I watched The Last Starfighter last night, which reminded me of War Games, which reminded me of a cool book I read last month called "Ready Player One." I recommend it to geeks everywhere.

Don't know tron was pretty good. But I did like the last star fighter a lot. Anything beats the new shit with the exception of RE they all suck really bad. Can you say street fighter.

Also some favorites of mine - Transformers: The Movie (holy shit when Optimus dies - so sad!), Alien/Aliens (but not Alien 3), Predator/Predators (but not Predator 2), The Terminator/ Terminator 2, Conan the Barbarian (only the original, not Destroyer or the reboot), Blade Runner, Big Trouble in Little China, Army of Darkness (hail to the king, baby)
Hmm, what else... can't forget the Matrix (the first movie really changed the face of special effects and sci-fi movies).
Really, we're actually in a great time to be into sci-fi/fantasy/superhero movies!
Unfortunately the new Thundercats has been cancelled
