They got #1 and #2 right. I don't really think A Clockwork Orange belongs on the list and if I were to cave and allow it, it's better then every other film on this list so it's either #1 or not on it, and I while I liked both Moon and District 9 a lot, there are better Sci-Fi films.

I wouldn't necessarily say that. It's definately better than most of the movies in the top 10 though (WTF is The Road Warrior doing that high???).

WALL-E and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind should've been included also.

Great film.

Yes, but only because Kate Winslet is hot

And because it had a great story, and the acting was good (especially Winslet) .

@mai:

I don't think Cleopatra can be considered a genre movie. It's a hystorical epic about Cleopatra. It's terribly stupid to compare it to 300 which is a Action movie set in a hystorical setting.

Oh lol =)

What? I never said Cleopatra is a good movie. But it's definately not a "genre movie" (though I personally don't associate quality with genre).

You don't get it, right? =) Maybe the fact that you completely missed my point has smth to do with my English. Either way I was bored and do not intend to continue this pointless discussion.

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.

If you were referring to the fact that I misspelled "historical", well my bad.

If you were reffering to the fact that I said Cleopatra isn't a genre movie, and then went on to say it's a historical epic, well all movies are part of a genre.   However, to my knowledge, the term "genre movie" is generally use as a pejorative term to reffer to films that are part of genres considered to be "lesser" (Westerns, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror etc.). I've never heard anyone call a hystorical epic a genre movie, precisely because historical epics not considered a "lesser" genre. They're generally conisdered very important movies, because they deal with great historical figures or events.

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.

blade runner was a good film,but it's not the best sci film of all time in my opinion. I like back to the future,Star Wars and the matrix. Those are my personal favorites. I also like the 2nd and 4th terminator film.
