Top 10 SF movie favourites

nexus9

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?

  • I'm trying to think what I've watched that can be considered actual Sci-Fi. I definitely enjoyed The Martian, loved how all the science in it seemed fairly believable.

    Back to the Future - I don't think there is a more perfect way of explaining time travel simply than these films.

    Someone mentioned Doctor Who (not a film I known) which I also love. I started late with the revival and have watched every series since without fail. My favourite episode is The Waters of Mars, because it's an episode where technically the Doctor fails, and you watch him at his weakest.

    Battlestar Galactica (2000's) was also really good to watch, because there were never really any clear good/bad sides. I suppose now I think about it, TV sci-fi can tell a lot more than a film.
