My Top 25 Sci-Fi Movies of All Time - #12
By Ken Parker
I have already mentioned how important
it is to have a great movie viewing experience. An unforgettable
time watching an excellent movie can shape the way you perceive the
film forever. I already mentioned one time I saw a double feature of
The Road Warrior and Blade Runner. That experience,
coupled with the fact that they were excellent movies helped shape
how I see them today. Of course I have fond theater going memories
of Battlefield Earth but that film is on an entirely different
list. A bad list.
The experience and what mood you are in
can also influence the perception. I also stated before that
expectations can alter the final perception, either making the film
seem better or even worse than it really is.
The following film is the only film on
this list that I actually took a day off from school to see. It was
a major event in my movie going history, probably more so than any
other movie on this list. The expectations were sky high and for me
it happened at a time in my life where a lot of changes were going
on. It would be the end of my childhood at around this time
(although I did continue to buy toys until sometime a few weeks
ago.....) but I would never again enjoy the adventures of childhood
as much as I had during this time period.
