Movies:
Back to the Future - I love this series, especially the first and the last movies!
Jurassic Park - This was a major part of my childhood growing up. I was surprised by just how much I loved Jurassic World.
The Matrix - I only like the first in the trilogy, but it's one of my all time favorite movies.
Minority Report - I was really hoping to like the new tv series, but it paled in comparison to the movie starring Tom Cruise.
TV Shows:
The Twilight Zone - You can never go wrong with Rod Serling's classic!
The Time Tunnel - I just happened to stumbled on volume one of the complete series on dvd and it's so much fun, and definitely ahead of it's time. Too bad it was only on for one season.
Star Trek: The Next Generation - My favorite of all Star Trek series. Data and Geordi are my favorite characters.
Fringe - I miss this show so much! John Noble gave such a wonderful performance as Walter.
What do you think of my list this week? Do you like any of these shows and movies?
The Minority Report. I was just thinking about that movie the other day for some reason. I should rewatch it.

I really should too! Thanks for sharing, Anne. :)
DeleteAhhh The Twilight Zone is the best but also completely freaks me out sometimes lol even though it's also kind of corny!
ReplyDeleteYeah, but some have aged well. :)
DeleteGreat list! I haven't watched Doctor Who in so long and I miss it. I'll have to rewatch it. Also, you can never go wrong with The Matrix and Back to the Future. And I can't stop staring at that Star Wars gif. It's so nice...
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, Jamie! I hope you can get caught up pretty soon on Doctor Who. Yes, that gif is a good one. :)
DeleteThis list is awesome. Yes to Star Wars (I feel the same about the movies) and Back to the Future (LOVE the first). Jurassic Park too. I've never seen The Time Tunnel! I'll have to go check for that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greg! I'd like to know what you think of The Time Tunnel! :D
DeleteI used to love Back to the Future! I always forget about that movie.
ReplyDeleteIt's just so much fun!
DeleteHi! I'm not a huge sci-fi fan, but I did love Back to the Future. :)

You can't go wrong with it!
DeleteThanks for sharing!
I love Star Wars and yes, the newer ones were not very good. I did enjoy this latest installment though. I miss Walter so much, John Noble was brilliant. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI really need to see more of John Noble on my tv... :)
DeleteI love sci-fi! Jurassic Park and Star Wars are awesome :D I wasn't a big fan of The Matrix (I think I was a bit young to get it when I saw it). And Doctor Who is always fantastic (Ten is my favourite Doctor, too)! Great list.
ReplyDeleteThe only film I really like on this list is minority report ...
ReplyDeleteI should really rewatch it one of these days. :)
DeleteI love Jurassic Park. It's one of those movies I can watch over and over.
ReplyDeleteAnd listen to the soundtrack!
DeleteIf you love Doctor Who, give Class a try! It's just started, and it's a new spin-off written by Patrick Ness :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'll have to start watching!!
DeleteI have a soft spot for Jurassic World too - Lost World and III really weren't very good, and objectively neither is Jurassic World - but... I liked it anyway (even if it does jump the shark). I think part of it is the thrill of seeing the vision of the Park actually open, and part of it was just rampant nostalgia - it captured the atmosphere of the first film in a way the other 2 completely failed to do.
ReplyDeleteI've also got a soft spot for Minority Report. Spielberg. Always hard to fault.
Yeah, nostalgia probably has a good deal to do with it.. :D
DeleteI LOVE the Twilight Zone. Those episodes are classic. Great list!
ReplyDeleteYay!!
DeleteDoctor Who is definitely among my all-time favourite series. I'm also really interested to see where they take this newest season, and I'm so glad that Michelle Gomez' Missy is sticking around - she's got to be one of my favourite Doctor Who villains of all time. :D
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to meet Bill, the new companion! I'm glad Michelle Gomez is sticking around as well - great addition to the cast!
DeleteThese are some amazing picks. I absolutely love Fringe and Doctor Who, they are two of my favourite shows! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! Can't go wrong there!
DeleteGreat List! I feel the same way about Star Wars. Oh, how I miss Fringe.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI know, right.
I love Eps 4-8 of Star Wars, and the other 4 movies you list are super fun too :-) I've seen a few eps of Twilight Zone and one or two of Time Tunnel -- both excellent! And while I love Star Trek: The Original Series more, TNG is such fun too :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're one of the few people I've talked to who have actually seen The Time Tunnel! :D
DeleteWhy isn't it a better-known show? It's quirky, funny -- I really liked "The Revenge of Robin Hood" in particular.
DeleteYou've got me because it really should be!
DeleteYou remembered so many that I forgot! I feel so guilty I forgot about Back To The Future! What is wrong with my memory lol?! And Jurassic Park and The Matrix. I absolutely loved those movies too! Fabulous list Lauren! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen!
DeleteLove Jurassic Park!
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with it!
DeleteI watched an episode of Minority Report and was interested but not enough to care if I kept up with it as it aired. I've since forgotten about it, but should watch the film sometime. (It really was the year of make-a-movie-into-a-TV-show!) Love Doctor Who too, although I'm loving the Matt Smith years. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland, Lauren.
The movie is so good - I hope you'll enjoy it. Matt Smith is pretty darn good, too!
DeleteBack to the Future! Jurassic Park! The Twilight Zone! I love those and I still need to watch more of Doctor Who and Star Trek. I haven't watched much of those. I'm always behind lol.
ReplyDeleteClassics! :)
