I really need some good sci-fi movies to watch, I like the weird or philosophical sci-fi movies. Does anybody know some good ones in these genres?

I really like movies like:

  • Cube
  • 2001
  • 2010
  • Dark City
  • Primer
  • Pi
  • onepoint0
  • a scanner darkly


If anyone has some suggestions that would fit this list, please share :)

I, too, recommend Solaris. Didn't they remake that movie with George Clooney?

yeah I'm downloading Stalker right now, the summary seems very promising. And I have seen the Solaris remake, but never the original. I'm going to watch it.

Can't believe Brazil hasn't been mentioned yet. It can be pretty unforgiving unless you are open to watching unusual things.

I don't think it's necessarily philosophical or anything, but Soylent Green is definitely worth watching. Also you should give Videodrome and/or Scanners a try.

A lot of good ones already mentioned, but i have to second Logan's Run. Ive just always liked it for some reason, not really a classic though. Blade Runner, Brazil,Mad Max Trilogy (if it could be called sci-fi), AI, are all pretty decent.

I like Sci-Fi and Horror movies. But I think Cube is a poor Sci-Fi Horror movie. It was simply not worth watching for me.

I don't know what weird or philosophical means to you and I didn't watch any of the other movies you mentioned.

If it means a combination of Sci-Fi and Horror like in the movie Cube, than I recommend you these two superior movies:

- Alien

- Aliens (yes, it's the sequel to Alien)

My other three favorite Sci-Fi movies I recommend anyone who likes the genre to see:

- The Matrix

- Children of Men

- The Truman Show

Other good movies for fans of Sci-Fi:

- The Matrix Reloaded

- The Matrix Revolutions (it's not very good, but concludes the trilogy)

- Blade Runner

- Serenity

- Star Wars Saga

- Minority Report

- Artificial Intelligence

While entertaining, I can't say that Starship Troopers was either original or philisophical.

The Matrix is weird, original, and philosophical.

Stalker, definitely. Blade Runner is pretty good too, but not very philosophical. Still, Stalker is the best science fiction movie ever, and it seems to fit your criteria. So buy it! :x
