Best Sci-Fi Tournament - Round 1, Group F
Coming soon:
I went with:
Videodrome
Stalker
Timecrimes
Robocop
Jurassic Park
Waterworld
I hope people give enough love to Waterworld, it's extremely misunderstood and under-appreciated.
I hated Waterworld... Which is too bad, because I liked the concept of the movie. It was just not something I could vote for.
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
Waterworld has 8 votes and Videodrome has 6..
brb, killing self.
But what about Dennis Hopper's over-the-top acting as the stereotypical head villain? Now come on: that alone surely raises it from mere fizzled concept to seriously unforgettable disaster. I mean, how many end of the world movies can make you actually wish that the world would come to an end just so that you don't have to watch any more? Remarkable!Originally Posted by Odetta
Oh, and
Videodrome
Stalker
Jurassic Park
Robocop
Timecrimes
DRY LAND IS NOT A MYTH I'VE SEEN IT!!!!
Voted:
Robocop (I'll BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR)
Waterworld
Jurassic Park (Mr Hammond....the phones are working)

I never would have dreamed so many people liked Waterworld. If it has so many fans, how did it become one of the biggest box office bombs of all time?

Look at the money Waterworld made on rentals...there is your answer lol. (it also was a huge draw internationally...in the end the film almost doubles it's money.

A result of pure hype. The movie made tons of news for being a stinker and people wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Count me among them. After I watched it, I realized that everybody was right, for the most part.

I love Waterworld and I first saw it on cable. Lots of movies failed at the box office but then gained their following on TV and home video.
Waterworld is indeed a poorly constructed movie but somehow despite that (or maybe even partly because of it) I find myself stopping to watch it whenever I come across it on TV. I figure that if it can lure me in everytime then it must have done something right.
I find Waterworld endearing. It's like the amazing movie that couldn't lol. I watched it a lot when I was a kid on my black box.

The premise and setting of Waterworld is pretty unique.
My dad loves Waterworld. Like genuinely loves it, without a trace of irony. Pretty cool concept at least - in fact, I'd love to see it remade. If someone just took the basic concept and made a truly classic movie out of it. Better a poor remade than a great one, imo.
Never be cruel and never be cowardly. And if you ever are, always make amends.

What's wrong with it as is? I would however love an extended edition on blu-Ray.
Waterworld is the most expensive low budget film ever made. There is definitely a b-movie feel to it. The amount of money they spent on building massive tanks, using water etc ate up a great deal of that budget.

Jeez… I didn't sign up for freaking Waterworld addicts support. This discussion is going downhill...
Yeah as much as I love Waterworld as an overlooked classic, I hope Stalker gets more votes.
it just did
bears also voted Videodrome
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need one more Stalker vote to tie for sixth!
The Mist and Jurassic Park for me.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
The mist is doing way better as a Sci fi than a horror, power of multiple votes.
