Greatest 'Trapped on a spaceship' movies of all time
By an Amazon.com customer
Alien (The Director's Cut)Alien (The Director's Cut)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $3.40
The one that started it all, and still the best. Ominous dread, carnage, special effects, and Harry Dean Stanton.
Aliens (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)Aliens (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $4.50
Not quite trapped on a spaceship, but close enough. The loader fight scene is worth the price of admission.
Sunshine [Blu-ray]Sunshine [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $18.49 / Used from: $11.82
This is my personal favorite of the genre. Brooding, thoughtful, and incredibly tense.
The Thing (Collector's Edition)The Thing (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.65
Again, not exactly a spaceship, but claustrophobic and trapped enough to count. And, let's face it, this is one of the greatest sci-fi horror movies of all time.
SupernovaSupernova
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $0.58
For future reference, THIS is why you don't pick up hitchhikers...in space.
Jason X (New Line Platinum Series)Jason X (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $1.69
Who ever said you can't laugh in space? Proving that comedy and slaughter DO, in fact, go hand in hand, this movie is utterly enjoyable.
Event Horizon (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)Event Horizon (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $3.73
Creepy, creepy, creepy
Pitch Black  [Blu-ray]Pitch Black [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $12.14
Cheesy and ludicris, but entertaining none-the-less
Doom (Unrated Widescreen Edition)Doom (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $4.99 / Used from: $0.01
Some people's trash is other people's treasure. It's dark, they're trapped, there's monsters...really, what more can you want?
Alien ResurrectionAlien Resurrection
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.97
Formulaic enough to make the list, the oddly adorable human alien makes all the sins of this movie forgivable. Hey, at least I'm not adding number 3 to the list, right?
