Sci Fi top ten movies
I voted in wired's top 10 sci fi movie poll: VOTE NOW! Reader's Choice Top 10 Sci-Fi Movies | GeekDad | Wired.com After a tremendous amount of thought and introspection, this is what I picked (in order of awesomeness): 1 - Blade Runner 2 - Alien 3 - The City of Lost Children 4 - Aliens 5 - 2001: A Space Odyssey 6 - Brazil 7 - Terminator 2 8 - District 9 9 - The Matrix 10 - Star Wars Close, but not quite making it into the top 10: 12 Monkeys A Clockwork Orange Children of Men Star Wars Empire Strikes Back Jurassic Park Terminator Dune also up there but not in the top 10 is the Jeff Goldblum version of The Fly, which wasn't in Wired's poll but is way better than many of the things on the poll.

Alien Blade Runner Primer GATTACA The Matrix The Road Warrior (Mad Max 2) A Scanner Darkly Starship Troopers A Clockwork Orange Inception Not necessarily in that order. I haven't seen Looper, which from what I've read seems like it could easily make the list. Last edited by Giraffe : 23-12-2012 at 22:02. |

I don't think it's as easy these days to make totally groundbreaking films such as alien or bladerunner.... I think the same applies to music. Maybe that is stating the obvious, maybe it's completely untrue. I don't know. I'm just a kid. |

In no order: Alien Aliens Blade Runner Predator The Thing Outland Terminator 2 District 9 Flight of the Navigator (nostalgia) There's a sci film I watched when I was really young, probably shit special effects etc but I've been forever trying to find it, it caught my imagination when I was a kid. The story is basically humans fighting aliens in space, in little space crafts and one guy and one of the aliens crash land on a strange planet. They eventually become friends and are trapped on this planet trying to help each other get by. There's weird aliens on it and they make a house out of alien turtle shells or something. Anyone know the film? |

I've watched that many times. The race of aliens was called Drak, right? It ended with the human singing the saga of the Draks on their home planet. It never failed to reduce me to tears! Lovely music too. My video recorder eventually destroyed the tape. And I can't remember the name of the film, either. Tip: Steve is always right. —Bishop
