12 Underrated 80's Sci-fi Movies That Are Absolute Gems And Deserve Your Time - Explored

[@robertcampbell6349]

The Last Starfighter is a fun, feel-good movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@dublev78]

I saw it in the theater with my pops when I was a kid. It was so awesome.

[@slactweak]

Yep. I saw it after it came out on VHS. I still have a copy, (Digital), even now.

[@Br1cht]

Yeah, really loved that movie.

[@jameswysocki6806]

Most of these movies are great and were large parts of my childhood... I would suggest Metalstorm: the Destruction of Jared-Syn as an underrated sci-fi western and Explorers, featuring Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix, a coming of age movie that I still think about today. Explorers was directed by the infamous Joe Dante. 80's sci-fi was just such a spectacular time!

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Agree! It has a terrific look and feel to it. It's also really well shot. The action sequences are very gripping. Peter Hyams had a background in directing a lot of action films from that time, and he really knew what he was doing in this regard.

[@georgehenderson7783]

And the woman doctor!

[@richardmohr9218]

Outland is not High Noon 1952 in space. The similarities in the narrative are there but none of the plot points. Someone made this comparison way back in the 90's and since then everyone who can't be bothered with any other original description uses it. Outland (totally unofficially) belongs in the Alien franchise and somewhere like ConAm 27 could be exactly the kind of place the Nostromo was returning from. It is almost completely unique insofar as it has no AI, robots, aliens or miraculous cosmic phenomenon and is actually the story of corporate greed gone too far and two individuals, with no reason other than their moral code, who decide to face the evil down with no promise of reward. Absolutely recommended

[@rosshight7704]

Another movie that I think is stealthily in-canon with Alien is 2010. Look at those scenes of them sitting around the table in 2010 and try and tell me the people who built that ship didn't build the Nostromo galley!

[@richardmohr9218]

@@rosshight7704 Sure, I'll try to tell you. The Nostromo mess room and the Leanov meeting room both resemble each other because both were modelled on the interiors of contempary nautical vessels. No corporation is in 2010 and 2010 is describing an exploratory mission to the Jovian system. while Con Amalgamate 27 is an established mine set in the same system. But mostly it is not in canon with Alien as Alien is set in the (unspecified) far future and 2010 is set in 2010.

All found in 'any dumb western' apparently. I imagine that there would be some similarities between a 1850's mining town to one found in the future. That is human nature, and expected.

Enemy Mine & Innerspace 👌

[@lurkerrekrul]

The Last Starfighter - Atari was planning to make actual Starfighter arcade games, but then they realized that they would cost way too much to produce with the "advanced" graphics seen in the film. Today, you can play Starfighter on pretty much any Windows computer made in the last 15 years, via a freeware version by the group Rogue Synapse.

The ATARI ST game STAR RAIDERS 2 was originally supposed to be The Last Starfighter game . Somehow , the deal was dropped so ATARI just renamed it .

I have seen almost all of these, you put together a great selection. "The Last Starfighter" is probably my favorite on the list. "Innerspace" was one of the earliest VHS tapes I bought when new it was just so much fun. I was always a big fan of "Enemy Mine", it was at its heart an anti-war film. Outland was another film that most did not get, I enjoyed it because it was the Wild West in Space! Thanks For The Video!

Starman is one of my favourite 80s films and one of Carpenters best efforts. Jeff bridges was rightfully nominated for an Oscar for best actor for his performance. Altered States was another great film that flew a little under the radar. An interesting story with a great cast, special effects and some typical Ken Russell weirdness mixed in.

Starfighter picks up an historic first. The first use of CGI in a movie, I also loved Robert Preston's Alien. you missed 1983's. Brainstorm. by Douglas Trumbull. Natalie Wood's last movie. 1984 also gave us Dreamscape. Fun to jump into others dreams. Dennis Quaid in this one.

[@fuzzylogicent]

Another neat piece of trivia...the next use of CGI was the following year for 'Young Sherlock Holmes'. Done by a little company called Pixar.

[@michaelmcfarland1716]

Would have to point to WESTWORLD (1973(?)) as the first to use CGI. The view of the world through the gunslingers eyes was computer generated. Then, Disney's THE BLACK HOLE had quite a few scenes that had CGI interacting with the actors.

Enemy Mine was a really great film that badly disserves a re-make. The movie was based on a novella published in 1979, but the novella and movie have quite a bit in common with the the 1968 movie Hell in the Pacific which tells the fictional WWII combatants played by Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune who are marooned on a disserted Island and must cooperate to survive. Both Enemy Mine and Hell in the Pacific are well worth watching.

[@aquaticborealis4877]

I visited the Meter Creator because of this movie!

[@dcjr1053]

Cherry 2000 was another fun one from this era.

Thank you for including Death Watch on your list, it really is a cinematic gem. Death Watch is a film that is as magical as it is disturbing, in many ways. Romy Schneider was already suffering from alcoholism herself at the time, but her acting is impressive and on point. The acting between her and Harvey Keitel almost makes you forget that it is a film, everything seems so disturbingly real. I saw the film again just a few months ago, and I was almost more shocked than I was when I first saw it in the 80s. Not because the film provided some strange premonition of Romy Schneider's death a year after the film. It works better today and for our time than it did in the 80s, when the subject seemed very abstract. But the destruction of privacy by media is an experience we live through today. Although it is an adaptation of a science fiction novel, it was more of an anti-futurist approach. Glasgow as a desolate setting, blurry, washed-out colors, as if the film had been deliberately sabotaged technically. But Tavernier was more interested in the characters and not in the technology. And that's a good thing, because it allows you to see the great performance of the actors. Definitely not for people who celebrate science fiction as a technological orgy with gigantomanic futures made of steel.
