    I know I went for this too but on reflection The Running Man isn't a sci-fi movie. It's more a dystopian/action movie - doesnt really have many (if any) science fiction themes.

    Actually watched a bit of Aliens yesterday, have seen it plenty of times already obviously but had to laugh at the synopsis. This world is full of absolute gimps man.

    Fair play, incredible but I'm pretty sure no one had mentioned Moon so far.
