1277248 2012-05-24 22:57:00 Those lists are always subjective and often put together by humourless geeks, so you very really get comedies in them (although Back to the future is there I see)
Off the top of my head and using that list


Blade Runner
The Empire Strikes Back
Aliens
Star Wars .
Moon (the one with Sam Rockwell)
Serenity
Alien
Earth Girls are Easy (so bad its good, ok you have to be drunk to appreciate it)
Gattaca
Logans Run


i note there are NO

ET or "close encounters" in there which I have never seen? but i would assume would be, same goes for the old movies, Earth stood still, Bodysnatchers etc

1277249 2012-05-24 23:54:00 7. Wall-E
10. Iron Man, Thor, The Avengers

Not sure those 2 are scifi, I would rate original Star wars above those :p
But thats just me

Can we have a list without Forbidden Planet ??

Plan9 From outer Space for the worst 10

But gotta love this comment on the original 'Stuff" list
"Stuff you so dumb. May as well chuck Titanic in there, seeing as we are ignoring genres."

1277250 2012-05-25 00:36:00 Sci-Fi and fantasy gets lumped together all the time which annoys me, technically Sci-Fi is a sub category of Fantasy and not the other way round.
I generally consider super hero movies as just action movies although they also tend to have sci-fi and fantasy elements.

Off the top of my head I would go for;
serenity
Pitch Black
Fifth Element
Alien
Star trek series (can't pick one so they all get 1 spot)
Aliens
Star Wars (all 6 of them, someone has to like the new ones :P)
Bicentennial Man
A.I.
Blade Runner

The more time I think about it the more the list will change, I'm hoping Prometheus finds a spot on it later this year and must confess to enjoying the dumbed down action sci-fi movies like cowboys and aliens and John Carter of Mars quite a lot. Don't be afraid of the dark I quite like also.

Agreed dugi and isnt magic just science unexplained, but then harry potter would be on the list for someone .
