Mine must be the 60's party in the space station. Everybody dancing, nice costumes lol it's so out of place...

I LOVE ANGELINA JOLIE AND VERONIQUE CRAVEN (www.vero.tk)!!

I love the way the title oozes onto the screen during the credits. I enjoy the editing of the scene where the asteroid Flora is blown up; those quick cuts and zoom-outs between the rapidly flipping timer and the asteroid exploding. The scenes of the astronauts "flying" (very obviously on wires) outside the space station blasting the green slime monsters are also hilarious!

Has to be the "party scene!" Pay close attention to the background for the "I Dream of Jeannie" dance moves. Hilarious!

Also, any scene with Luciana Paluzzi... and that hot, hot, hot Linda Miller (who was also in the Japanese classic "King Kong Escapes" from 1967).

The astronaut flying between the two creatures was pretty cool, even if I WAS 6 when I saw this movie!

The only person to ever celebrate Valentines Day correctly was Al Capone!

My wife and I just watched this night on Xfinity OnDemand. The scene that had us both laughing until we cried was when the guy tried to talk on the phone with his helmet on...he had to hold the earpience up to his eye! I thought my wife was gonna fall out of her recliner!

How about when Robert Horton inexplicably led the critters straight into sick-bay which was still full of patients (vs. evacuated, wasn't that the plan?) -- then heroically turned around and led them straight out again...

Or when the critters littered the outer hull of the ship, hanging on via some unexplained force, while astronauts were jet-packing around the ship, shooting at the critters (although shooting the critters had repeatedly failed as an effective strategy)? My spouse was screaming at the space station pilot to make a "spinning u-turn" and just sweep them off...

But my very favorite was the heroic finale, the hero's sacrificial effort to seize control of and destroy the CONTAMINATED space station, to keep these microbes from ever reaching the earth, resulting in the flaming space station heading straight for the earth, falling through the earth's atmosphere (which seemed to extinguish the flames?) and down to the earth's surface, complete with cartoon-like "splat-puff of smoke".

I loved this movie!
