Code Geass is a good sci-fi anime if you're into that sort of stuff.

I know you asked for things to watch but you should check out the foundation book series by Isaac Asimov or C.S. Lewis' Ransom Trilogy. Awesome readz.

Total Recall
Yeah just saw it recently, aged much better than most 90s movies, also: crazy awesome soundtrack and endless quote material. Yeah, Jerry Goldsmith was one of the best composers. Also, it'll be hard to watch a selection of movies in this thread without watching a movie that he did the soundtrack for. |

Ulysses 31 is great(awesome spaceship designs) but you can't recomend it without mentioning cities of gold first. |

The remake starring Colin Farrel in the Arnold role comes out next year  Cohaagen, Give dees peopul ayuh, not shitty reboots Code Geass is a good sci-fi anime if you're into that sort of stuff.
Does this have sex, violence, or actual mindfuckery though? If it came out in 2006 and isn't by a name I'm familiar with I usually assume it's the common animu sperg fodder |

@mikamdemus, it's anime but not "desu kawai animu", it hold firmly against the best movie ever made whatever the format (it hold against good literature too, and the soundtrack is top tier), it's just a fucking artistic achievement in every way conceivable.
Also ghost in the shell the TV series is one of the best stuff I ever seen, especially the second season (I mean 1st season is a nice and entertaining, but the second one really top everything). Manga is fun, movie artsy BUT the series is the serious stuff.
Frankly those two piece had render most stuff unwatchable for me, They always come out as a bit lacking or flat.
edit:
If you watch honneamise, i don't know how the English version fare, but hut the uncensored version, it give more nuance and the censorship was completely dumb and unnecessary.

Solaris
The book's a lot better; In fact, Stanislaw Lem is my favorite sci-fi writer. (from, you know, back when I read books) Starship Troopers [...] But WTF happened with the sequel? It's WORSE than what Uve Boll could have made!
Agreed - just downright awful. Mad Max is not science fiction, it's post-apocalypse. |

Agreed - just downright awful. Hollywood principles apply, I guess: the movie was a reasonable success but didn't warrant a bug-budget sequel, so the old truth "if the budget is low make a zombie splatter" struck again. Mad Max is not science fiction, it's post-apocalypse.
Yah, true dat. Gimmy, I've looked up Wings of Honneamise and it looks interesting! Thanks!  Some of my favourite sci-fi animus include RahXephon, Scrapped Princess, Ghost in the Shell (movie, but the series has some good moments), and classics like Neon Genesis Evangelion and Appleseed. Warmly recommanded. Other really good ones are Trinity Blood and Legend of Galactic Heroes. Fission: Code Geass didn't do it for me, a bit too teen and jap-emo style. Moi: Loved Ulysses 31! Good memories there! If you can find it I recommend the French series "Once Upon a Time: Space" (Il Etát Une Fois L'Espace) for a similar animation, some nostalgia and magnificent ship designs |

Hmm, if we're including animes now, then I shall recommend Cowboy Bebop - A space western with good characters and a jazz/blues soundtrack.
The name makes it kind of obvious when you think about it.

(from, you know, back when I read books) You talkin' bout the 2002 Steven Soderbergh movie or the 1972 one by Andrei Tarkovsky? If it's the former then, yeah, agreed. But Tarkovsky's Solaris is a masterpiece. It's very different from the book though. I wouldn't even compare the two, really. I could understand if you were disappointed because you expected a straight adaption of the Lem novel. |
