1.1984 starring: John Hurt, Richard Burton, Suzanna Hamilton, Cyril Cusack, Gregor Fisher directed by: Michael Radford February 11, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $22.89
Michael Radford's adaptation of the well-known novel by Orwell is very faithful to its source material and very impressive. The cast is perfect in its leading trio: John Hurt as Winston Smith, Suzanna Hamilton as Julia and last but certainly not least in his last movie performance Richard Burton as O'Brien. Orwell's dystopian vision of the future will be well known to most of us. Winston Smith, the central character, lives in a totalitarian world, in which all pay homage to the ominous ever present "Big Brother" and, To sort of keep birth rates at an acceptable level, war is continually waged against some kind of enemy, that seems to change as much as wind direction whatever the fear mongers deem appropriate. Inhabitants of this world are continually bombarded ... Read More

2.Futureworld starring: Peter Fonda, Blythe Danner, Arthur Hill, Yul Brynner, John P. Ryan directed by: Richard T. Heffron May 15, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.49
Films buffs will want to know that the Spanish R2 'Mundo Futuro' DVD is missing footage. There are four cuts totaling 2.5 minutes of missing footage: 1. The pre-credit sequence is missing. 2. Some dialoge during the press invite, round table scene. 3. When Peter Fonda explores the remains of Westworld. 4. Dialogue at the very end. Until a better version is released, your best bet is to pick up the R2 UK full frame edition which includes all of the above cuts.

3.Time Machine (1960) starring: Rod Taylor, Alan Young, Yvette Mimieux, Sebastian Cabot, Tom Helmore directed by: George Pal September 20, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.10
Everyone has his/hers favorite movie, but The Time Machine has to rank way up there on many people's list. Based on H.G. Wells eerily dark vision of the future, George Pal's Time Machine is science fiction at it's best. Inventor George Wells (Rod Taylor) has invited his friends over for dinner at his house. His friends are impatient, as George is late for his own dinner. George soon manages to show up, but his clothes are torn, and his body bruised. His friends sit him down, and George tells the story of what has happened to him. George reminds his friends of the meeting they had five days earlier, in which George demonstrated to them a prototype contraption he had built, which could travel in time. His friends didn't believe George, and when they left, George tested out the full version, sending himself years ... Read More

4.Postman starring: Todd Allen, Scott Bairstow, Annie Costner, Charles Esten, Shawn Hatosy October 13, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.43
This is one of the most underrated movies of all time. The Postman is not just your average post-apocalyptic scenario. It is a deeply emotional and philosophical film about the power of hope. What I love about this movie is that it shows how something very simple-- mail-- can become a symbol for everything that makes us human and for everything that makes us American. Yes, its a little long, and yes, the ending requires a slight suspension of disbelief. But the movie is good enough that you wont notice the length, and moving enough that disbelief hardly even enters the mind. I love this film, and recommend it highly.

5.Doom Runners starring: Lea Moreno Young, Dean O'Gorman, Bradley Pierce, Nathan Jones, Tim Curry directed by: Brendan Maher November 23, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.49
I originally saw this movie on Nickelodeon, and liked it a lot. Then, two or three years later, they played it again, and I taped it. I think this a wonderfully crafted film, with suspense, sci-fi, drama, and romance, all blended in. What more do you want? The premise is basically that, after their grandfather dies, Jada and Adam have to find their way to New Eden, the only safe place left in their polluted, poisonous, post-apocoliptic world. They, with the aide of their friends, Vike, Deke, and Lizzy, have to do this while eluding Dr. Kayo and his evil power to wipe minds. I recommend this movie to everyone--buy it!

6.Soldier (1998) starring: Kurt Russell, Jason Scott Lee, Jason Isaacs, Connie Nielsen, Sean Pertwee directed by: Paul W.S. Anderson August 31, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
On second thought, my title to this review should be "Missing THE Action", which is the film's dominating and damning problem: starring action hero Kurt Russell ("Escape from New York") and directed by genre resident Paul Anderson ("Mortal Kombat"), I expected "Soldier" to be a veritable action-powerhouse...yet the film goes beyond missing its mark and lacks any definitive direction - unsure if it wants to be a an action flick, a survival story, or a social critique. "Todd" (Russell) is a soldier born into and raised in your typical lifelong military program: taught to kill as soon as he can walk, he excels in his training and becomes the callous veteran of many conflicts. However, when a rival program pits its stronger, faster units against the older models in an exhibition, Todd is presumed killed and ... Read More

7.The Running Man starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Conchita Alonso, Yaphet Kotto, Jim Brown, Jesse Ventura directed by: Paul Michael Glaser August 31, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.25
Picture this. Ben Richards (Schwarzenegger) is on chopper patrol when an order comes through to fire into an area where inoccent citizens stand. The order of course is obsured, and Richards declines, aborting the mission when his superior passes on orders to Richards' co-pilots to take control of the craft and resume the mission. In a struggle to do what is right, Richards attempts to to keep his co-pilots away from the controls, but fails in doing so as he is simply outmaned. About a year or two later, enter the game show "The Running Man." On the screen in front of a large live audience, we see the events that night of Richards aboard the chopper. The order comes through to not fire, as there are simply too many innocents in the area. Richards defies orders and proceeds to shoot down a number of innocents and destroy ... Read More

8.2001 - A Space Odyssey starring: Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Daniel Richter, Leonard Rossiter directed by: Stanley Kubrick June 12, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.95
Always been a fan of the 2001 series and finally having the capability to watch 2001 on blu ray has made all the better. After I picking up the movie I popped it in to check to make sure it worked and everything was perfect, not only did it look crisp and clean but I couldn't even turn it off until I forced myself to say ok you have class get to it. A good buy and worth the time.

9.Fifth Element starring: Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm, Chris Tucker directed by: Luc Besson April 28, 1998

Arrived quickly and appears in good shape. It is a Christmas gift and I haven't played it.

10.Le Dernier Combat (The Last Battle) starring: Pierre Jolivet, Jean Bouise, Jean Reno, Fritz Wepper, Christiane Krüger directed by: Luc Besson August 21, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.75
this is a very interesting movie for luc besson buffs, but its even more minimal than i had anticipated. its worth watching, but set aside some time to watch it as you have to be completely focussed on it to follow it.
