Top 10 SF movie favourites

Hey.

What are your favourite SF movies ever?

Here are mine, in no particular order:

Moon. Directed by Duncan Jones, David Bowie's son

Blade Runner. The first one, that is, though I enjoyed the 2049 too. 

Brooding, noir. The book if anything is even better.

Logan' Run  Yes I know, an oldie. But it sticks in the mind. Time is short.

.........and never more so than with Never Let me Go. An idyllic boarding school is where the spare-part clones grow up 

Space Odyssey 2001. Yes I know computers evelved way beyond this stage

The Time Machine. Very innovative shooting for the, erm,  time. 

Alien. Despite all the prequels and sequels, this is still the absolute best

Quatermass and the Pit. Good and spooky.

Solaris The second one. How not to make first contact.

Ex Machina. Here, the CEO who plays Feletto really an absolute jerk, all said and done.

Agree or not? What are your favourites?

  • The Star Trek one with the whales is duty a great reminder that it is not necessarily all about us. As in we humans. Dolphins certainly have bigger brains than we do....

  • I have Alien and Aliens on DVD. Look forward to watching them one day soon. Because it's so famous I feel as though I've seen Alien already though.

    I thought Logan's Run was great fun especially the part where they met the old man and his cats.

    Oh, and that Star Trek film with the whales was a hoot too.

  • Aliens is good all right. I liked the original  Alien for the Giger effects, that helped make it so claustrophobic and gothic (I saw an Giger exhibition a few years ago. Sublime and stomach turning in equal measures. He designed the alien).

    I never found a copy of Aliens, though I did find Alien 3 in a charity shop once. For some reason it was more upsetting to imagine one of those critters hurting and killing a dog than it was bursting out of a human chest. By the time Ripley becomes a cloned hybrid of alien and her own good stuff it was starting to get a bit silly I think. I do have Prometheus.
