    Tremors! That was fun. (sequels sucked) Max Max 2001 and the rest of the books Mars Attacks <ack ack> Dune - the movie. I couldn't get thru the book Steven King - his short stories are better than his mega books that end up as diareha of the pen. Peter Straub - Swan Song

    Books - Has to be Julian May's Saga of the Exiles and Milieu Trilogy.

    Films - apart from the more obvious ones how about Silent Running, Westworld, Dark City or The Quiet Earth.

    TV - Has to be Dr Who, X-Files. And what about Space 1999 where everyone went around wearing ridiculously flared trousers.
