I agree that A Clockwork Orange was a brilliant movie (I have yet to read the book) but I was confused about you considering it to be a science fiction movie/book.Originally Posted by jrgen
As mentioned above, 1984 doesn't do the book justice, but A Clockwork Orange is just brilliant.It's been awhile but... huh?!
Clockwork Orange is set in the future, so people associate anything to do with the future as science fiction. Thats the books genre.
Well, I've seen it described as a science fiction movie several times. Maybe there is a more proper description of the movie that I'm not aware of.
Either way its a great film (A Clockwork Orange) and the book is wicked cool (esp.) if you can understand the lingo >.<
Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.
Fantasy
1) The Nightwatch: An awesome movie that very few people have heard of and even less have seen. If you see this movie you will not be disappointed good graphics, storyline, and characters, though it can be a bit confusing at points.
2)The Incredibles (i dont think this counts as fantasy but whatever)
3) Lord of the Rings
4) Edward Scissorhands: A movie featuring Johnny Depp before he got really famous
5) Groundhog Day: A classic movie.
6) Monty Pyhton and the Holy Grail. 2 words "Killer Rabbit".
Sci-fi
1) Back to the Future series: I cant believe no one has mentioned any of these movies yet.
2) Soylent Green: A classic that has been alueded to in numerous other movies and shows.
3) Jurassic Park (the 1st one)
4) Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure: see Keanu Reeves work before The Matrix.
5) Donny Darko: simply put this is a cult classic.
Now for some words of wisdom:
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.....hmmm wait just a minute.
Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to make mistakes when nobody is looking

What are you going to classify it? Realistic Fiction? It's set in the dystopian future in which gangs of spandex clad lads go out and drink drug-laden milk and then go engage in "ultra-violence". And it deals with controversial chemical rehabilitation.I agree that A Clockwork Orange was a brilliant movie (I have yet to read the book) but I was confused about you considering it to be a science fiction movie/book.As mentioned above, 1984 doesn't do the book justice, but A Clockwork Orange is just brilliant.It's been awhile but... huh?!
Yeah, so see (and/or read) A Clockwork Orange if you haven't already, thread-starting man.
Serenity, Serenity, and Serenity. Though it's more fun if you watch Firefly first. Not at all necessary though. But, seriously, Serenity is my favorite movie.
Army of Darkness is a good "fantasy" film.
The Thing is a great (and creepy!) sci-fi film. Definitely a good one to watch...
