my kids on this movie as well as many others too. Love the line "you ugly head". Also the creature that comes out of the ground when it's tongue is wrapped around Quaids leg is legit terrifying.
@@sgs1313 My own personal rumination about the word "love"--it's been so abused & twisted in so many different ways, in so many different directions, with so many different definitions, that it barely means anything anymore. That's a line I'd like to put in a movie.
People were quoting it too much to consider it buried. Are you allowed on this thread? Do you have a Multi-Pass? If you don't have a Multi-Pass I'll negotiate for you. I got all my negotiating experience from the Fifth Element.
Enemy Mime was and is a great movie I have watched that movie so many times and have enjoyed it each time..it should be on everybody's watch list and should be number 1
One of my mother's favourite movies is Enemy Mine so I grew up with it and still enjoy it to this day. The list is a pretty good one but I would have liked to see Batteries Not Included on it, I don't really think it has gotten as much love as it should.
I remember Dreamscape..Max Von Sydow died quite recently..He starred with the late Yul Brynner in The Ultimate Warrior which was the very first post apocalypse movie i ever seen as a kid
Compared to the original story Enemy Mine is crap. The original story is beautifully written and it is not the action movie that Wolfgang wanted to turn it into. Originally it was basically a love story . Two sworn enemies learning about and eventually depending on each other to survive in a hostile environment . The only thing that the movie has to offer is a sterling performance by Gossett . He was quite brilliant as Jeriba Shigan . Dennis was ok . Nothing special. Wolfgang should be ashamed of what he did to a wonderful story.
@@tinman3381 I've only seen the movie but I never saw it as an action movie but a story of 2 mortal enemies coming to terms with survival and eventually embracing each other's way of life and forming a deep bond of friendship and respect.
@@cchavezjr7 try to find the original story and read it. Be careful . There are multiple versions written to follow the movie version. It is not a full length book . Rather it is a short novella. The physical surroundings are different . That's the clue to getting the right one. 👍😃🇺🇸
The Thirteenth Floor (1999)- murder mystery, time travel (sort of), alternate realities -twists, turns and no one even knows about this movie, should have been on the list.
The last starfighter Flight of the navigator Dark angel The lawnmower man The faculty (Sidenote) don't you hate it when you're in the middle of typing a comment whilst watching a video & you CAN'T SKIP THE F****** ADVERTS??😡😡😡
The Last Starfighter and Fight of the Navigator I certainly have fond memories of. The Lawnmower Man not a good memory of. It is a Cyberpunk take on Frankenstein in a lot of ways. The Ideas were there (I think it may have been from a Stephen King idea) but the execution, a bit meh and some shockingly bad early computer graphics (probably done of an Amiga Video Toaster, which was great for ships and vehicles, poor at 'people').
@@jon-paulfilkins7820 totally hear you on the lawnmower man. But i do remember the hype about VR at that time & i also remember having the lawnmower man game on the snes.

@@PREPFORIT Given that it was his first step into kinda hollywoodish fantasy movie, he did a more than decent job. And after all, that made him enter at some degree in present pop-culture pantheon. Even if I agree with you about big flaws in TNES, I think that this contributes to the charm of this movie.
I've at least heard of all but one movie. And I've seen most of them. One movie I was hoping to see was Millennium, with Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd. I wish this movie would come back, and/or get the remake treatment.
I see Johnny Mnemonic, I click like. I loved the 80's/90's Cyberpunk genre and this was a great one! It was the first time I saw Henry Rollins act and he turned a brilliant piece.
I remember Enemy Mine when i was 10 yrs old... It was tattooed in my memory but i never knew what it was about since i didn't speak English at that time.. Now I appreciate the movie even more...lol
I laughed when you said Soldier reminds you of Blade Runner: they share universes, if you look closely you can see the main character has seen some of the things Roy Batty remembers at Blade Runner's climax
"[Soldier] invokes a Blade Runner vibe..." It's part of the Alien/Predator/Blade Runner/Serenity/Firefly universe. There are a couple Blade Runner references in the movie.
Enemy Mine is a cult classic, the end is incredible where Dennis Quaid must go before the elders on his enemies planet and help the child who was born from the alien recite ages of his ancestors as all his kind must, becoming his substitute parent. Johnny Mneumonic is like a prophecy of our current world.
