Event Horizon is interesting....a combination of sci fi and horror

2022-09-20 02:44:33 +0000 UTCGroundbreaking film and still really entertaining.

2022-09-20 02:24:50 +0000 UTCHas anyone mentioned Forbidden Planet (1956)? It was one of the main inspirations for Star Trek and runs 98 minutes.
James H
2022-09-20 02:24:05 +0000 UTCAlso, The Day the Earth Stood Still was Gene Roddenberry’s favorite movie.

2022-09-19 02:23:59 +0000 UTCAlso they were both made at Desilu.

2022-09-18 16:03:07 +0000 UTCAfter watching your last Star Trek reaction if you never did watch It I would say Mission Impossible 1 with Tom Cruise. It’s 104 minutes till end credits. Those two franchises were linked way before JJ Abrams. The original Mission Impossible series was presented with Star Trek by Lucille Ball as her two drama series pitches. Also Leonard Nimoy moved to the cast of Mission Impossible after Star Trek ended.

2022-09-18 04:59:40 +0000 UTCDr. Strangelove 1964 - amazing characters(writing), acting, and direction. If not I'm with Paul C. above - Dark City 1998 - just creepy good - similar to Matrix but before the Matrix.
Ricky Johnson
2022-09-17 18:30:36 +0000 UTCescape from NY 99 minutes

Sherman Lin
2022-09-17 17:28:09 +0000 UTC"The Omega Man" 1971 98 minutes
PFCoffey
2022-09-17 15:15:12 +0000 UTC"Dark City" 1998 100 minutes run time.
PFCoffey
2022-09-17 15:12:08 +0000 UTC"King Kong" 1933 clocks in at 100 minutes exactly.
Rob
2022-09-17 15:05:19 +0000 UTCSpeaking of John Carpenter, how about "Dark Star"? Written by Dan O'Bannon, who went on to do the screenplay for a little movie called "Alien".
Rob
2022-09-17 15:02:13 +0000 UTCThe original 1951 version of "The Thing From Another World" runs 87 minutes. I think you would enjoy seeing how it compares to John Carpenter's remake.
Rob
2022-09-17 15:00:34 +0000 UTCIf they do Buck Rogers, I think it ought to be as the whole series (or at least season one, before they lost their writers).

2022-09-17 13:09:55 +0000 UTCRun Lola Run (1998): 80 minutes - in German with subtitles
Dion James Pitman
2022-09-17 06:55:18 +0000 UTCYup. I think these guys would like the delivery of the dialogue.
Michael Nemo
2022-09-17 05:45:48 +0000 UTCI love Rope! Those great long takes and one set. It's like watching a great stage play. Hitchcock is brilliant.
Gary Leyh
2022-09-17 05:40:35 +0000 UTCCrawl from 2019. 87 minutes. Surprisingly good for a low budget creature feature.
Gary Leyh
2022-09-17 05:36:40 +0000 UTCThe Last Starfighter (1984) is exactly 100 minutes.

Andreas Schmitt
2022-09-17 03:49:41 +0000 UTCI was going to suggest switching it up with a comedy, but my choice was The In-Laws (1979) and it clocks in at 103 minutes, although I bet at least 5 minutes of that is credits. I also like the Airplane and Princess Bride suggestions. Airplane II has William Shatner in it, but it's not as good as the first Airplane movie. Dr Strangelove is a classic - don't know if black&white is a turnoff for you or not, but it was made in 1964.
Collin Freeman
2022-09-17 01:33:56 +0000 UTCLooking at the list of suggested films by my colleagues above, I agree with: **Doctor Strangelove **Monty Python & the Holy Grail **The Princess Bride **Airplane **The Day the Earth Stood Still . I would also ADD: **Predestination (2014) (93 min) (a great time-travel film with Ethan Hawke, based on Robert Heinlein's most famous short story, "All You Zombies --".) **Fantastic Planet (1973) (71 minutes) (a weird French animated science-fiction film, also available dubbed in English) **Gandahar (also called "Light Years" in English) (1987) (79 minutes) (Another French animated science-fiction film, with a great voice cast in its English translation) **Zardoz (1974) (102 minutes, so maybe too long for you), a post-apocalyptic, trippy film involving immortality, artificial intelligence, and nearly everything else. Stars Sean Connery and Charlotte Rampling) **Fantastic Voyage (1966) (100 minutes) adaptation of Isaac Asimov's short science-fiction novel of the same name. Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Donald Pleasance) **Conspiracy (2001)(96 minutes) (NOT science fiction; dramatization of an actual historical event, the notorious Wannsee Conference of 1942. Kenneth Branagh, Stanley Tucci, Colin Firth, Ian McNeice, and an almost-too-quick-to-catch moment with a very young Tom Hiddleston) **The Producers (1967)(88 minutes) (ALSO not science fiction; Mel Brooks's absurdist comedy involving Nazis, Broadway, and fraud, starring Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, and Kenneth Mars). . ...I can think of a whole bunch of wonderful, mind-blowing films that are 5 or 10 or 15 minutes too long for your purposes...
Ken Schneyer
2022-09-17 00:12:22 +0000 UTCIf you want to do more sci-fi I think you would like The Final Countdown it’s 102 but some of that is credits.
Jonathan
2022-09-17 00:08:24 +0000 UTCSTARCRASH (1979 92 min.) is the most ridiculous Star Wars rip-off ever, IMO. Laugh out loud special effects, dialogue, acting and story. Light years from from works like Star Wars, Alien and Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Have some beers and tear this movie apart. You’ll have a good time.
BURKE Wells
2022-09-16 23:49:04 +0000 UTCThe War of the Worlds (1953) - 85 minutes

