Fellow Chicago Astronomer Movie Fans

As I started this topic, I was figuring how we can keep some order and not lose our way when discussing our best and worse movies.

So this is the plan:

[/li][li]Start a new thread for any new movie not already posted.
[/li][li]When responding to a movie review, please add it to the corresponding thread
[/li][li]Please do not attack others for their opinion and views

As intelligent Chicago Astronomers I know we will all adhere to these simple rules of behavior.

Now. lets hear from you all...

It might be a good idea to group space movie threads into genre sub-catagories such as:

NASA "chronicles" (real and fictitious):
Marooned
Capricorn One
Apollo 13
The Right Stuff
Space Cowboys

Collision with another celestial body:
When Worlds Collide
Meteor
Deep Impact
Armageddon

Space Opera:
Star Wars, Star Trek, and imitations of either.

Hostile invadors:
War of the Worlds
Independance Day

Friendly contact:
"Contact"
Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Projected future utopias/distopias:
Things To Come
Logan's Run
Silent Running
I Robot
2001: A Space Odyssey

We go to the Moon or Mars:
Red Planet
Mission to Mars
Robinson Crusoe on Mars(!)
Destination Moon

alternatively for some of the above a catagory called Novel Adaptations:
Dune
Blade Runner
The Time Machine

Spoofs/satires:
Galaxy Quest
Mars Attacks

Golden Turkeys:
Plan 9 from Outer Space
Battlefield Earth

and finally a Miscellaneous catagory for those movies
that don't fit anywhere else:
?

You may want to consider these as a way of reorganizing threads when they get to be really numerous.

Wow....that's a loto organizing there!

Proboards, (This Forum's server), won't allow me to sub-categorize subjects in the manner you describe. I could do it from the main board, but it would overextend a subject to many many boards and extend the homepage to a ridiculous length. What I may do is this...

I'll create a new forum board on a different server linked directly to this one...in that way all that forum would discuss is movies. They would be sub-catagorized the way you thought it out.

I think that would be cool, and I owe it all to you for the prompt! I'll work on that when I have a few hours to concentrate in creating it.

Thanks.
