I've seen 47 of the films on that list, although there's more than a few that I wouldn't consider sci-fi. My favourite science-fiction films not on there are Gattaca, The Andromeda Strain and Alien 3. It's nice to see some love for The Abyss even if it is so far down the list.

Gattaca, in my opinion is a Masterpiece. And why the HELL is AKIRA so high up? that movie is OVERrated, GHOST IN THE SHELL shuld be in the #4 spot, but it's your list, you can do what you want with it.

These are my faves from the list.
 
I've seen about half of them. Thanks for the list it points out what I really need to catch up on. Believe it or not I haven't seen number 1 on the list. I own the Director's Cut and I have had the original from Netflix for a month, but my girlfriend refuses to let me watch it without her, and I refuse to watch the Director's Cut before the Original version. Good list except for BTTF2(horrid), A.I.(bad), Scanners(very overrated), 28 Days Later(very overrated) Incredible Hulk(mediocre).

You put a film you haven't even seen before in the #1 spot?:wtf:
 
1. Blade Runner
2. SW:ESB
3. ummm...new Star Trek flick? haven't seen it yet (yeah yeah yeah but the normals want to go with me, for a change, but normals don't have much of a sense of overwhelming urgency toawrds a movie likely to be in the theaters for months)

Since #3 is up in the air, that's where I have to stop. :p

I've seen 73 or so of your list. Really gotta get around to The Blob. But overall, I think I'm happy ignoring some of that stuff.
 
Here are some of the major films that aren't on the list (some of these I'd definitely have in a Top 100, others might make the list depending on what the competition looked like in thinking things through):

The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957)
The Last Man on Earth (1964)
The Andromeda Strain (1971)
The Omega Man (1971)
THX 1138 (1971)
Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)
Solyaris (1972)
Soylent Green (1973)
Rollerball (1975)
Dune (1984)
The Last Starfighter (1984)
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984)
Starman (1984)
Brazil (1985)
Enemy Mine (1985)
Contact (1997)
Gattaca (1997)
The Truman Show (1998)
Donnie Darko (2001)
Solaris (2002)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
I, Robot (2004)
Children of Men (2006)
Renaissance (2006)
A Scanner Darkly (2006)

That's a strange comment. It wasn't my list and I said it was #1 on EZ's list? How did you read that and think I was saying it was my personal #1 film?:confused:

BTTF2 was great and so was A.I., Hulk was better then the last one from 2003! "Brazil" is on my fantasy list.
 
But you both missed The Black Hole and Silent Running.(or I'm blind)
Yeah, there are also those two (although I have yet to see The Black Hole and I don't think Silent Running would make my Top 100). Another one that occurs to me is Outland (1981).

That's the name-was driving me crazy! Outland.

I like Silent Running, even if you can drive trucks through the holes in the premise. Remember, back then there wasn't much at all to choose from...
