>the original Solaris by Andrei Tarkovsky - along with most of his other
films especially Stalker.

they're both soooo slowwwww thooooo especially stalker...i love boris and 
arkady strugatsky's writing, and i don't think these movies even compare, tho 
they're good, nice for a sleepy afternoon...i know it's blasphemous but i 
actually prefer the newer solaris. it has a nice soundtrack too.

>Das Boot - submarines anyone?

yes. submarine movies. techno. even the one about the hunley (tiny hand-cranked 
sub used by confederates in the civil war)=techno. also shark movies. jaws, 
deep blue sea. technooooOOO

>Brazil, La Jetée/12 Monkeys, the Fisher King

i agree with brazil. 12 monekys and fisher king dont seem so techno to me tho

>Escape from New York (kicks Mad Max's butt any time)

the first mad max? no way, no it doesnt! both great movies, both technooo. road 
warrior is techno too.

>The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension! (can't wait for
the sequel... ;-)

yeah, i guess, more like aphex twin taking the piss or something

>Firestarter - the script and acting was pretty bad but the plot is great

good soundtrack too. faltermeyer? i forget. seriously great plot.

and i totally agree about jodorowsky and starship troopers. and 2001 and dark 
city and bladerunner and starwars and gattaca and akira and ghost in the shell 
(even tho it sucks)...and thx1138...and cronenberg..the matrix is goa trance. 
minority report is stupid. impostor was decent. i thought screamers was good -- 
the pk dick short story it's based on is amazing tho -- they totally got the 
ending backwards in the movie. dune yeah. yeah yeah.
and vibrations sounds awesome. a no-handed rave maestro?!
