Greatest Sci-Fi Movies of all time..

[Rare Bird]

No - it now looks very dated.

Andromeda Strain - so-so,

Omega Man - dated and again so-so,

Zardoz - too clever for its own good. Sean Connery looks ridiculous running around in a nappy loincloth, only made up for by Charlotte Rampling and all the other women not wearing bras and working in cool conditions!

Soylent Green - awful, absolutely awful and a complete travesty of the book. (So bad in fact that Ray Bradbury would have nothing to do with the film having read the screenplay based on his book.) Shame to think that the late Edward G. Robinson made his last screen appearance is this abomination of a film.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Blade Runner
The Matrix
Alien
The Terminator

My top 5, not necessarily in that order...

Blade Runner - excellent, excellent, excellent.

The Matrix - some interesting ideas ruined by Keano Reeve's awful acting. Looks good but the special effects quickly pall. Sequel and third part: a complete waste of celluliod.

Alien - one of the best modern sci-fi films ever made.

The Terminator - again a very good film. The sequel was just as good, the third part was awful: predictable and a waste of time.

Yep, they would be close to my list as well, though I think Forbidden Planet and Metropolis should be in there as well. And I thoroughly agree that THX and Solaris deserve a place as well.

It will divide opinion but I think Avatar deserves to be in the list as well (if only for combining Dragonworld and Decision at Doona into one storyline).

Darn it Neil, you've beaten me to it...

Anyone mention "Forbidden Planet?" I can watch this every few years and still rate it highly. I even have a chuckle at the origin of the word "Krell.." (no Andr'e, Cpn Kremen & the Krell came decades afterwards "

Aye, can't fault that list, but I'd add Dark Star. Very funny film.
