I love 'Starship Troopers.' I've seen it ten times.

I kind of like '2001.'

When we were all kids, there was one particular trailer that I think we can all remember. That was the trailer for 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.'

I'm probably one of the few people that liked 'Water World' with Kevin Costner.

I went to see 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' and J.J. Abrams, who's a friend of mine, made this film, and I went to see it at the premiere. Believe it or not, I was really blown away by the comic timing of it.

'Aliens' was a brilliant movie, but you still wanted to see the Alien come to Earth.

Panned or not, 'Dune' is a real part of science-fiction filmmaking.

What strikes me as memorable about 'Predator' was a lot of the decisions that were made so quickly turned out to be so iconic.
