anagram for "Summoning" and "The Channeling" Nice one Next

All childhood favourites (except Legend which I still need to see) and especially love to see The Dark Crystal up there! In case you haven't seen any of the following 80s fantasy flicks, I would highly recommend checking them out: Excalibur (1981), Son of the White Mare (1981), Conan the Barbarian (1982), Fire and Ice (1983), Heroic Times (1984), Ladyhawke (1985), and Willow (1988). Happy viewing and look forward to your next video 😊

I didn't know about The Hidden, thank you for introducing me to it!

Videodrome is ahead of its time between fiction and reality of the.mass media . It was the first film I saw virtual reality Google's on screen .

re _eXistenZ,_ if i had a pound for every 1999 film about virtual reality I'd have three pounds, not much, but odd when you think about it

truly great list with a super intelligent/creative commentary - thank you

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die."

Regarding Bladerunner, you forgot to mention the writer whose short story this is based on: Philip K. Dick, he has been the author of (or inspiration for) about half to three quarters of the best SF movies made.

So many treasures!

The Hidden get a round of applause just for the cool cars 😅

The City of Lost Children is so weird and trippy that its worth watching just to remark on how strange it is.

5 great picks delivered so eloquently. Just shared this with my 20yo son, thankyou.

This is such a great channel. I hope we will get more videos soon. Thanks for all the great analyses.

Where in the world is Scanners? The single best scene of bodily destruction, a head exploding, and a very real storyline, the Thalidomide crisis. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.

blade runner never got me...boring plot. plot totally unrelated to sci fi. only sci fi thing there is environment and that's all. it's like watching time machine used to turn back in time to grocery store before the closing time...and that's all. nothing more. no time paradoxes, no plot twist. nothing. you get your grocery. thanks time machine. nothing more.

Blade Runner was a solid movie, but a poor version of the book. I doubt any producer could get funding for movie true to the book.

Dark City is still one of my all time favourites, plus the rest of the films on this list are all top tier. Strange Days was real cyberpunk.

Thank you for so eloquently adding four films to my must watch list :)

A film that has almost no reception cannot define an era.

eXistenZ!!!

Too bad you disclose too much of these movies plots . Your vid is a gigantic spoiler.

Not a '64 Chevy Malibu, but a '57 Chevy Malibu.

Repo Man = Best. Movie. Ever. Of course I’m kidding, but I saw it in the theaters and found it wildly entertaining. Another movie that has the right vibe to be on this list, is “A Boy and his Dog”, which stars a very young Don Johnson, and is hilariously bizarre (yes, I know it’s from 1975).

Sadly you've omitted "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" and "Liquid Sky". Both are too good not to include...

Oh brother. More feminist nonsense.

Matrix where?

Ow, that sibilants, pop sock please

Great choices! Westernkind is amazing!

Although it's not Science fiction, Apartment 0 with Colin Frith must be included as Cult classic 😊

*'Existenz' is a mish-mash of confusion, idiocy and boredom rolled into one completely silly movie*

I have never heard of Videodrome.

So good to see someone talk about the film that opened up my s for French cinema, City Of the Lost Children is a masterpiece that's not talked enough about. Delicatessen was released in 1991 but I remember I did not watch it until I saw this film in 1995. Ad of course, Amélie changed me into a romantic fan. There is so much original in this film that I think it's one of my all time favorite. All those you mention are good. It's rare to see a video like this that I agree with all of the picks. I had eXistenZ on a VHS and Strange Days had so good music in it that I fell in love, again, with Juliette Lewis. You got a new subscriber. Love all those movies.

I can't even watch Videodrome anymore, because James Woods is such a witless twat.

ヒドゥンのラストの優しさ

The Thirteenth Floor would fit nicely here

What is the definition of underrated? Most of them are all big box office success and critically succeeded too. Those movies changed director’s career in a good way. Once upon a time in America was a tragic at the time but now we have 4 and a half hour version. People cares about that movie a lot

Dark City is the mother of the Matrix. An amazing movie, one of my all time favorite.

The narration totally kills this video that could have been so nice.. channel added to the block list

My favorite part of _The Hidden_ was Claudia Christian boffing the guy to death.

Best movie on this list, IMHO, is Blood Simple.

Except for Blade Runner, how did they "Change Cinema Forever"?

Dark City is a masterpiece

City of Lost Children still haunts me. It was so... beautiful amd scary. I saw it as a late teen in the theater. My boyfriend named his cat miette. We were both captivated by it and it lives on in our lives. In graphic design and marketing decades later i STILL think of it, of the story. There is no better dystopian movie than this. Period.

Jennifer Connelly has looked 25 since the 80's and not the wierd plastic surgery looking 25 either

A darn good selection. I have them all so am a bit biased. Just missing GATTACA..tho that would be 6… 😄

It always surprised me that Strange Days was so poorly received. At the time, I was stoked that it was available on a special widescreen VHS tape in a plastic case. And yet today DVD is the best you can get...

a new favorite channel

No Buckaroo Bonzai? No good.

I was at that notorious first screening of Brazil, or as it became "Non-screening" of Terry Gilliam arguing with Universal. It was quite an experience. Gilliam's POV was, "I am going to show my film!" and then Universal called the theater, and Gilliam would run up into the projection booth, talk to Universal, and then come back into the theater and tell us what happened. He was going to show us his cut. Universal won that first round - we didn't get to see it at that screening, but later that evening Gilliam showed it at another theater.

Repo Man sounds like a rejected Aykroyd script.