Starchaser legend of Orin seen as a star wars ripoff the cartoon hidden gem has its own qualities and is kinda more edgy than star wars see for yourself
Saw "Cocoon" and "Enemy Mine" in the theater...great movies; "Enemy Mine" is a fantastic interplay between Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr. "Johnny Mnemonic" is a great story, and a good movie. Loved "Freejack." It shows what would happen if the rich try and live forever. Loved Mick Jagger's character, Vacendak, and Anthony Hopkins playing an unscrupulous oligarch, after coming off playing Hannibal Lector, is just too smooth for words. Liked "Soldier." Kurt Russell played a great silent straight-man. "Altered States" is a weird, but good, one. If you haven't seen it, you'll definitely be saying WTF did I just watch. "Monsters" is one I've seen a couple of times. It's more Hitchcockian in nature; the aliens are there, but you don't really see them. "Dreamscape" is another weird one; it's got a great plot, good characters, and some inner-landscape 'play' that's interesting.
A really good selection with some good film here. Might I suggest a number 13: Moontrap? It a fun 80s sci fi romp starring Walter Koenig and Bruce Campbell.
My two favorites on this list, which I will watch pretty much whenever I come across them, are Enemy Mine and Soldier. I liked Cocoon as well, but wouldn't go out of my to watch it. I shall have to investigate some of these others.
Thirteenth floor, Event Horizon, Sphere, Mission to Mars, Red Planet, Stargate, the fourth kind, the forgotten, existenz, pleasantville, supernova and Alien Hunter are my top list for old skool Sci Fi
Most of those would not count. Event Horizon it always at the top for horror movies. StarGate is the movie that started the show so neither of those can go on any forgotten list. Even when Matrix was being talked about as being OP OP OP I was saying Thirteenth Floor is better as a movie. Thirteenth floor attacks the idea of yourself more and Matrix is more of a power fantasy.
@Taiwanlight Are you talking about "Last Rites"? If so, that was his older brother, Randy Quaid. Good luck finding it as I believe it was a made for TV movie on HBO. I have it on VHS as it has never been released on DVD or any digital format that I'm aware of. Good movie though.
She died - or was murdered - why won't Walken fess up? I think he's protecting his buddy. Like everybody else, I really like Walken, but he loses a lot of points from this subject . . .
A great list but after reading the comments, it would be very easy to make a much longer one. Here are a few I didn't see mentioned: 'Primer', 'Buckaroo Banzai', 'Logan's Run' could easily go on.
But where are our Yakuza-Tech thumb-replacing monomolecular wire whips that slice cleanly through everything, an abstract, visual Internet with VR interfaces, wetware brain implants for data-smuggling or solving dyslexia, cyberware for amped-up reflexes, a myomer-muscle weave, or an entire endoskeketon like Street Preacher's? Where are the scruffy, Mad Max-looking, D-grade B-boy hackers operating in the open against 'the Man' and far from being like Anonymous or 4chan, and ROOM SERVICE!! (including club sandwich, shirts pressed Tokyo-style, bottled Dos Equis, and a $10K-per-boink harlot)? Where are the black RVs, the 'McCyber MacGyver' mobile clinics for unlicenced work (from cybiotology school dropouts), bargain-priced upgrades or repairs (no guarantees offered; you get what you pay for; for example, the Walmart-Eyecrafters 'Cheaper Peepers' brand of artificial corneas have some nice colors and LED presets for when you're out clubbing, but can never give you long-range, IR/UV, 72× telescopic functions of the precisely-ground lenses of the Carl Zeiss-Nikon line, or any of the stock Minolta-Red1 digital CCD-retina jobbies with the onboard ocular wifi chipset, running the ImaginEdit 4.2 suite that the kids love; whatever they can see, they can record, edit, add fun FX, and share, simply by daydreaming them to a wifi SSD)? Finally, we're missing an important atmospheric touch: local dive pubs owned and tended by grizzled, old ex-military men, soldiers of fortune, or burnt-out console cowboys who've seen some shit in the data-trenches and deletion-fields, all with clunky arm prosthetics three gens old, which were a welcome, but now obsolete, thank-you from former employer SaboTopKek's Budget Mercs for participating in a botched mission to capture a prominent Okinawastani Caliphate narco-nin-jihadi attempting to expand his 'Gobi Sand' granulated lyserlaudameth manufacturing empire into the Second Democratic Anarchipublic of Nuby-Novia Zaï⊙rhöd⊙bar in 2055. (Those ⊙ marks are vocal tongue clicks found in languages like Xhosa, in case you were wondering. Also, I've managed to render myself quite insane tonight, so I hope you find even a single edible corner of the rotten fruit of my labors to garner a tiny morsel of enjoyment.)
