The Best Sci-fi films of all time?

[lone wolf]

Here's a film I forgot (twice now):

Labyrinth- A film with so many apparantly bad things in it (David Bowie playing the Goblin Queen.. sorry.. King, Basil Brush riding around on the Dulux dog, and Jennifer Connoly who at least acts better in this than she did in the Rocketeer and more inane songs than the last Spice Girls album) shouldn't be this entertaining. All this and dance choreography by Gates McFadden.

Liked Enemy Mine, hated Labyrinth.

BEST sci-fi?? well here goes:

1)Buckaroo Banzai: One of the greatest most intelligent movies ever made.

2)Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: The 1963 original with Wlater Pidgeon, I still get jazzed watching it.

3) Wings of Honneamise: The Right Stuff on an alien world, one of the best movies about man's conquest of space ever made. I hope you give it a chance if you have not seen it, and it will prove that not all anime is porn.

4) MST3K the Movie: What can I say, I love it.

5) Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea: Yes the Disney one, sue me.

6) Robocop: The first one, and only the first one.

7) Guyver 2: Dark Hero: Very cool, especially for the low buget, but well done, makes up for part one.

8) GUNHED: Cool cyber SF!

9) Matinee: Not really SF, but the "Mant" film within the film taps into so many of the 50's SF I love, I can't pass it up.

10) Pretty much anything pre 1971, yep Rocketship XM, Angry Red Planet, Forbidden Planet, The Sigma Barrier (Who remembers this one??), I love them all. BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE.
