*My suggestion is a 2019 movie called an "Alita battle Angel".
Classic. And...a lot of people have not seen it I'm guessing!!

The Thing from Another World [1951], just a good romp, with some of the best ever film dialogue.
Curse/Night of the Demon [1957], actually scared me the first time I saw it.
Cat People [1942], film-noire as fantasy-horror.
And if you can find it [relatively] uncut...
Freaks [1932], still a surprising if not shocking film.

 

[Dave]

These films are classics, and rightly so. I expect that we could make a long list of others too, but if you want to see something newer then the most recent films I have watched on Netflix were The Old Guard and Project Power. I haven't ventured out to the cinema yet since lockdown, but cinemas are open again, and I have heard really good things about Tenet, Christopher Nolan's most recent film that is showing in cinemas right now.

 

[Mad Alice]

Oblivion is interesting cinema.
Even if the whole film seems like its something a vampire voodoo priest would suck out of the repairman jack novels.
But then it does star Tom Cruise.

Night of the Demon is an awesome film, among my top 5 horror films. It's an adaptation of MR James' short story Casting the Runes.

Another couple of favourites of mine that are a little more obscure are Time Bandits (more fantasy than scifi) and another couple of MR James' Oh Whistle (the Michael Hordern version) and A View From a Hill.

I'll out the two MR James films. I think I've seen A view from a hill many years ago..
As for Time Bandits? I spent [pocket] money to see that in the local fleapit with my friends. A great afternoon was had by all.

 

[Rodders]

Time Bandits. What a fabulous, forgotten movie.

Time Bandits. What a fabulous, forgotten movie.

Forgotten by whom? I've worn through three copies of various formats.

 

[Rodders]

Me, really. I haven't seen it for maybe 30 years when we had a copy on VHS.

I must address that, actually.

if you a really full of the wall film , ive got just the film for you Darkstar 1974. This film ia one the best science fiction comedies of all time and it it one part cautionary tale , which I will reface form telling you if you haven't already seen this kooky wonderful film .

Not much remembered now, I think, The Hidden with Michael Nouri and Kyle MacLachlan. Not great, but pretty good s.f./horror, with Chris Mulkey, among others, including (I think) Claudia Christian's feature film debut. Another is Strange Invaders with Paul Le Mat; again, not great but fun if you can tolerate '80s s.f. Similarly, Super 8, a 2000s pastiche of '80s s.f., and Spielberg in particular, is enjoyable.