Everything except for the 3rd act I loved. Written by Alex Garland (28 Days Later...) I expected a real gut punch in the end, but it just kind of happens.
Ray Fiennes was the Josephus Miller of that movie. It was so good, it makes you think it's a historical account and not fiction. I still remember going to blockbuster and renting it as the default backup.

Louis Gossett is a wonderful actor. He was so touching as Drac.
I always thought Enemy Mine should have won an Oscar
Lou Gossett _is_ an amazing actor. Just think, not only was he touching as drac, but he was touching while playing an alien creature setup to be seen as an enemy. Thats acting skill. I miss actors who actually try. Dont see that much anymore.
Not bad for an Oscar winner playing a transgender alien.
I am disappointed that The Last Starfighter was not mentioned in this video
YEAH! They mentioned that total piece of shit film "Splice" but not "The Last Starfighter".
Last Starfighter is famous.
... did so enjoy The Last Star-fighter ...
They are making a Last Starfighter sequel, so it's not really buried.
Dark City? Brainstorm?
The movies on this list are: Cocoon, Enemy Mine, Johnny Pneumonic, Freejack, Dark Skies, Splice, Soldier, Kill Command, Altered State, Monsters, Dreamscapes, And Extracted. Good list. There are many hidden sic fi gems but these are definitely on the top of the heap.
Johnny... PNEUMONIC"!? lol
It's "Mnemnonic" which is a word which means an aid to memory.
Thanks!
Good job TOTALLY ignoring the fact that Louis Gossett Jr's performance rivaled Dennis Quad's in Enemy Mine. They both made that film what it is & not just Dennis alone.
Very True.
Yes..i agree wholeheartedly..Louis should get his due..he was good in his other movies too
Lou Gosset's performance made this movie for me! My fave sci fi movie of all time!
Louis Gossett Jr"s performance brought this movie up to a whole new level. I wouldn't want to remember it without his portrayal of an alien...
I concur, especially when the commentator references multiple co-stars for the other referenced films ....
Outland (1981)
On cover: Sean Connery, in sheriff's uniform, holding pump-action shotgun.
Tagline: "On Jupiter's moon, he's the only law."
*Outland is one of the more interesting space westerns out there*
A brilliant remake of "High Noon."
Yep, fantastic film for atmosphere.
I remember that movie. It was good, above average. Wasn't it happening on Titan? God it's been so long.
@@Francois424 It was Io.
anyone remember "batteries not included" from 1987 ?
Always will always have loved Enemy Mine! The message in the movie is beautiful.
Same with me I absolutely adore it
One of my favorite films as a kid
Ironically they didn't mention the actor who played the alien , do you know who he was ?
@Elsa Botha that's the point , race relations , no mention of the black man
reed the novel Enemy mine by Barry B. Longyear...i belive there the mesage is way more explicit....
Robinson Crusoe on Mars, was an amazing gem from 1965. Enemy Mine was very good, but the latter paved the way for it.
Do you mean former rather than latter?
Yes I remember seeing Robinson Crusoe on Mars in the theaters. Yes I'm kind of old LOL.
Look up Inner Space. Shrinking technology was being developed for medical science by miniaturizing medical equipment to enter the human body to conduct very difficult procedures. A USAF pilot was chosen to conduct the first experimental "flight" but the lab was raided by a commercial competitor, and the miniature pilot and vehicle was injected into an unsuspecting average jumpy Joe. It becomes a race against time to find this man by both parties, as the pilot has a limited air supply and re-enlarging requires a processing chip that the raiding competition managed to steal.
A nice variation on the classic "Fantastic Voyage."
That was a great movie! Also with Dennis Quaid! :-)
That movie was horrible LOL.And Martin Short...eyugh. He's intolerable.
Also Dennis Quaid is naked
So bloody sexy
I remember hearing inner space was getting redone with Matt Damon but that movie downsizing is what became of that hah
Cocoon was/is freakin' awesome; was so magical to watch as a kid in the 80's when it first came out!
Bored Olde film
It always made me feel sad so I couldn't watch it all the way through.
8 yiu
Watched it in 86 on video the morning before I got married. A good family friendly sci-Fi movie
Batteries Not Included was just as good imo.
