And Where's "The Adventures of Pluto Nash"?

For those of you who've always wondered, "Hey, what're Casper van Dien's five favorite science fiction movies?" comes the answer via Rotten Tomatoes. Johnny Rico is fond of:

-The Wrath of Khan
-Aliens
-The Matrix
-Terminator 2
-Star Wars: A New Hope

Y'know, I was ready to mock his picks, but they're actually pretty reasonable. I can't quibble with any of them, and not just because I hate the word quibble. I notice he's very into the "Blowin' stuff up with lasers" genre of sci-fi, rather than "Blowin' your mind" movies like 2001 and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Van Dien himself, of course, is involved in the third category of sci-fi films: "Just plain blows." Battlefield Earth, anyone?
