MrFood wrote:'Solaris' (what's the remake like?)The most recent version of Solaris it's a weird movie... they try to make a commercial film, but they try to respect the source of material, that is as uncommercial as it gets. The original works as an stand alone piece, but as an adaptation I prefer the modern one, even if it's a worse movie, because they try to adapt the fast paced narrative of the book. They still get too much into the love thing and too little on the whole weirdness and alien thing.Stalker can be considered the other sci-fi Tarkovsky film. The Children of Men it's a good film, also. Other two non-traditional sci-fi films that I have enjoyed were Golem, by Piotr Szulkin, and The American Astronaut, by Cory McAbee

A book, but Light

THX 1138 is pretty cool.

I second Brazil.And any of Cronenberg's more whacked out, sci-fi leaning films - Naked Lunch and Videodrome especially.

Two Thousand and One
