WHAT Are Your Favorite Spaceships from Movies And Television?

[BionicGriff]

USS Thunderchild:

Honorable Mention, the Defiant:

 

[RX-79G]

Is it really possible 221 responses contain this few Star Wars references, and not a single X-Wing? Are we all too cool for school?

The Millennium Falcon is the single greatest, most aesthetically pleasing and bad-ass spaceship of all time. Live with it.


But here's another favorite:

Yay! Thirty-five(?) years on, I recognised it!

I've always been partial to A-Wings myself.

X-wing is Luke's ship, Falcon is Han's. Hence, IMHO, this tarnishes the X-Wing

Even as a 6 year old watching the original Star Wars in the waaay back in '77 I wanted to be Han. Who wanted to be goody-two-shoe's Luke?

 

[Cathbad]

I wanted to be Chewy...

But I turned into Jabba.

Who wants a starship with no bathroom? Han and Chewie have a mobile bachelors' pad.

The spacecraft that crash-landed in the original "Alien" film, has always unnerved me some particular reason - not least for the weird design and the spooky "Space Jockey" pilot inside.

Cool stuff.

No contest: my favourite spaceship was a submarine: Thunderbird 4.

Superthunderstingcar!

The scene in that movie with the ships is one the best moments in cinema history. That ship is one the best and most original Alien spacecrafts of all . time H. R. Geiger was a genius.

 

[Khuratokh]

H. R. Geiger was a genius.

An insane sex-obsessed drug-addled genius

 

[reiver33]

You say that like it's a bad thing...

[RX-79G]

Did they make that out of left over Leonov images?

If I remember correctly, they had to recreate the Discovery for 2010 A Space Odyssey . Stanley Kubrick had the original destroyed because he didn't want to see it turning up in another science fiction movie.

I never got the Han-bug - or the Luke one, for that matter. SW was all about R2-D2 and that's who I wanted to be.

The spacecraft that crash-landed in the original "Alien" film, has always unnerved me some particular reason - not least for the weird design and the spooky "Space Jockey" pilot inside.

I think there is something Giger and Scott tapped into with that scene; I also get an evisceral, primeval response to the derelict and the space jockey. That scene is deeply sinister and suggestive - and wholly confusing (in a good way) - and I felt terribly disappointed at the handling and backstory it got in Prometheus.

Anyway, I reiterate:

B-wings
Moya
Close Encounters UFOs (road ones)
The Cygnus
The Defiant
& Loads of the prequel trilogy ships.

I'm becoming a bit of a fan of the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels.

 

[Ronald T.]

All versions of the Starship Enterprise. And perhaps one of my favorites of all time is the gigantic mothership that slowly sails across the top of Devil's Tower in "Close Encounter's of the First Kind", and settles there, suspended in all its glory. That scene always gives me cold chills. I absolutely love it.

Quite embarrassing. I just noticed I wrote "of the First Kind" in my earlier post, when it should've been "of the Third Kind". Clearly, I must've have been smoking dope and skipping rope when I wrote this. And the weird part is...I don't use drugs. I guess it was just a brain fart. I must admit that foolish mistakes such as this are well within the realm of my various talents. Sorry!
