It was a toss between Star Wars & Terminator, but I chose Terminator since it had my adrenaline going.

Why the "Andromeda Strain?" Well, it's because the movie is actually about the scientific method. As such, it's what I consider a science fiction film. They find an alien life form, the isolate it, and begin to systematically examine it. The theme of the film could probably be said to be: "The best laid plans..."

I love Bradbury as much as anyone. (The guy is from near my hometown in Illinois) And I've met Mr. Bradbury a couple of times. But I still think his brand of fiction is soft science fiction, while Andromeda Strain is an example of HARD science fiction.

Hmmm. Ok.

I have always seen Andromeda Strain; kind of opposite of how you do. More of a...I guess a thriller is how I would probably classify it...a thriller with science fiction thrown in.

Yes he was. In the Omega man, he played a character who's blood held antibodies aginst a world wide virus that turned people into zombies.

And he was in Soylent Green, I think. I never thought of Chuck as a science fiction guy.....

There's definitely something that clicks with me every time I see that film. While the other movies on the list that I have seen are highly entertaining or thought-provoking, for me Blade Runner sends chills through my psyche as it's not that far from reality in many ways.

Status: offline 		I'm not going to read through 4 pages to see if this movie was mentioned.
It was probably from the 60's.  A group of doctors/scientists were rendered microscopic in order to be injected into a man and operate on his brain.  They had to fight off his body's defenses as it attacked them.  Anyone know the name of that movie?  The special effects, by today's standards would be lame, but I remember it being a cool movie.
