If it's okay for me to just beg here, what are some films involving alien space? I might be okay with their being a bit lowbrow - perhaps I can't expect every recommendation to be Stalker or Solaris, but then I'm not exactly looking for something of a human philosophical space, anyway: The thing is that I wish to see a world fundamentally unlike our own (or fundamentally unlike what we would see to have made our own, anyway) rendered as vividly - as coherently - as possible. Think cosmic horror, perhaps.

Have you seen Jodorowsky's Dune? It's a very cool recent documentary about a failed (but possibly epic) adaptation of the Frank Herbert novel. You can pick up a few nice recommendations from it too. Alien is pretty obvious but Dark Star is often overlooked.

A great widescreen Technicolor sci-fi with pioneering electronic sound design is Forbidden Planet. You might as well watch the French animated classic Fantastic Planet too.

Silent Running is a hippie space movie directed by acclaimed SFX artist Douglas Trumbull. It's a little dated but still worth a viewing.

Maybe you already know about these, but they're a few basics that came to mind. I'll try to add some less obvious names later.

It's hard to get a more lowbrow view of alien space than Gayniggers from Outer Space, a classic cross-cultural documentary on human relations. Similar in quality is the masterfully-directed Garzey's Wing, notable for its high-quality English dub and deep storyline told through distinctly Japanese cinematography instead of expository dialogue.

Many creators who try to pressure the viewer into emotions with blatant drama and special effects should weep when they see it.

Also, while being /film/ material on the West, it is one of the most watched movies of general public in ex-USSR area.
