Capricorn One, of course.

**GEAntonio** · 08-17-2008, 08:10 AM

They have The Day the Earth Stood Still. I bet their parents told them it was a good movie.

I Am Legend isn't better than Omega Man either.

ACK!

**georgshult** · 08-17-2008, 08:22 AM

I thought it was an interesting film, mostly visually though. The plot was pretty mediocre, but it was probably new to a lot of people.

**Info-phone** · 08-17-2008, 08:23 AM

The problem is that most people have an entirely inaccurate definition of 'sci-fi'. (Hence this list.)

SF is defined by a certain kind of story, not by the presence of robots and lasers.

In one sense, ESOTSM was quite SF. In another sense, it wasn't. Hence why I don't strike it.

**Clilmence** · 08-17-2008, 09:02 AM

Blade Runner

Also, the original Vanilla Sky was good. (Not the US remake)

**selayeffethy** · 08-17-2008, 09:10 AM

Ahh, yes.

**dWSOj26H** · 08-17-2008, 09:20 AM

There is something else missing off there too that should be blatantly there, but I just can't place it...

**oplapofffe** · 08-17-2008, 01:56 PM

Wasn't ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND that film about a brilliant socially inept mathematician? I think he was played by Crowe.

**Ikhqgvas** · 08-17-2008, 02:37 PM

Where is Voyage Home? Wrath of KHAAAAAAAAN!? I'm dis-appointed.

Planet of the apes was grand, also... As was Soylent Green. "Soylent green is damn dirty apes!"

Forbidden planet? Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning?

**allvideO** · 08-17-2008, 03:19 PM

Soylent Green, yeah, that's the one I wanted to place!

ACK! Just think about when the 'remake' comes out.

**Rchzygnc** · 08-17-2008, 05:28 PM

Space Herpes!

**bobibnoxx** · 08-17-2008, 07:51 PM

And where's Waterworld on that list?

**emuffette** · 08-17-2008, 07:59 PM

Blade Runner and 2001, definitely.

For your consideration:

Contact
Brazil
A Clockwork Orange
Charly
Men In Black
Galaxy Quest
I, Robot
Enemy Mine
Repo Man
Hellboy
Minority Report
Total Recall
Slaughterhouse Five
12 Monkeys
Cocoon
The Abyss
A Scanner Darkly
Robocop
The Fifth Element
Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

**P1international** · 08-17-2008, 08:25 PM

Not enough earlier films on your list, -Jrabbit.

**Dwemadayday** · 08-18-2008, 02:32 AM

Have you ever seen the movie?

**Styparty** · 08-18-2008, 02:39 AM

The Fifth Element is your #1

**Immerymopay** · 08-18-2008, 02:44 AM

Nah, for Sci-Fi I'd have to rate the original Matrix as my #1. It was the first film that I really thought about the concepts in the film, I was only 11 when I first watched it.
