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.

Status: offline 		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.

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).

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.

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  )
