I do love sci-fi games like Mass Effect, and obviously the Star Wars movies are timeless classics. I'd have to say that I prefer fantasy games a lot more than sci-fi ones though. Movies? I'd have to go with sci-fi, mostly because there hasn't actually been all that many good fantasy movies.

Unfortunately, you could say the same about sci-fi movies. We're lacking of those nowadays :(

Yeah, that's true :/ Although every now and then a good sci-fi movie comes along. And I guess there are some really good sci-fi movies from the past like Alien, Star Wars, Star Trek 2-4, Teminator 2 etc. Whereas I think fantasy movies only got good around about the time Lord Of The Rings came out.

There were many good fantasy movies in the 80's, Not counting animation: Indiana Jones series, The princess bride, Willow, Legend, Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Labyrinth, The dark crystal, The neverending story, Ladyhawke, Conan, Flesh+Blood. 

It did get better in the 2000's, LotR stands out, Big fish, The fall, Pan's labyrinth, but what do we have currently? Pure fantasy movies are very rare nowadays. I guess 10 years of Harry Potter has sucked the imagination out of the fantasy movie industry. It's all superhero movies now.

Sci-fi is doing better atm. Many more sci-fi movies to enjoy than fantasy.
