Best Sci-Fi Movies

[Ace Rimmer]

Yeah, you definitely have to watch Moon if you like scifi at all. It's an excellent movie, very well-paced. I watched it once already, going to watch it again hopefully this weekend. I agree, the models made it look very nice instead of too over the top with CGI, it really sucked you into the story.

I agree. The story was very well put together. One of those movies you would say I'll give it 15 minutes then you can't break away.

Forbidden Planet......absolute classic

U-571...oh no sorry, that was a fantasy

Rollerball.........'75 not '02

V for Vendetta...does that count?

Westworld.....a sci-fi western, what more could you want

V for vandetta, not really. kinda sorta, but not enough. I think it has it's own category

Another unmentioned movie that would be on my list: Andromeda

How's Back To The Future not winning? More importantly, how is it not at least beating Blade Runner? Perhaps it is the sci-fi element of the question. Because as a whole, it has my vote for sure.

I also vote for Star Wars (Old School) for being classic and cutting edge (Not that I want to watch them anymore). I also voted for the Matrix's cutting edge effects and idea, but you'd have to force me to watch those as well.

How is Transformers not nominated?

1. Pandorum
2. The Matrix
3. Star Trek (The newest film.)

I have said before an another page. If someone wants to make a modern sci-poll for every movie that comes out every 5 minutes and people like the "special effects" by all means, you may create a new poll. However, if you have not noticed, most of the options in this poll have achieved blockbuster status and longevity. Transformers opening was sweet, but to me it was all special effects. Its too standard a movie for my tastes.

Awesome Ending of Dune

[jonesthecurl]

A dreadful lapse in just about everybody's memory has just occurred to me:

What about the wonderful, tongue-in-cheek but still thrilling Flash Gordon?

[Phatscotty]

Saxitoxin, I assumed your allusions to Dune would have been here somwhere

I'm not at all surprised that many people on an internet forum, with the attention span of a kid with ADD, think 2001 is boring.

I saw it a while back (after having voted in the poll) and I know what you mean. Luckily I'm not a kid with ADD and can say that it is great, a lot of introduction and an ending that makes you go "WHOA!". And then you want to watch it again to get all the things you missed the first time.

I'm not sure if it qualifies as "the best Sci-Fi movie", but it's definitely somewhere up at the top.

Anyone going to make a second generation, or B class Sci-fi poll?

Awesome Ending of Dune

[Nobunaga]

... I wonder how Sting recalls that part he played in Dune, the sick, twisted son of the sore - covered slobbering ruler of... ruler of... it slipped my mind.

... He probably enjoyed it. Singers tend be better actors than actors do singers.

[Phatscotty]

Holy Shit! Is Matrix going to pass Star Wars?

[jonesthecurl]

IMHO Ernie from Sesame Street singing "I Don't want to live on the Moon" is better SF than Star Wars.

[Phatscotty]

Nobody gonna make a "B" sci-fi poll?

[Army of GOD]

This sure is a shitty Sci-Fi B-movie

There was a TV satire once that had a section on "Teenage Ninja Mutant Turds", mutated by radioactive chemicals dumped in the sewer. Can't remember what it was though.
