Yes, I do a of rewatches, but also look for new (or new to me) stuff.
I just saw on Hulu that they currently have Independence Day (seen that plenty of times. And poor NYC gets walloped once again! [Poor us]). Going to watch again, and I love the the soundtrack!
Just thought of the horror aspect in terms of Wayward Pines which I also just saw is on Hulu. It's got zombie like mutated humans, but the set up, and unfolding plot are really good. Imho.
I love Fringe! It occasionally has a horror aspect in certain physical effects that sometimes happen. But great long arcs, all kinds of twists and turns, humor, really good acting (if you're a John Noble fan he's sooo good, but they all do a fine job).
Person of Interest. Michael Emerson from LOST (Ben). Taraji P Henson. Amy Acker Other very good acting. Yeah, Jim Cavezil, but I think it was before he went totally Christian hawker. They try to fight crime so there's that but who is the prep, and who is the victim.
The science fiction aspect relates to super computers (very interesting) and slowly ratches up in S1, then it starts to take off!
Babylon 5 Great aliens w Major societies. Cool human command cast. It's an Earth Station but the treatment by the creator [who eventually wrote ?90% of 5 seasons] was presented to whichever studio (?Paramount) before Deep Space 9 was conceived (controversy).
Since I mentioned DS9, original Trekker. I enjoy them all - old and newer. My favs over all are Enterprise, Voyager, and Strange New Worlds.
Movie-wise: The Motion Picture, Voyage Home, Undiscovered Country, First Contact, Enterprise.
Love the Jurassic Patk/World Movies! Yes, I had dinos as a kid! The bigger set: Bronto was about 10" long, T-Rex about "6 inches high. All pale light green. And I had tiny about 1 inch ones.
I guess that's about it Yawn it's late. 😄
Please share your favorites! 🙂👍

Quick shout outs to Alien Nation (TV show), V, Interstellar, Contact, and Foribbiden Planet.!
Oh, and being a "Cold War baby" my favorite "Atomic Bomb Monster" movie was The Giant Behemoth.
Funny Interstellar meme.
Visual in a library about 10 stacks deep - you know that bc there's a whole empty shelf in the same place in each stack so you see it going back, and back.
Text went something like "I went to the library, and found myself in Interstellar!"
