The Eighties Sci-Fi Thread.

while looking through my dvd collection yesterday, i remembered a film that i freaking love, D.A.R.Y.L. This was such an awesome film when i was kid. hell it still awesome today, this, Explorers, Flight of the Navigator, Last Starfighter and Solarwarriors all classics.

Does anyone else Remember D.A.R.Y.L? and what it stands for?

[The Reaper Man@Cult Labs]

Yeah I've got D.A.R.Y.L the kids love it.

It stands for...
DARIO ARGENTO RIGHTLY YOU LOVE.....

[pedromonkey]

yes reaps that's exactly what it stands for.

here's what it really stands for....

Data
Analyzing
Robot
Youth
Lifeform

pretty sad how i know that really

Not Sci-fi,but who's got BMX Bandits?

I've also got a soft spot for THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT.

I really need to see THE LAST STARFIGHTER.

BMX Bandits is a bad bad film with Nicole Kidman's Ginger Perm. The Plot is crap too about stolen Walkie Talkies. Just bad yet for all it's faults, it's incredibly fun to watch.

Ive Got Philidelphia Experiment but not seen it in a long time.

And there should be law stating that every person man, woman child oap, should at some point in there life watch Last Starfighter at least once in there life, This and Back to The Future are possibly the greatest of the 80s sci-fi movie. It's just got a 25th anniversary edition on R1, i suggest picking it up.

Two great fun films there Reaps. Starfighter is a must.

I don't have BMX Bandits but my cousin does.I used to love it as a kid.My main recollection of it is the fat kid on the BMX,always eating a choc-ice (or it may have been an ice-cream)

Also starrred David Argue from Razorback with his Minder t-shirt (just remembered that as well).Marc Warren from Hustle always reminds me of him.

i forgot a bout the fat kid. yeah always eating an ice cream. I used to BMX because of this film.

There's a Spanish english language option release of Timerider.It might be uncut but I've never seen that version.Nice to see Flash Gordon & The Rocketeer being praised here.