Silent Running. No one thinks of Silent Running. Bruce Dern at his crazy ass best. Seriously. Why isn't Silent Running here?
And a fantastic song by Joan Baez.
Okay, I'll say it. Those robots were adorable.
That's what I waited to know, because that was a stunning visual treat. The cast was first rate, and the plot very believable.
Silent Running, one of my top faves...
it's my favourite movie , I have sampled bruce derns dialogue so many times in my music
Altered States creeped me out as a kid. As a grown man, that final act alone still gives me nightmares till this day......
And Johnny Pnuemonic basically predicted the times we live in right now....
I can't abide John Hurt. Just can't. This bugs me, because he chooses a lot of roles I want to see, but with (just about anyone else) performing them.
William Gibson was spot on with his scifi predictions.
The internet destroying democracy. with huge internet corporations benefiting from all the chaos.
a world full of opportunists in a gig economy.
The funny thing is he wasn't a tech genius or user of the early internet.
He just saw all the implications.
Better than all the tech geniuses who are now disappointed with how their creations are used.
Enemy Mine has been among my top fave sci fi flix since it came out. Brilliant and underrated.
Great list! Enemy Mine is a classic! Dennis quaid was the man back in the 80s! Dreamscape was good too! Interspace is worth a watch! Johnny Neumonic was a fun movies it got too much shit from the critics back on the day! Kill Command was pretty good! I thought Cocoon was cheesy not in a good way. I need to rewatch Freejack again I don't remember much about it but I remember it wasn't that good. But sometimes rewatching old flicks u didn't much like but not hated , u can find appreciation for them now! ( But not all the time). Here's some classics to watch Ice Pirates , Space Hunter , the last starfighter , Howard the Duck & Spaced Invaders🍻
Spaced Invaders is one of the funniest movies that I ever saw.
Don't you mean Innerspace?
A classic Sci-Fi like Abyss from James Cameron and E.T., but like Abyss is almost forgotten that is not hear anymore.
That's a good movie. I have it on VHS and DVD. Still wowed by the special effects.
Director's cut is the best version. Gives the film a completely different meaning. Makes the whole film more meaningful.
First time I watched abyss was in summer school.
Loved Soldier. Found the DVD in an opshop. Score!
Good list, I haven't seen all of these. I'd recommend Silent Running, Gattaca, Alphaville, Stalker and the original Solaris for more thought provoking sci-fi.
Gattica is an amazing film done on a Doctor Who budget.
@Arthur Sleep I much prefer your list than the one presented in the video.
@@buffstraw2969 Thanks bro, but, to be fair this channel highlights B-movies, which is why I watch it. The movies in my list, while mostly being extremely low budget, were often aiming for the Arthouse crowd rather than the B-movie crowd, so it's quite understandable that none of them appear here. But good movies are good movies, right?
@@dexocubeB-movies? It says buried movies. B stands for Buried?
I liked Star Man.
what about "they live " rowdy Roddy piper "i,m here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and i,m all out of gum"
that was called "they live" and I agree it needs to be on a list like this
@@sgs1313 ahh yes my mistake years since I saw it
The fact that you quoted a well-known line from that film shows it isn't a "sci-fi movie that no one talks about"
"They live" definitely should be in here!
@@sheridanwilde ah yes everybody knows the line but not many know the film as even i named the wrong movie
This is such a good list it really hurts to not see Brainstorm on it. Starring the ever enigmatic Christopher Walken as a scientist developing technology to record and play back thoughts and emotions.
Oh what a great movie superb cast. Thanks for the reminder!
Another intriguing and entertaining episode! Although I feel like there are more “buried” movies that could have been included before mentioning the 2000’s movies. “The Last Starfighter” (1984), “Short Circuit” (1986), and “Flight of the Navigator” (1986) to name a few👽
🤖 Johnny 5 alive!⚡
My grandkids still watch Short Circuit with me sometimes.
" Flight Of the Navigator" is a fun movie. With Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) as the voice of the changed "Max" character. That is the only thing that I thought messed it up.
Louis Gosset Jr. is the only actor I remembered from that movie. He was literally unforgettable.
Enemy Mine!
Enemy Mine is an all time favourite, definitely gets talked about and referenced alot in my household, I've raised my kids on this movie as well as many others too. Love the line "you ugly head". Also the creature that comes out of the ground when it's tongue is wrapped around Quaids leg is legit terrifying.
Nicely done video, in spite of the overuse/misuse of 'portrays.'
