I've seen a lot of these, but not lately. The two standouts for me were absolutely HATING "Runaway" and being rather impressed with "The Quiet Earth". That one has stuck with me for decades and I've only seen it twice. I'm not sure how well any of these will work in current times, but if I was going to recommend any, "The Quiet Earth" would be first on my list. I agree with the praise for "Enemy Mine" and "Starman". I'd also suggest a double feature of 'Buckaroo Banzai' with the unlisted "The Brother from Another Planet" -- no idea how that one missed the list. Speaking of which, where's "Liquid Sky" and/or "Le Dernier Combat"? Maybe those last two aren't listed because they're too low-budget/art-school.
