- TheMachine1, on 06/13/2009, -0/+11Star Trek (TV series mainly) intro gave me goosebumps for years.
- webgeek2point0, on 06/13/2009, -2/+10Best intro ever:
If this is a consular ship...where is the Ambassador?
Commander, tear this ship apart until you've found those plans
and bring me the Ambassador. I want her alive! - SurrealDream, on 06/13/2009, -0/+7I almost Shatnered myself when I heard Spock repeat the monologue at the end of the new movie. Perfection.
- SurrealDream, on 06/13/2009, -1/+6Oh get over it you two, it was great.
Seriously, too much hate in this world over something as innocent as a SciFi movie. - inactive, on 06/13/2009, -0/+5Anyone ever seen Wizards? its a sci fi fantasy cartoon movie from i think the early 70s, it had a sweet opening monologue with the world exploding and everything, i think it was a nuclear holocaust. Then thousands of years later elves and wizards and dinosaurs and goblins all appear and this evil wizard ***** named blackwolf finds nazi technology and propaganda and attempts to use it to conquer the world. Awesome battles with elves and fairies that got swords and arrows and magic going against 88 howitzers, machine guns, dive bombers and *****. In the end, Avatar, the good wizard, and also blackwolf's twin brother, confronts him and says something to the effect of "mom was a bitch... but she liked me better" then, no magic, the little ***** pulls out a six shooter from his wizard sleeve and blasts the ***** out of blackwolf. The end.
It blew my mind as a kid and I haven't been able to find it since. Sorry for the rant. - Nekogao, on 06/13/2009, -0/+3Umm...wasn't aware they were sci-fi movies...the clue's in the title up there
- fuzzybeard, on 06/13/2009, -0/+3THIS...IS...SPARTA!!!
- Zelmatic, on 06/13/2009, -0/+2aww *****, really?
- Totz83, on 06/13/2009, -0/+2jee willikers!
- macslut, on 06/13/2009, -0/+2Yes, definitely check out some of his other works:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000835/
Specifically:
American Pop (1981)
The Lord of the Rings (1978)
Fritz the Cat (1972)
And not him, but worth checking out if you like his work:
Heavy Metal (1981)
And of course its South Park parody "Major Boobage" s12e3 - Totz83, on 06/13/2009, -6/+850 is far too big of a list for this....devalues the whole point
- SurrealDream, on 06/13/2009, -0/+2http://www.mininova.org/tor/2011453
:) - Battlecry, on 06/13/2009, -0/+2It's available on Netflix, too.
- Balanced, on 06/13/2009, -0/+2The animation in Wizards is definitely trippy 70s Ralph Bakshi. I ate to say it, but that kind of stuff is probably part of the reason american animation seemed to die for a while.

- EatingPie, on 06/13/2009, -0/+1Biggest money maker of 2009 so far. Shocker because Star Trek has never torn it up before monetarily like this one.
Only Transformers and Harry Potter have a chance to beat it.
-Pie - RiperSnifle, on 06/14/2009, -0/+1Good list, but they missed Southland Tales.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE11DKcfieI - falconear, on 06/14/2009, -0/+1Voiceover is a definite sign that a convoluted plot is coming your way. OR that they've adapted a work so big they need the intro so people who haven't read the book aren't just like "Huh, wha?" Dune is a good example of that, and it's also a sign they took a four-hour movie and crammed it into two hours. ;)
Slightly related to this phenomenon is the "explain all the backstory in the opening credits" motiff, which was pulled off fairly effectively in Watchmen and the new Dawn of the Dead. - einexile, on 06/13/2009, -0/+1That old War of the Worlds is pretty great. The sense of everything going to hell is strong and the machines spend much of the movie as an ominous background presence rather than being front and center the whole time. The only time Spielberg's version really does this is during a seconds-long bit of news footage. Spielberg also scarcely blinks at Wells' silly ending, whereas Byron Haskin's version acknowledges the deus ex machina with a religious perspective, and attempts to justify it by implicating mankind in his own destruction through rioting and attacks on scientists and their equipment.
The best filmed adaptation of the story is of course Independence Day. - inactive, on 06/13/2009, -1/+2THANK YOU INTERNET!
- ShiftyBizniss, on 06/14/2009, -0/+1"The future. The polar icecaps have melted, covering the earth in water. Those who survived have adapted to a new world...."
- lukedinan, on 06/13/2009, -0/+1they missed The Guyver intro.
- bat-21, on 06/13/2009, -0/+1I can't digg a list with such a colossal mistake. Virginia Madsen is in the movie Dune, not the miniseries and she's not British. She's from Chicago.
- bshock, on 06/13/2009, -0/+1Sorry, no. Regardless of how much you like the words or the voice, a film voiceover is a nearly infallible indication that the script sucks. Either you had a lousy writer, or the studio decided the audience needed some help, which usually means a few dozen studio hacks have pissed in the creative soup.
- fuzzybeard, on 06/13/2009, -1/+1They missed the V.O. from the beginning of "Armageddon."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfAfQxb1_GQ - hildenborg, on 06/13/2009, -0/+0At first I thought that this would be yet another long list on one single page that would miss some relevant contenders.
But I must say that I liked the way the list was separated into categories, and thanks a lot for including "The road warrior" and "Plan nine from outer space".
I also found a couple of movies I have to watch.
Nice to see a top list this well structured. - hfactor, on 06/13/2009, -1/+1Of course it's innocent, but unfortunately it's also completely silly...
- bikes2work, on 06/13/2009, -0/+0Bladerunner. Classic VO to the rescue.
- Aliwalla, on 06/13/2009, -3/+2dugg down because That War of the Worlds version is a tragedy
- inactive, on 06/13/2009, -5/+3I hate that movie so much.
- funpetal, on 06/13/2009, -2/+0The best news ever for me. Because my favorite movies are always Scifi movies. Great!!!
http://www.teethwhiteninginstructions.com - inactive, on 06/13/2009, -4/+2Seconded about hating.
- jhogan242000, on 06/13/2009, -5/+0What an expansive list with some ***** ass movies. Out of 50 movies to choose from, they left off some pretty obvious major ones, in my opinion. John Larroquette narrating the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Kevin Spacey for American Beauty, and the opening of The Naked City to name just a few.
- syntaxgs, on 06/13/2009, -10/+2they nice but rember people sci fi movies Are Not Real,,, so voice-,over just for drama effects
- Soniti, on 06/13/2009, -9/+1This is not news.
