As much as I enjoyed "The Terminator", I just can't vote against "The Matrix". Loads of martial arts, guns, violence, the special effects, a really cool storyline, and lots of fetish clothing...what could be better? [:D]

Level, I had to go with Star Wars but it was a difficult decision. Six of the movies you listed are in my Top 25 favorites of all time.

christine1 -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 4:59:54 PM)
i chose the terminator...i love those movies and the whole idea behind them. the alien movies are a close second....and let's not forget about "predator"

lauren0221 -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 5:10:33 PM)
I chose Terminator as well. I love that movie.

Lashra -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 5:57:52 PM)
I LOVE science fiction so it was hard for me to pick, I went with Star Wars but Aliens and Terminator kept calling to me too... ~Lashra

PrizedPosession -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 6:06:59 PM)
The last Matrix ruined it for me i can't watch it anymore after that. But the Star Wars (original) are timeless. -bobcat

beargonewild -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 6:39:11 PM)
A very tough choice as all of them are favorites thought still have to go with Star Wars.

lighthearted -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 6:50:14 PM)
what? no "Dune"? and here I thought you was sumpthin special, Level...sniff and on that vein...what? no "Plan 9 From Outer Space"? [:D]

TheHeretic -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 7:07:55 PM)
I'm most drawn to science fiction that explores the social developments (or regressions). Martial arts and gunfights make it an action flick. I went with Blade Runner in the poll, but I'd also add, Starship Troopers, Bicentennial Man, I Robot, and, without a spaceship to be seen, Children of Men. If only someone could come up with a good treatment of Foundation.

Rocky Horror Picture Show! [8D] Actually, my write-in is for Serenity

quote: ORIGINAL: Level Vote! [X(] Awwww, Level, why the pale exhausted face? Been watching too many Sci Fi DVDs? I voted for Blade Runner. It has everything a good science fiction film should have: beautiful photography, a BRILLIANT screenplay, captivating characters... and Harrison Ford. I can't wait to see the final cut (made by Ridley Scott, not by movie executives). I wonder why, though, most science fiction presents the future of humanity as dystopian. Any thought, anybody? PS: while 2001 is listed as a Sci Fi movie, I never really considered it to be one. It's more an out of body experience than a movie (my mother took me to see it when I was 10, having convinced me it was 'just like Star Wars'. Hmmmm...). But now, having grown a little, I love it.

sweetwenchie -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 8:20:59 PM)
as an ex magenta.. i like petdave's response! [;)] Now how in the hell am i supposed to choose just one? i went with Blade Runner... but that lovely piece of eye candy Keanu almost made me click Matrix. Love the Alien series, but consider that more of a crossover into the Horror genre.

lilsubl -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 8:52:44 PM)
these are all much too recent...what about The Invisible Man, the original from 1933 with Claude Raines? The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, from 1920? those were really scary...& the one i saw in my neighborhood theater when it was first released, the original, The Blob!!!!

Marc2b -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 9:01:05 PM)
... Aliens, with an honorable mention to Logan’s Run. I loved the scenes in the deserted Washington but mostly I loved the idea of a society where you can turn a dial and have a half naked hot chick appear in your living room – you gotta love it! Granted there was a down side to that society (the whole dying when you turn thirty thing).

quote: what? no "Dune"? The people who made that movie deserve to be hung upside-down from their genitals and then beaten with barbed wire. The book on the otherhand is the greatest sci-fi book ever.

The book on the otherhand is the greatest sci-fi book ever. I agree about Dune; the movie was a total waste but the book absolutly rocked. As to the op...it's a toss up between two for me... Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Planet of the Apes ( the original with Charleton Heston , not the remake [:'(] )

KnOcala -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 11:13:02 PM)
I had to vote for Star Wars taking in the effect it had world wide and how cool I though it was back in the 70's

TheHeretic -> RE: Best science fiction movie of all time (1/25/2008 11:25:43 PM)
The Sci-Fi channel did a Dune mini-series which is available on DVD. The fx leave something to be desired, but the indoor sets, costumes and acting are quite good. Worth a rainy Saturday/sick day marathon.