Enemy Mine has been one of my favorite movies since it's release. Freejack was good too. Soldier is a great movie.
"Time After Time" (1979)
"The Hidden" (1987)
"Millennium" (1989)
"Primer" (2004)
Yes, HG Wells chasing Jack the Ripper is one of my all time favs!
@@sgs1313
"90 years ago, I was a freak.
Today, I'm an amateur."
@@laustcawz2089 Every age is the same, It's only love that makes any of 'em bearable
@@sgs1313
My own personal rumination
about the word "love"--it's been
so abused & twisted in so many
different ways, in so many different
directions, with so many different
definitions, that it barely
means anything anymore.
That's a line I'd like to put in a movie.
Time after time is one of my favourites. Give me anything HG Wells and Jack The Ripper and I'm in. But that one is still a fav.
Just watched Enemy Mine after about 30 years. Still just as great as it ever was.
Cocoon and enemy mine are fantastic films, they are both firm favourites from my early teens, even now they have the power to bring tears to my eyes
"The Fifth Element" is pretty good, but probably not considered "buried."
John Tiggleman Yeah. “The Fifth Element” is buried in frequent rebroadcasts on cable TV.
Who is that?
People were quoting it too much to consider it buried.
Are you allowed on this thread? Do you have a Multi-Pass?
If you don't have a Multi-Pass I'll negotiate for you. I got all my negotiating experience from the Fifth Element.
Unwatchable. That chris tucker freak.
My add-ons....Screamers, The Mist, Event Horizon, Deux Ex Machina, Pitch Black, Sunshine, Scanners....sooo many more.
Ex machina was terrible!
Get real, guy!
@@fuqupal Didn't say iy was good...just stunning. By the way, your moniker is infantile.
Ah Yes Soldier. One of my All Time Favorite Films. Fan Theory/Crossover is the New Soldiers are possibly Replicants from Blade Runner.
*technically it was...there are also hints that Event Horizon also took place within this universe*
FINALLY someone puts Freejack on the list of forgotten or underated sci-fi❤️❤️❤️
Enemy Mime was and is a great movie I have watched that movie so many times and have enjoyed it each time..it should be on everybody's watch list and should be number 1
One of my mother's favourite movies is Enemy Mine so I grew up with it and still enjoy it to this day. The list is a pretty good one but I would have liked to see Batteries Not Included on it, I don't really think it has gotten as much love as it should.
Well I certainly love Batteries Not Included! One of my favorites growing up and it still is. Good choice!
Aliens in the Attic was cool along with Batteries Not Included
I remember Dreamscape..Max Von Sydow died quite recently..He starred with the late Yul Brynner in The Ultimate Warrior which was the very first post apocalypse movie i ever seen as a kid
speaking of Yul, West World should of been on here. ..one of these days I need to start watching the recent tv show they've made based on it
Dreamscape is a great film.... how about innerspace?
THE HIDDEN is my favourite low-key sci-fi classic.
I was wondering when someone was going to mention Enemy Mine
All these gems. Color me Subed.
Compared to the original story Enemy Mine is crap. The original story is beautifully written and it is not the action movie that Wolfgang wanted to turn it into. Originally it was basically a love story . Two sworn enemies learning about and eventually depending on each other to survive in a hostile environment . The only thing that the movie has to offer is a sterling performance by Gossett . He was quite brilliant as Jeriba Shigan . Dennis was ok . Nothing special. Wolfgang should be ashamed of what he did to a wonderful story.
@@tinman3381 I've only seen the movie but I never saw it as an action movie but a story of 2 mortal enemies coming to terms with survival and eventually embracing each other's way of life and forming a deep bond of friendship and respect.
@@cchavezjr7 try to find the original story and read it. Be careful . There are multiple versions written to follow the movie version. It is not a full length book . Rather it is a short novella. The physical surroundings are different . That's the clue to getting the right one. 👍😃🇺🇸
@@tinman3381 Thanks, I really want to read it now that you said it came from another work. Appreciate it.
@@cchavezjr7 let me know if you do read it . Would like to hear your reaction. 😃🇺🇸👍
Loved Freejack wish it got more love at the time so we could've seen a part 2.
The Thirteenth Floor (1999)- murder mystery, time travel (sort of), alternate realities -twists, turns and no one even knows about this movie, should have been on the list.
