-I will reveal 2 film each day. When I get to the Final 50, we will have a brief intermission and I will reveal the one pointers. After I get to the top ten, I will have a prediction game, and will start revealing only one each day.

-Please do not reveal your entire list until the countdown is over (you may however reveal a film on your list once it is announced).

-Huge thanks to everyone who sent in a list (posted here).

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown
 

Looking forward to the list Nope, and the eventual crowning of 2001.

Top ten in no particular order: 2001, Alien, New Hope, Blade Runner, Back To The Future, The Thing, Solaris, Empire Strikes Back, Children Of Men, Jurassic Park.

* That's a prediction ( I didn't submit a list)

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown
 

Anyone have any predictions for 100 and 99?

Two movies I haven't seen. :D

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown
 

The Stats

Looper
https://www.movieforums.com/images/l...fi/oscars6.gif
The first film to crack the list is a fairly recent one. Looper floated around the 100 to 150 spot until it finally rested at #100. The film was tied with one other film that also received 49 points, but it was only featured on 2 lists.

Layout: 3rd, 13th, 16th, 24th, 25th

Dune
https://www.movieforums.com/images/l...fi/on8mEzz.gif
Nothing too special about this one. It was tied with another (#98) film that also had 51 Points and 3 lists, but the other film was placed higher on a list the this one, so Dune lost the tie breaker.

Layout: 4th, 8th, 15th

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown
 

Hey look, my prediction was correct!

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown
 

I've seen both Looper and Dune, but neither were on my list.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown
 

Also, the formatting looks great. :up:

Were one of those lists mine? :laugh:

And to echo what MV said, the formatting looks great. :up:

I remember when Dune came out and what a bust it was. I've never been interested in seeing it.

After a promising start, Looper was just ok for me.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown
 

Just for the future, I probably won't be posting the films until 4:00pm (EST) in future days, but the times may vary.

So there's a movie that got a first place and a second place vote, but didn't make the countdown. That's gotta hurt.

Re: The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown
 

Looper was on my list. I've never seen Dune.

I actually kind of like Dune. It was nowhere near being on my list though haha.

I agree on Looper. I just thought it was fine, and sort of keep forgetting it even exists since it didn't leave much of an impression.

Co-signed. Nice, bold, big black fonts with a nicely balanced photo-layout as well... Simple, clean, clear and full on contrast. I dig it! :up:

Good job on the list so far, Nope, I admire all the work you took on yourself with this one. Looks like you were the right MoFo for the job. ;)

I haven't seen Dune primarily because of its reputation, and while I find interest in Lynch, I'm not a fan (yet) and I need to really dive deeper into his works in general, so maybe this will come along with a binge in the future...

Looper was really interesting, with a great vibe and an interesting story, until they screwed it all up in the end and with the whole boy with powers aspect. I wish they just kept the story about Joseph-Gordon Lewitt, his job and his future self. The eventual big climax had eventually turned its focus completely on what I thought was a sub-story... a shame.

Can't wait for more !!!
