2) Forbidden Planet
3) The Thing (original)
4) Silent Running
5a) War of the Worlds (original)

Showing my age. Kudos to John Carpenter on good remakes of - The Thing & Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Honorable mentions -
This Planet Earth, 5 Million Miles to Earth (aka Quatermass & the Pit), and last but not least... Them !

Thanks for the thread, many already mentioned are would be on extended list, all but impossible to pick just 5.

I thought the director's cut of Blade Runner was terrible. The theatrical cut was much better for me.

2001 A Space Odyssey
Star Wars(ep4)
Blade Runner
A Clockwork Orange
A Boy and His Dog

It is very hard for me to not put Star Trek The Wrath Of Con in place of A Boy and His Dog.

BobC · « **Reply #30 on:** 9 Mar 2010, 07:44 pm »

Yeah, maybe should have included Matrix and Body Snachers in my list.

Contact with Jodie Foster was very cool

When all the old downtown theaters were going broke and getting seedy, I saw the opening of 2001: A Space Odessey on a huge wide screen- complete with organist at intermission. It was absolutely the most incredible thing I have ever seen on film, with Avatar a close second. The ranking of many of these has much to do with how and where you see them.

1. 2001: A Space Odessey
2. Avatar
3. A Clockwork Orange
4. Blade Runner
5. Alien

So many I didn't think of, and I thought I was a scifi guy.
Forbidden Planet, Is Hellboy scifi? or para-fi?...

dhwilkin · « **Reply #36 on:** 9 Mar 2010, 09:25 pm »

I am shocked and appalled that The Ice Pirates is not in any of these lists!

Alright, seriously, here's my list:
1) Star Wars IV: A New Hope
2) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
3) Predator
4) Terminator 2
5) Back to the Future

Honorable mentions: Aliens, A Clockwork Orange, and Pitch Black.

I also recognize 2001 probably deserves to be on a more objective top 5 list, but I'm assuming we're talking about personal top 5s here.

Personal favs is what I was after. Anyone want to rethink??
