The list seems alright, not a huge amoun stand out as being definately undeserving. I might have gone for some more contemparary titles like Minority Report, Artificial Intelligence and i-Robot but it depends on the metric the author used. Don't take too much from my opinion though as I quite liked the Cube movies.

Anyone who has actually read the brilliance that is I, Robot would never nominate that travesty of a film for anything, ever.

I've never read a book that was surpassed by a film conversion, ever. Film can never paint the images we do in our imagination. You're entitled to think the film is garbage if you like though, personally I thought it was quite an intelligent film that asked a lot of interesting questions.
I'm all for respecting the great sci fi authors of the past but fans of books need to realise that in modern soceity many younger individuals aren't interoduced to books like they were in the past. If I-Robot encouraged 0.1% of people who watched the movie to pickup the book then that alone is a huge plus for it imo.
Finally I would highlight I stated my list, not yours or any particular critics list. I could name 10 movies I consider absolute pap that the critics love.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy?
The movies are loads better than the books

Um, no. The movies are fantastic but the books are even better.