2022-09-16 23:42:11 +0000 UTCI don't sense a theme, so these will be all over the place. I'm just going off of some of my nostalgic movies and doing a quick Google search to check run times... A lot of these are older, as that was more common to be closer to 100 minutes Invasion of the Body Snatchers - 1956 - 80 minutes The Hobbit - 1978 Rankin Bass Animation - 78 minutes Return of the King - 1980 Rankin Bass Animation - 98 minutes (recommending those two, because everyone and their cousin has done the live action, and these were the OG) Dark Crystal - 1982 - 93 minutes - the practical effects are just awesome for its time The Last Starfighter - 1984 - 101 minutes Flight of the Navigator - 1986 - 90 minutes Twelve Angry Men - 1957 - 99 minutes - I think you'd like to analyze this one. And I'd also like to cast votes for some of the above suggestions - Planet of the Apes Day the Earth Stood Still Princess Bride Monty Python Truman Show And I love these movies, but they are over 100 minutes Silverado Magnificent Seven Untouchables Rear Window Superman and Superman II Will come back and add stuff as I remember more
Firekrys FWO
2022-09-16 23:29:57 +0000 UTCYes! I vote for this too!
Firekrys FWO
2022-09-16 23:29:04 +0000 UTCBad Santa, a great Christmas-themed comedy. Clock in at 91 minutes (theatrical) or 99 (extended).
MaskOfBorro
2022-09-16 23:18:09 +0000 UTCI support Westworld, great movie (the series is even better though) and Dr. Strangelove (a classic)
MaskOfBorro
2022-09-16 23:16:49 +0000 UTCI would love to have added "The Truman Show", but it's 3 minutes too long.
David Felgate
2022-09-16 23:14:18 +0000 UTCComedies and animated films are often under 100 mins. Just about any animated film would qualify (Disney, Pixar, etc.)

2022-09-16 23:12:54 +0000 UTCMonty Python and the Holy Grail - 93 mins The Princess Bride - 98 mins Tangled - 100 mins Airplane! - 88 mins The Fly (1996) - 96 mins Raising Arizona - 94 mins

deconstructionist66
2022-09-16 22:43:51 +0000 UTCAccording to IMDb, the Day the Earth stood still 1951 clocks out at 92 minutes. This movie would be a great choice because it’s one of the best movies ever made, IMO. The alien character,Klaatu, Was acknowledged as one of the main influences for the Mr. Spock character in Star Trek. It’s a perfect film, heavy on character dialogue and story, and not on aliens and explosions in special effects. Light years ahead of its day.
Rich Cirivilleri
2022-09-16 22:22:01 +0000 UTCCat-Women Of The Moon (1953). Budget sci-fi that is like proto-Star Trek and also hilarious. So bad it’s great. Just watch the trailer - https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0045609/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

2022-09-16 22:06:03 +0000 UTCOoooo, Aniara...106 minutes. Unique and mind blowing. Substitute my vote with this one :)
Ian C Johnson
2022-09-16 22:01:33 +0000 UTCWell crap, I vote Enemy Mine but the runtime is 110 minutes
Ian C Johnson
2022-09-16 21:44:42 +0000 UTCI highly recommend Children of Men from 2006, which clocks in at 109 minutes, if you're willing to fudge. It's so good. Also want to submit Soylent Green, 1973, for your consideration, which runs at 97 minutes according to IMDB.
