Guest mesepher Report post Posted September 22, 2002 I'm not too into the whole SciFi... but out of the Star Wars movies... Emprie is definitely the best, so Empire is my number 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MrRant Report post Posted September 22, 2002 It's not so much a top ten as a what 10 movies would you give to someone that were sci-fi that you liked. Ok so its a top 10 thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest godthedog Report post Posted September 22, 2002 It's listed as such on the digital cable guide, so sure. No one can forget Alphaville and Metropolis in their top ten of Science Fiction movies. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge haven't seen 'alphaville', but since godard did it i already must decry it as boring and overrated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ozymandias Report post Posted September 23, 2002 People who don't know shit about ST will piss on it like they do all things Trek, but real fans of Sci-Fi and film know better. The movie is just really fucking brilliant in the way they pit Khan/Kirk against each other, and the (LONG overdue) character development of Kirk, and Khan's RIGHTEOUS anger that almost makes you side with him, and the amazing dialogue (its been years since I've gone a week without in some way referencing/paraphrasing/quoting the Khan/Kirk dialogue after Khan steals the Genesis), and...everything else. All action directors today should be forced to repeatedly watch the 2 battle scenes between the Enterprise and Khan's stolen ship. I've never seen such a brilliant use of pacing in extended action scenes like that - before or since. From Hell's Heart I Stab At Thee, Cletus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vyce Report post Posted September 23, 2002 I agree with the mention of Dark City. That film is a CLASSIC. How could you list a Star Trek film (even the great #2) above it???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DARRYLXWF Report post Posted September 26, 2002 I would say that 2001 would be far above most sci fi films you've mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pochorenella Report post Posted September 26, 2002 I'm counting the Star Wars Trilogy as one (flame me all you want). The rest is in no particular order: Star Wars Trilogy Aliens Terminator 2 Close Encounters of The Third Kind The Matrix The X-Files: Fight The Future Total Recall Blade Runner Ghost In The Shell (anime counts, right?) Akira I really liked ST2: The Wrath of Khan (specially since I saw it after watching the TV episode with Khan in it), but not enough to place it in my Top Ten.

Guest C.H.U.D. Report post Posted September 27, 2002 Really? I quite enjoyed it, and is one of my favourite films. Why do you think it's overrated? I enjoyed it as well, but so many people have deemed it a "classic" and one of the "best movies of all time". I think there are much better sci-fi flicks out there, 2001 seems a little too pretentious to me. It's a good film, but I don't think it's one of the best films ever, or even one of the best sci-fi films ever. Of course, that's just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
