I haven't seen Treasure Planet, is it by the same people who made Titan A.E.? 'Cause if so I'll probably have to check that out.

Treasure Planet was Disney, Titan was Dreamworks or something, I think.

It's been a long time, but I do remember Treasure Planet being pretty good. It has pirates, in space! What more could you want out of a movie, I ask you?

Actually, Titan was made by Fox's animation studio, which promptly closed afterwards.

Does Treasure Planet have musical numbers?

And sci-fi shows are the way to go. My preferences are:
Warehouse 13: Off air but season three is in production.
Sanctuary: Season three running. I think it's tonight or sometime this weekend on Sy-Fy.
Stargate Universe: Third series of Stargate, currently on second season. Evening on Tuesdays on Sy-Fy (I'm basing time on pacific time zone).

But if you want sci-fi movies then I recommend Star Wars.

I can't argue with your first two choices but Stargate Universe? Seriously? I'm a LIFELONG Stargate fan and that series turned me off as it had none of the fun and good nature of the original.

It was basically a fictional Surviver-in-Space scenario with characters I couldn't get emotionally invested in. I wish they would of just stopped after Atlantis finished it's run.

As to my own movie suggestions...

Ice Pirates (Space Herpes!)

Howard The Duck (Guaranteed to kill brain cells watching!)

Forbidden Planet is an awesome flick and very well done for it's time with the technological limits they had than.

But for serious Sci-Fi movies, watch all the Star Trek movies.

Edit: Titan A.E. was an awesome flick and if I remember, done by the same people who did The Secret of NIMH years earlier.

So what I just remembered is this totally counts as a sci-fi movie.

I was recently shown Sunshine, which is an attempt at old school sci-fi; there are definitely some questionable things happening (I know nothing about physics and even I know you don't freeze in space), but it's presented well enough that you can almost ignore that it's a movie about firing a giant bomb into the (dying) sun to create a star within the star.

Season 1 could have been better. Season 2 so far has developed a little bit, but I'm starting to connect with Dr. Rush more than the other characters. Oh, and I think part of their problem is their wonky character emphasis. I mean they start the show with Eli and the Young and Rush steal the spotlight.

I'm just hoping that more stuff actually happens instead of building possibilities just to make all shit break loose within a couple episodes.

I watch it now so that I don't have to catch up if it becomes better later on.
