Starship Troopers (is there better sci-fi war movie?)


Is there a better scifi war movie? Hmmm just about anyone ever made will be better :)
Depends on what you call a "scifi warmovie" though I guess.
That, and some are series, not movies, so do they count? Do pilots of series count?

There are a lot of good stories in scifi that would make great warfilms, if anyone ever wanted to do one. Hammer Slammers comes to mind.

You gotta go for the 'quote machine' movies:

Army of Darkness ("Maybe, just maybe my boys could pull it off. Yeah, and maybe I'm a Chinese jet pilot." "You see this? THIS... is my BOOM STICK!")

The Princess Bride ("You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...")

Aliens ("We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!")

Slapshot ("This young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, I guess that's more than most 21-year-olds can handle. Number six, Ogie Oglethorpe.")

Thank you! I was beginning to worry that Princess Bride wasn't on anyone's list. I find myself using quotes from that movie in every day life.

Yes. You're right about Goodfellas. Whenever I see that in the program guide, I click right on it. Every time. Unless there's football on, of course. Go Black & Gold!
