Alien Quadrilogy (9 Disc Complete Box Set) [DVD]Alien Quadrilogy (9 Disc Complete Box Set) [DVD]
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £7.93
This serise HAS to be in anyones list, sci-fi or nay! Although the later films fell completely and unterly short of expectaions, the alien itself is a masterpiece of imagination. Seriously Scary!
Reality Dysfunction (Night's Dawn Trilogy)Reality Dysfunction (Night's Dawn Trilogy) by Peter F Hamilton
Buy new: £6.47 / Used from: £0.01
Peter F. Hamilton is the messia of all science fiction with the Night's Dawn trillogy his crowning achievment. Plausible, compelling, a work of art
Pandora's Star: Part One of the Commonwealth SagaPandora's Star: Part One of the Commonwealth Saga by Peter F Hamilton
Buy new: £6.47 / Used from: £0.01
Although not quite as good as the above trillogy, but still a fine work of art. Space opera at it's second finest!
Sunshine [DVD] [2007]Sunshine [DVD] [2007]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.20
I'll be honest, didn't expect much from this film. But i was wrong. Beautiful cinematography, classic acting and fantastic dialouge. Slow moving though!
Red Dwarf Omnibus: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers AND Better Than LifeRed Dwarf Omnibus: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers AND Better Than Life by Grant Naylor
Buy new: £9.47 / Used from: £0.01
Not particually well written. Not a particually plauible universe. But that's not the point. Viva the boys from the dwarf! Dont let any americans at it again! British classic and as that it shall stay
DuneDune by Frank Herbert
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
Wheels within wheels, plans within plans. One of the most complex sci-fi's i have ever had the pleasure of reading.
Aliens: Steel Egg (Aliens (Dark Horse))Aliens: Steel Egg (Aliens (Dark Horse)) by John Shirley
Buy new: £3.36 / Used from: £2.81
This one is good but it's here to represent all dark horse aliens graphic novels. All wonderfully penned and inked. Great storys spanning all aspects of this gritty, dark and bloody universe!

Nuff said. Your all big boys and girls; you know why it's here; lets move on shall we!
Foundation (The Foundation Series)Foundation (The Foundation Series) by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: £4.42 / Used from: £0.01
This book and the man who wrote it, practically invented the future the way we see it today. The man was a genious!
Deathstalker (Gollancz S.F.)Deathstalker (Gollancz S.F.) by Simon R. Green
Buy used from: £0.01
Cheesy, fun and amusing. The characters and bad guys have fantastic cartoon qualities in the extremes of their behaviour. Entertaining if a little sloppyly written at times.
Firefly - The Complete Series [DVD] [2003]Firefly - The Complete Series [DVD] [2003]
Buy new: £12.48 / Used from: £11.49
Essencially this is the American civil war and cowboys and indians in space! But it's fun because of that mix of imigary. Its also well written with likable charcters.
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy: A Trilogy in Five PartsThe Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy: A Trilogy in Five Parts by Douglas Adams
Buy new: £12.27 / Used from: £10.50
The same as Red dwarf, except so much more surreal! English excentricity, with... actually it's just that, but very funny and a real page turner!
Battlestar Galactica : Complete Seasons 1-3 (16 Disc Box Set) [DVD] [2004]Battlestar Galactica : Complete Seasons 1-3 (16 Disc Box Set) [DVD] [2004]
Buy new: £68.78 / Used from: £28.99
Gripping, Gritty and reasonably faithful to the orginal serise. It really is amazing what you can do with CGI these days. It's nice seeing "real" vipers instead of some dude's toy one!
Futurama: Complete Seasons 1 - 4 [DVD]Futurama: Complete Seasons 1 - 4 [DVD]
Buy used from: £39.99
So funny i don't mind telling you I wet myself! Better than the simpsons (don't kill me it's just my opinion!) A must for any sci-fi geek with a feel for satire, and a lust for comedy.
The Stainless Steel Rat OmnibusThe Stainless Steel Rat Omnibus by Harry Harrison
Buy new: £8.83 / Used from: £7.13
Old skool. 1960's and 1970's sci-fi at its cheesiest best. Great fun.
The AlgebraistThe Algebraist by Iain M. Banks
Buy new: £5.26 / Used from: £0.01
This man can be incredably anal retentive about the actual science behind his imaginations. This book, however, is a rare and enjoyable change. Geart space opera.
The Terminator (Two Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1985]The Terminator (Two Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1985]
Buy used from: £2.75
I can't watch any Arnie films anymore because of his current employment. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy this bumbling fool's wooden performance as a killer robot form the future.

Great, great film. Rubbish book, but a great, great film! 5 disks is a little excessive however.

Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £0.01
The only film that made me laugh as much was airplane (funniest film ever made!). Although unlike airplane, it's not supposed to be funny. Come on guys, it's got The Rock in it, it's gunna be awful!
