1997 saw the birth of one of my personal absolute favourite sci-fi films, Starship Troopers. Directed by Paul Verhoeven and staring Michael Ironside, Denise Richards, Neil Patrick Harris and Dina Meyer, this film was sci-fi gold. Referencing everything from "Alien" to "Full Metal Jacket" this film does not buck the sci-fi trend of being able to assimilate all other films to aid its own construction. Whilst I admit this is not just limited to this genre it is particularity prevalent in Starship Troopers, and rightly so it strengthens the film.
If you have never seen this film change that just go watch it, a cult DVD release classic and a fantastic film for it. Enjoy the trailer and check out the film if you can.
