Crash (1996) ... excellent mention ... sci-fi of the highest cinema caliber ...

I don't know how many people here have seen this film, but for the ones who did not this is a highly recommended cyborg sci-fi flick.
David Cronenberg is a cinematic force to be reckon with, a Canadian master filmmaker.

Like Ken Russell some of Cronenberg's films have been hard to get in the past. Naked Lunch is a fave. A short William S. Burroughs sci-fi break

Just a short film, but very emotional: FTL

This is from the You Tube channel DUST. For those who want to scratch their Sci-Fi itch, but are not in the mood to watch an entire film DUST has short films with high production value. Deep Clean is my fav:

I've seen all 10, the truth is these lists could go on forever. I saw by chance "Invisible Invaders" with John Agar last night on SIY's recommendation, it was amusing to see a species capable of interstellar travel with no weapons technology at all. Another alien invader defeated with noise right up my alley.
I think "The Brain from Planet Arous " was a better film.

We have already mentioned these four sci-fi flicks before; I just want to recommend them even more so today in these times we all live in. ...For their philosophical values, and good wills.

This last one ^ includes both version; the 2008 remake and the 1951 original.
That makes four.

Sure there are many more with strong philosophical values, but these are my four for now.
If you think of others with similar values...it's a free world, we share the best of mankind ...

I have so many flicks in my Netflix queue, ...hundreds.
Too many movies/documentaires, not enough time.

Even on 4K Blu-rays they accumulate in their wrappers.

Sci-fi ...

I watched this in a cinema tent, somewhere in a field in Hampshire, at the first Creamfields festival in 1998: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creamfields

I wish I hadn't, it really didn't fit my mood at time and I haven't been able to watch it since. I do like Cronenberg, Naked Lunch and Scanners are my favourites (maybe it's just J G Ballard I don't get on with).

Maybe listening to Pop Tones would help.
