Top 5 of the Last 5 – SciFi.

Part four of six. So I decided to do SciFi this week. I Want To Believe is out today (along with Step Brothers) and I already did comedy. Below is a list of the top five movies from the past five years (in my opinion). Be sure to check back every Friday for the next two weeks to see my picks for the best of the best.
__________

Children of Men. (2006)

I remember seeing the trailer for this and hearing the line “Because since women stopped being able to have babies, what’s the point?”, and thinking “Wow. Lame.” Suffice it to say I was incredibly wrong and ended up seeing this movie four times in theaters.

Quote: “As the sound of the playgrounds faded, the despair set in. Very odd, what happens in a world without children’s voices.”
_____

Sunshine. (2007)

Yeah the science doesn’t make much sense. But who cares? I remember downloading this movie (because I couldn’t catch it in theaters) and watching it for a week straight.

Quote: “Kaneda! What do you see? Kaneda! What do you see? Kaneda! Kaneda!!”
_____

Cloverfield. (2008)

I loved it. Everyone else I saw it with hated it. I remember leaving the theater and not being able to say anything about it because I didn’t want to get in a pissing contest with my friends. But, if you read my review, you can tell how much I enjoyed it. Read it here!

Quote: “Look at me! Look at me. I love you!”
_____

28 Days Later. (2003)

This is actually a default choice. I’m not big on SciFi and I had to choose five. The scene of London’s streets left abandoned and desolate was awesome enough to get it on the list.

Quote: “He was full of plans. Have you got any plans, Jim? Do you want us to find a cure and save the world or just fall in love and fuck? Plans are pointless. Staying alive’s as good as it gets.”
_____

The Fountain. (2006)

I saw this on opening day (November 22) in 2006 with my buddy James from the Move It Move It staff. Right when the credits appeared on the screen, some bitch ass fucking sorority chick in front of us let out a “Um… okayyyyy?” Dumb hoe. The rest of the crowd also left the theater either making beatbox sounds with their mouths or in a dumbstruck silence. Anyway, I walked outside to discover that my vehicle had been broken into and my CD player was stolen. Instead of bitching and crying about it, much to James’ surprise, I continued to talk about how amazing The Fountain was.

Quote: “All these years, all these memories, there was you. You pull me through time.”
_____

I had a hard time with SciFi because, again, I don’t really care for it much. Only two more weeks left of the Top 5. Seems like there’s been a lot of opinions on what I’ve chosen for the past weeks posts. As always, if you agree or disagree with any of my choices, feel free to leave a comment.
