Ie, not Alien, LOL.<br /><br />My favorite movie (Until the End of the World) was set in the future at the time. Made in the late 80's/early 90's and set in 1999. So it wasn't a wild and crazy future, but something you could really see... just a bit more modern than we are.CrispyRicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302075204880024936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-12993619632727111122010-01-28T14:47:26.666-05:002010-01-28T14:47:26.666-05:00I like the sci-fi movies from the 50s.

But occasionally, they were also prescient. Oddly, Woody Allen got his idea for the brilliant re-work of a horrible Japanese chop-sockey movie that turned into the hilarious "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" from the American re-working of the Japanese "Godzilla."LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-86142220384829972472010-01-28T14:41:41.093-05:002010-01-28T14:41:41.093-05:00Bev, I am starting to think there never will be su...Bev, I am starting to think there never will be such a question.

A cursory glance at my DVD collection makes me want to say the 23rd/24th centuries but I have a little bit of everything. Most of what I own takes place in the present (regardless of genre) but I don't really have a favorite era per se. I enjoy a good movie that takes place in the future but I won't automatically see a movie just because it takes place in the future.<br /><br />So to answer your question, I don't know. :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
