Greatest Sci-Fi Movie of All Times - Wild-Card Selction

I haven't seen this movie. Reading the description it sounds like a cool story. I'll definitely file it away on my "need to see it" list.

Metropolis - on the list of 48.

bummer - looks like Prophecy is going down - i think this movie is really good.

LOL. I think Dreamscape is up there because of me. I realize now I meant Brainstorm. Cest la vie.

Also I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but I just watched Starship Troopers and found it sublime and hilarious. I really don't think I "got it" the first time I saw it. Notice how closely Doogie's outfit resembles SS? Seriously, watch it from that perspective.

Black Hole - sentimental childhood thing
Chronicles of Riddick - the hell planet was cool, so were the armored tiger things
Fantastic Voyage - see #1
Fifth Element - would be a classic except for Chris Tucker, who almost makes it unwatchable
Heavy Metal - vague memories of being freaked out aas a kid, cool animation
Lifeforce - gotta give it a nod for the boobs
Mad Max - Mel's so dreamy and babyfaced here - wth happened? I'm better looking than Mel Gibson now.
Robocop - classic
Species - see lifeforce, although when she changed into the postal worker i lost all interest
The Running Man - pretty good movie
Total Recall - see above
Tremors - loved it
Tron - see #1 again

I voted for Dreamscape, among some others. I really like the movie, but I saw it when I was a kid, and it just seemed so cool.

David Patrick Kelly plays the psycho Tommy Ray, and everytime I see him in a movie since I think of that character.

Are Dark City and Gattaca on the list? They must be. Right?

Yeah, I was thinking about Dark City as well, I liked it alot.

BTW, this list is a great idea, as I've been meaning to see most of these movies. FWIW, I only voted for movies I've seen and deserve it, not just all the movies I've seen... hope everyone else follows suit.

In a pool of voters that picks Independence Day you should probably prepare to be annoyed.

Voted for Cacoon, Contact, Soylent Green, Fifth Element, Mimic, Incredible Shrinking Man (Original), Logan's Run, Fantastic Voyage.

BTW, Dune sucked.
