I, too, enjoyed the gawdawful trash that was the Battlefield Earth movie. Yeah, it's dumb, but if I only watched good sci-fi, that would be, like 50 movies total.
Maybe.
I'm pretty sure that one of my favorites, Event Horizon, would not make the list of good sci-fi.
Oo I love Event Horizon. It's a bit of a scifi horror cult classic though isn't it? Not exactly Blade Runner, but not Battlefield Earth either.
One of my favorite trashy scifi movies is maybe Saturn 3 (Zardoz doesn't count!). It's a godawful piece of shit featuring Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett, and a baby faced Harvey Keitel. It's astonishingly bad and great fun to watch, and there was some sort of fairly hilarious story behind how it got made too (I'll have to see if I can dig up the blog post I read about it)
