Btw, can anyone recommend *good* sci-fi movies? Preferrably hard science
fiction. "Hard" in this context means physically plausible technology and
physics, which imples, among other things:

- No faster-than-light travel.
- No time travel.
- No far-fetched supernatural phenomena (unknown to modern science).
- Preferably no aliens, but if there are, as plausible ones as possible.
  (The alien in the movie of the same name *counts* as plausible because
it does nothing supernatural or physically implausible.)

  Besides Alien (and Aliens), this one is a perfect example of what I'm
looking for: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448134/

  Space Odyssey 2001 is a good example too, although has elements which
are borderline "non-hard" sci-fi.
