I think it was a joke. In fact, given the website this forum is for, I'm pretty sure it was a joke. Don't take things so personally.
Godfather is a bit before my time and not science fiction. ET and probably also Close Encounters were already suggested by MY MUM (seriously). The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe? HOLY MOTHER OF GOD NO I WILL STAB YOU. If I seem nasty or annoyed or particularly short with anyone, well I'm tired. I have to run a post office on my own for a day on Thursday and I'm really not looking forward to it. Australia Post sucks, y'all. Just so you know.

On a completely random tack, why not go for one of the many films that is now in the public domain? Quite a few are corny B-movie stuff, I admit, but there are some real gems out there.

Uh, I'd rather not. We're supposed to spoof quality scifi here, not Santa Claus Invades the Martians.
Some of the online actions I've regretted the most came from posting while annoyed or short. My advice? Unplug the computer. Go out and enjoy some time in meatspace/offline/RL whatever you want to call it. Smell some flowers. Personally I like to go hiking in the woods.

What's out there? Santa Claus invades the Martians, or quality scifi?
(Bah-dum-bum-chissh) Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the veal!

...Come to think of it, I bet a sizable proportion of us is familiar with "This Island Earth". And not because we've all seen it in its original format. I certainly haven't.

I suppose "Invades" is pretty good for a random neuron misfire. Come on, I only knew it existed because of MST!
Quality science fiction means that fictional technology is used to amplify the meaning of the plot.

That's a rather narrow definition. I can think of several acknowleged classics just off the top of my head that aren't covered by that.
(Dune, A Clockwork Orange, Stand on Zanzibar, The Shape of Things to Come and The Stars My Destination, in case you're wondering).