The last starfighter
Flight of the navigator
Dark angel
The lawnmower man
The faculty
(Sidenote) don't you hate it when you're in the middle of typing a comment whilst watching a video & you CAN'T SKIP THE F****** ADVERTS??😡😡😡
When you say Dark Angel do you mean a movie also called I come in Peace?
The Last Starfighter and Fight of the Navigator I certainly have fond memories of. The Lawnmower Man not a good memory of. It is a Cyberpunk take on Frankenstein in a lot of ways. The Ideas were there (I think it may have been from a Stephen King idea) but the execution, a bit meh and some shockingly bad early computer graphics (probably done of an Amiga Video Toaster, which was great for ships and vehicles, poor at 'people').
@@jon-paulfilkins7820 totally hear you on the lawnmower man. But i do remember the hype about VR at that time & i also remember having the lawnmower man game on the snes.
@@owie4070 yes that 1.👍

Wolfgang Peterson is a really underrated genius.
The never ending story had some major flaws but I agree with all his other films.
@@PREPFORIT Given that it was his first step into kinda hollywoodish fantasy movie, he did a more than decent job. And after all, that made him enter at some degree in present pop-culture pantheon. Even if I agree with you about big flaws in TNES, I think that this contributes to the charm of this movie.
Enemy mine is one of my all time favourite movies. Absolutely amazing film.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (original) This Island Earth, 5 Billion years to Earth (Quatermass and the Pit), Outlander, The Man from Earth,
Quartermass and the Pit is an amazing movie.
Forbidden Planet
+1 for The Man from Earth
Another one but it is British so may not count, "The day the earth caught fire"
The original "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is one of my favorite movies.
I've at least heard of all but one movie. And I've seen most of them. One movie I was hoping to see was Millennium, with Kris Kristofferson and Cheryl Ladd. I wish this movie would come back, and/or get the remake treatment.
Honorable Mentions: Strange Days (1995), Runaway (1984), The Running Man (1987)
awesome selection of movies here
saw them all.watching this makes me desire to see them all again
from hatred to friendship to love to galactic transformation, Enemy Mine is a fantastic story that earns viewing over & over.
I see Johnny Mnemonic, I click like. I loved the 80's/90's Cyberpunk genre and this was a great one! It was the first time I saw Henry Rollins act and he turned a brilliant piece.
Enemy Mine, was one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies.
I remember Enemy Mine when i was 10 yrs old... It was tattooed in my memory but i never knew what it was about since i didn't speak English at that time.. Now I appreciate the movie even more...lol
Solar Warriors aka (Solar Babies) is a good movie, not many people talk about.
Bodai
@@CorbCorbin budda lol
Damn I remember that movie. Roller skating future kids
I've seen it on TV a few times and it is such fun. A good post apocalyptic movie that isn't depressing or overly cheesy.
*agreed...one of my personal favorites*
I laughed when you said Soldier reminds you of Blade Runner: they share universes, if you look closely you can see the main character has seen some of the things Roy Batty remembers at Blade Runner's climax
Sure was. Glad I found your comment before I left mine.
Yeah, a lot of people don’t know this - when Kurt is dumped with the trash on the planet, Deckhards police car is in with the trash.
I saw Enemy Mine as a Kid, and consider it top 10 scifi of all time. Still watch it occassionally.
"[Soldier] invokes a Blade Runner vibe..." It's part of the Alien/Predator/Blade Runner/Serenity/Firefly universe. There are a couple Blade Runner references in the movie.
His commendation for the Battle at the Tannhauser Gate, for instance.
I'm not even 90 seconds in and that "game show smile" in your voice is obtrusive and maddeningly sacrine.
Enemy Mine is a cult classic, the end is incredible where Dennis Quaid must go before the elders on his enemies planet and help the child who was born from the alien recite ages of his ancestors as all his kind must, becoming his substitute parent.
Johnny Mneumonic is like a prophecy of our current world.
I've seen 6 of these movies. I'm a long time sci-fi fan, movies, books, magazines. The movies I saw in this group are outstanding sci-fi!!
What about Crossworlds? That's a cool scifi movie. Actually, just do a whole video on Rutger Hauer. Guy was a legend.
Should've gotten
best actor for "Blind Fury".
Another Hauer classic--
"Ladyhawke".
I'll look for Crossworlds, I agree Rutger Hauer is a legend-
Blade runner
@@martijndejong1293 Best Sci Fi '"dying" last words-
Crossworlds was enjoyable but there's better hauer movies.
