The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown
https://www.movieforums.com/images/l...fi/JIVoFGB.jpg
It's finally time. Science Fiction is probably the most expansive and unique film genres ever, and I had a blast going through and counting all of the unique lists that were sent in. The final list has a large array of movies from dozens of different sub-genres. Comedy, horror, action, drama, romance, thriller, fantasy, mystery, adventure, and crime are just some of the things that can all be accessed through Sci-Fi. Before we get to the actual list, let's start off with some details. 64 Lists were submitted 360 Total films were entered 18 Ties were broken -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). https://www.movieforums.com/images/l...cifi/giphy.gif We're about to see some serious sh*t |

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?

100 Looper (2012, Rian Johnson) https://www.movieforums.com/images/l...fi/4aoXKF4.jpg 49 Points, 5 Lists |
99 Dune (1984, David Lynch) https://www.movieforums.com/images/l...fi/siJbGd7.jpg 51 Points, 3 Lists |
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:

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.

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

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 !!! |
