Alien and the thing are the best for me... The worst are possibly modern zombies

My favourite sc-fi characters would have to be Predator, because he is a dreadlock and mask wearing, laser shooting, invisible warrior, who keeps skulls as trophys. Also Arnold as Terminator, dont need to explain why i think. Xeno you are right modern zombies are poor, and I am legend...wtf But what film Alien disappointed me was War of the Worlds, i felt it needed to show more, and the Aliens werent believable, i still like the film, but i dislike when stuff is not explained in movies. Prometheus has done this also, but im patient because there will be a sequel.

The excellent: anything made by Wayne Barlowe. It's no coincidence he did concept art for Hellboy 1&2, Avatar, and Pacific Rim. Those things look like they are from another world, while also being plausible organisms. Apart from mile-high striders, but I'm won over by the visuals to grant him those. The good: Rygel from Farscape. Love, love, love that manipulative bastard. The way that puppet became an engaging character in the show is amazing. The bad: pretty much anything from Star Trek, sorry. I understand that tight TV budgets made things beyond pointy ears and ridged foreheads unaffordable, but come on. Yeah, I'm not too keen on rubberfaced humanoid aliens. Doctor Who at least does interestingly cheesy things with its lint money. The ugly: the Space Jockeys. Nah, I kid :)

Aye, I know :) Noticed you changed the image in your post, which used to be [img]http://craiggav.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/wayne-barlowe-header.jpg[/img] and imo shows off the versatility as well. But y'all, if you haven't done a google image search of his work, do so. It's worth it.

(apparently the img tag didn't take kindly to the "?w=640;h=385;crop=1;" part) Of course. Giger's an obvious choice for me as well :) I left the screenings of Prometheus that I attended chanting Giger! Giger!! GIGER!!1123 The moment when the Engineer launches for Earth gives me goosebumps even on reviewing. Nice set work.

I just finished watching 'The Giant Gila Monster' and the monster was a bad actor. My favorite SciFi creature would be Robby The Robot from 'Forbidden Planet' He has it all including a bit of humor.

Well if ya want cheesy monsters then check this out. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xulXFB3-A3c&feature=player_detailpage#t=23s]Night of the Lepus[/url] Yes, this film exists. No it's not a parody, as far as I know.

Thanks for posting a few pix from the Gila Monster movie. It is not a classix SciFi movie bur did appeal to the Drive-In movie going set.(Are there Drive-in Movies outside of the USA?) Stay away from the original song being promoted in this flix as it sounds, well, alien. In looking over the pix here sometimes the cars look like toys. That can't be true can it?

Night of the Lepus This is one movie that I missed. Yes the film clip makes me want to avoid the movie at all costs. In checking the acting credits I see that Star Trek 'Bones' has a role in this movie. That doesn't help. It has been awhile but I think it was a TV movie rather than a theater release..
