Theseare the plants - movies that I liked, or movies with parts in it I liked.
Star Wars Episode I. Well, parts of it. The fight scene at the end. Jar Jar Binks should've been burned on the pyre next to Qui-Gon Jinn, though.
Starship Troopers 1. Except for the overtly Nazi uniforms the officers wore, and Denise Richards whose smile just sets my teeth on edge. Oh, and the FGMP-15 demonstration in the advert right at the end when the trooper blows off the top of a mountain. Loved it. More FGMP-15s, please.
Lawnmower Man 1. Parts. Laughing out loud at that line of "we haven't mastered the Latin alphabet." This IS the Latin Alphabet!
Hulk. Well, parts. A lot of it was too self-consciously comicy for words, but the desert scenes were spot on.
The Shadow. A lot of interesting ideas for my Mage Chronicle came from this movie.
Thunderbirds. Liked the vehicles, thought the Spy Kids plot sucked.
Judge Dredd. I loved the conception of Mega City One. I loathed Stallone as Dredd. I mean, removing his helmet? Allowing Hershey to kiss him? And a clone of Rico who didn't look like Dredd?
Cube. Nicole deBoer as the maths genius was a very nice touch, as was the ending.
The Facility. Whoops, major cockup. It should be "The Faculty."
Mars Attacks. The start of it - the "beef on the hoof" scene. Made me laugh. So did the scene with the Washington Monument and the scouts. The rest, made me feel like someone had tipped an ashtray onto my lap, right into the popcorn bucket.
Lifeforce. Unashamedly due to the scene where Mathilda Mays walks through a lobby without a stitch on. But Patrick Stewart was also in it, and he was awesome. The rest had a very Quatermass feel, but I preferred the Colin Wilson novel, mostly because those space vampires in his novel were the Lovecraftian Ubbo-Sathla, no less.
Star Trek V: Beyond All Credulity. I loved the attention to detail on the Klingon dialogue. It set that whole 1990s Klingon language thing going, so it did. The plot of the rest of it was, well, bad fan fiction.
Independence Day. Just the start of it, when the aliens just nuked NYC, Washington and LA. That was so intense.A shame the rest of it went so Dubya.

That's it, at least as far as the plants go. :)