A number of odd mispronunciations make me think the voice-over might be computer-generated. If so, it's the best I've ever heard.
Starchaser legend of Orin seen as a star wars ripoff the cartoon hidden gem has its own qualities and is kinda more edgy than star wars see for yourself
I have it and you are right! It does have an edginess to it on par with Heavy Metal or Wizards. It's a cool movie.
Saw that one in the theater! ...I liked Rock & Rule better, tho...more Lovecraftian.
Thanks for this nostalgic trip through my childhood favorites!
Story and acting are king. Big budgets without both of those are a waste.
sci-fi was always my favourite genre, just not many great movies lately.
So many excellent movies in this list! These are my favorites:
Altered States
Enemy Mine
Soldier
Dreamscape
Monsters
Cocoon
Charly with Cliff Robertson
😢 Based on Flowers for Algernon.
Soldier and Enemy Mine are 2 of my favorites. Watch them every time there on...!
Saw "Cocoon" and "Enemy Mine" in the theater...great movies; "Enemy Mine" is a fantastic interplay between Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossett Jr.
"Johnny Mnemonic" is a great story, and a good movie.
Loved "Freejack." It shows what would happen if the rich try and live forever. Loved Mick Jagger's character, Vacendak, and Anthony Hopkins playing an unscrupulous oligarch, after coming off playing Hannibal Lector, is just too smooth for words.
Liked "Soldier." Kurt Russell played a great silent straight-man.
"Altered States" is a weird, but good, one. If you haven't seen it, you'll definitely be saying WTF did I just watch.
"Monsters" is one I've seen a couple of times. It's more Hitchcockian in nature; the aliens are there, but you don't really see them.
"Dreamscape" is another weird one; it's got a great plot, good characters, and some inner-landscape 'play' that's interesting.
A really good selection with some good film here. Might I suggest a number 13: Moontrap? It a fun 80s sci fi romp starring Walter Koenig and Bruce Campbell.
Enemy mine is a real classic, although let’s be honest there is at least some inspiration from Hell in the Pacific - another classic.
My two favorites on this list, which I will watch pretty much whenever I come across them, are Enemy Mine and Soldier. I liked Cocoon as well, but wouldn't go out of my to watch it. I shall have to investigate some of these others.
I was really annoyed all my adverts where interupted every 3 minutes by some movie snippets ...
Try RUclips Vance. Download it from apk4free.net... RUclips without ads. 👍
or addblock. works fine
wait till you see "12 all time greatest adverts"!.... ahh the memories....
The adverts on this video took the frickin’ biscuit! 😖
Thirteenth floor, Event Horizon, Sphere, Mission to Mars, Red Planet, Stargate, the fourth kind, the forgotten, existenz, pleasantville, supernova and Alien Hunter are my top list for old skool Sci Fi
Aw knew I was missing a few lol.
Most of those would not count. Event Horizon it always at the top for horror movies. StarGate is the movie that started the show so neither of those can go on any forgotten list.
Even when Matrix was being talked about as being OP OP OP I was saying Thirteenth Floor is better as a movie. Thirteenth floor attacks the idea of yourself more and Matrix is more of a power fantasy.
Its criminal how Dennis quad never reached "A list" status, so many great movies.
To me he has!! I adore him and his acting abilities! Same with Kurt Russell! 💕
@Taiwanlight Do you remember the name of the movie? PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU DO, I'd LOVE to see it! Thanks! 🙂
Loved him in D.O.A., Inner-Space, and Undercover Blues!
@Taiwanlight Are you talking about "Last Rites"? If so, that was his older brother, Randy Quaid. Good luck finding it as I believe it was a made for TV movie on HBO. I have it on VHS as it has never been released on DVD or any digital format that I'm aware of. Good movie though.
@Taiwanlight Yeah, Randy's another unsung hero of the screen. Runs in the family, I expect.
Marvelous Videos all I can say is that this was a very fun episode!! I had internet problems, that is why I apologise for the delay in response.
Where the hell is"The Ice Pirates"!?!
That's what I'm saying!
One of the best sci-fi comedy movies ever made!
Space herpes!
I still got that on VHS.
I love Enemy Mine. It was slow being Re-released on dvd a while back but I had it Pre-ordered. Love Cocoon and Cocoon 2 as well 😀
You had some of my favorite old '80s movies in this list
That's the problem. There are Sci Fi gems rarely mentioned here that go back to the 60s and 70s. Most Sci Fi from the 80s was cooky cutter.
