NUMBER 10
BACK TO THE FUTURE
No introduction or justification needed...It's Doc and Marty..
NUMBER 9
GATTACA
Which proved Sci Fi could not only pull off Film Noir, but also that Sci Fi does not need big special effects or any signs of rampant aliens or robots. This brooding and moody piece has everything and has a timeless edge to it although meant to be set in the near future...
NUMBER 8
INCEPTION
I know, I know, the spinning top n'all, but Nolan (compared to the rather limp Interstellar) did pull out the stops with this one, he didn't care if you the audience 'gets it' which is just how a high concept Sci Fi movie should be...
NUMBER 7
PLANET OF THE APES
No, not Marky Mark's version, this classic from the 60's with THAT scene 'aped' by so many to be an icon in itself. And who can forget the inter species love scene?
NUMBER 6
THE MATRIX
OK, it all got a bit silly in the follow ups, but the original film was ground-breaking in that pre-millenium angst of computers taking over, and computers really opening up special effects in the movie game.
NUMBER 5
ET
Come on, anyone who was alive when this film came out, look me in the eye and tell me that eye wasn't filling with tears when ET died?
NUMBER 4
SILENT RUNNINGS
If you really want to see what the future of space travel will be like, this film captures it, endless black space is essentially boring and plays tricks with your mind. Oh, and if something goes wrong, you're dead.
NUMBER 3
DARK STAR
Like Silent Runings, but slightly darker, the harsh realities of what humans face going into deep space....
NUMBER 2
STARSHIP TROOPERS
A vital lesson in Sci Fi, don't take your film too seriously !!
NUMBER ONE!!!!
THX 1138
Lucas's best film by far and his most bold, looking at this now in 2015, its all so chilling heading this way....Forget a Galaxy long ago, this shit is happening now....
