Looking at the list at the end I notice Firestarter didn't do very well, but I really liked this film. It is certainly better than the modern version imo. The point is always that people's views differ I also loved Deadzone.

My understanding was that Stargate has become the most successful sci-fi series ever, still not sure how this is measured but it's an interesting point. It worked so well I think because it was set in the present.