Fantastic Job! Totally Enjoyed! 👍🏼
I freaking love enemy mine, I've been looking for it on dvd for a long time
"Enemy Mine" was an awesome movie. I loved it.
Enemy mine, luved this movie when I was a kid
Very cool that you included Alerted States. That was one freaky 80s flick!
Brainstorm... also has the distinction of being Natalie Wood’s last film.
In fact, she died during production of the film, and Trumbull had to rework the script and used Wood's sister to complete the shooting.
She died - or was murdered - why won't Walken fess up? I think he's protecting his buddy. Like everybody else, I really like Walken, but he loses a lot of points from this subject . . .
@@imoldgreggboosh3467 … so, you think Walken killed her or he’s covering up for Wagner? I’ve always suspected Wagner myself.
A great list but after reading the comments, it would be very easy to make a much longer one. Here are a few I didn't see mentioned: 'Primer', 'Buckaroo Banzai', 'Logan's Run' could easily go on.
We are closer to Jonny numonic then I thought lol
Yep, 5:24
If you're interested, William Gibson also wrote another story in that world, with a character in common, called "Neuromancer."
But where are our Yakuza-Tech thumb-replacing monomolecular wire whips that slice cleanly through everything, an abstract, visual Internet with VR interfaces, wetware brain implants for data-smuggling or solving dyslexia, cyberware for amped-up reflexes, a myomer-muscle weave, or an entire endoskeketon like Street Preacher's?
Where are the scruffy, Mad Max-looking, D-grade B-boy hackers operating in the open against 'the Man' and far from being like Anonymous or 4chan, and ROOM SERVICE!! (including club sandwich, shirts pressed Tokyo-style, bottled Dos Equis, and a $10K-per-boink harlot)?
Where are the black RVs, the 'McCyber MacGyver' mobile clinics for unlicenced work (from cybiotology school dropouts), bargain-priced upgrades or repairs (no guarantees offered; you get what you pay for; for example, the Walmart-Eyecrafters 'Cheaper Peepers' brand of artificial corneas have some nice colors and LED presets for when you're out clubbing, but can never give you long-range, IR/UV, 72× telescopic functions of the precisely-ground lenses of the Carl Zeiss-Nikon line, or any of the stock Minolta-Red1 digital CCD-retina jobbies with the onboard ocular wifi chipset, running the ImaginEdit 4.2 suite that the kids love; whatever they can see, they can record, edit, add fun FX, and share, simply by daydreaming them to a wifi SSD)?
Finally, we're missing an important atmospheric touch: local dive pubs owned and tended by grizzled, old ex-military men, soldiers of fortune, or burnt-out console cowboys who've seen some shit in the data-trenches and deletion-fields, all with clunky arm prosthetics three gens old, which were a welcome, but now obsolete, thank-you from former employer SaboTopKek's Budget Mercs for participating in a botched mission to capture a prominent Okinawastani Caliphate narco-nin-jihadi attempting to expand his 'Gobi Sand' granulated lyserlaudameth manufacturing empire into the Second Democratic Anarchipublic of Nuby-Novia Zaï⊙rhöd⊙bar in 2055.
(Those ⊙ marks are vocal tongue clicks found in languages like Xhosa, in case you were wondering. Also, I've managed to render myself quite insane tonight, so I hope you find even a single edible corner of the rotten fruit of my labors to garner a tiny morsel of enjoyment.)
I love all of these hidden sci-fi gems. Great list of movies!
"Sunshine" is a real gem. Directed by Danny Boyle.
Everything except for the 3rd act I loved. Written by Alex Garland (28 Days Later...) I expected a real gut punch in the end, but it just kind of happens.
@@tylerskiss and it goes from a sci fi thriller/detective type film to a straight up slasher in the 3rd act
Thank you for reminding me of Cocoon i really loved that movie as a teen It Is awesome
You missed out "Strange Days"
Very very underrated! Great movie! Loved Juliette Lewis in it! She was So Trashy Sexy!
Ray Fiennes was the Josephus Miller of that movie. It was so good, it makes you think it's a historical account and not fiction. I still remember going to blockbuster and renting it as the default backup.
It's not whether you are paranoid Lenny, it's whether you are paranoid enough.
Funny, that movie came to my mind too.
I loved Johnny Mnemonic growing up, we had it on vhs. Caught it on TV again a few years back and it was just as good as I remembered.
