Alien [1979]

booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on Alien
One of those movies which drifts along, and then, before you know it, an alien comes out of John Hurt's stomach! One of the most frightening of any alien creations in the history of cinema. - Paul Rance.

Back to the Future - The Complete Trilogy (Full Screen Edition)

Back to the Future - The Complete Trilogy (Widescreen Edition)

booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on Back To The Future
Michael J. Fox puts in a great performance as Marty McFly, as does Christopher Lloyd as a nutty, but lovable, eccentric professor. Written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, 'Back To The Future' was one of the best and most inventive sci-fi/fantasy movies of the '80s, as we see Marty transported back to the '50s, where he sees his Mom and Dad - before he was born... - Paul Rance.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind--Collector's Edition (two discs) [1977]

booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on Close Encounters Of The Third Kind
'Close Encounters Of The Third Kind' had the largest set in film history at the time it was made, and the film itself cost $20 million. Written and directed by Steven Spielberg, it was one of the deeper science fiction films. With that famous alien five note communication signature, 'Close Encounters' gives the viewer plenty to ponder about man's existence, and where he stands in the overall scheme of things. - Paul Rance.

Contact [1997]

booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on Contact
Adapted from Carl Sagan's fine novel of the same name, 'Contact' is pretty true to the book - a fairly rare thing in movies. It's a beautiful film, which is as thoughtful and moving as the book was. Jodie Foster puts in a nice, sensitive performance as Dr. Ellie Arroway. - Paul Rance.

Godzilla [1954]

booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on Godzilla (1954)
The first 'Godzilla' movie has a strong anti-nuke message, as man's destructive tendancies rouses the great 150 foot Godzilla from his slumber in the ocean, and he's as mad as hell as a result, destroying all things human and anything created by humans. He nearly wipes out Tokyo single handed, which then gives scientist Serizawa (Akihiko Hirata) a dilemma. He has created something he wishes he hadn't - the oxygen destroyer. If he uses it, he can stop Godzilla, but will mankind get their hands on it, and use it in a nefarious way? The moving, haunting music adds to the unexpected poignancy of this rather, unexpectedly philosophical tale. We need a Godzilla in every city! That'd put mankind in his place. - Paul Rance/booksmusicfilmstv.com.

Godzilla [1998]

booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on Godzilla (1998)
Good enough take on Japan's most famous monster, though he's not as lovable as the all-action hero who's basically a good guy. This Godzilla is very naughty and loves to destroy. - Paul Rance.

The Man Who Fell To Earth [1976]

booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on The Man Who Fell To Earth
David Bowie is impressive as a disorientated alien in his first major film lead. His character, Thomas Newton, has a disarming, other worldly air about him, and it's a film that is pretty disturbing, but it has its endearing moments, too. - Paul Rance.

Scanners [1981]

booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on Scanners
Forever known as the movie with the exploding head scene, 'Scanners' has a lot more about it than just that. It's more of a psychological film, than a gore-filled flick. - Paul Rance.

She [1964]

booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on She
Ursula Andress stars, as an eternal queen in for a rude awakening, in this excellent adaptation of the Rider Haggard classic. A strong cast helps to make this a fine boy's own meets horror adventure. The Amazon.co.uk reviewer (below) has an interesting view on things... - Paul Rance.

Star Wars Trilogy on DVD (Widescreen Edition - Amazon.com)

Harrison Ford DVDs

booksmusicfilmstv.com Comments on Star Wars
'Star Wars', as well as becoming the most successful science fiction film in cinema history, has also helped to shut up cinema snobs who've derided the science fiction genre over the years. 'Star Wars' is consistently in the top 10 in all-time film polls, and is the biggest reason science fiction films are now more popular than they've ever been. It's questionable whether 'Star Wars' the best sci-fi movie ever made, but it combines all the elements that makes a popular movie - memorable characters, a good story, especially amazing special effects - and is a classic cinematic fairy story of our age. - Paul Rance.
