The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown

I haven't seen any Star Wars movies outside of the original trilogy, and I don't have any sort of grasp of their popularity.

I think Wall-E is a shoo-in. I don't see how Wreck-It Ralph makes it ahead of it.

Wall·E will make it for sure...

That's entirely possible, but it would be quite strange having The Incredibles on the list, while not having WALL.E, which is a Sci-Fi film in a much more obvious form.

Wall E seems to be the most popular animated movie on the forum.

Fourth most popular.

I would be shocked if Wall E doesn't make the list, especially since #100 only had 49 points. There's no way in hell Wall E didn't get at least that many. I gave it quite a few myself.

Seen around 56/81

Also... predictions...

I'm probably completely wrong on this. As I've come to learn, I suck at knowing the taste of this forum... This time I tried combining my gut feeling with the opposite of what I would usually do. And this is what came out of it. I don't know, let's see...

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey*(1968)
2. Terminator 2: Judgement Day*(1991)
3. Star Wars*(1977)
4. The Empire Strikes Back*(1980)
5. The Terminator*(1984)
6. Alien*(1979)
7. Blade Runner*(1982)
8. Back to the Future*(1985)
9. The Matrix*(1999)
10. Aliens*(1986)
11. The Thing*(1982)
12. A Clockwork Orange*(1971)
13. The Fly (1986)
14. Jurassic Park*(1993)
15. Planet of the Apes*(1968)
16. WALL.E*(2008)
17. Twelve Monkeys*(1995)
18. Close Encounters of the Third Kind*(1977)

It's the most popular now. Won a HOF and is winning a film tournament.

Is Planet of the Apes really a shoo in. I thought that was just ok, not extraordinary.

I haven't posted my list so far. So here it is

1. Will make it
2. Will make it
3. Won't make it...a recent, sobering, existential film about life
4. Won't make it...one of the best 60s sci fi films, better than The Martian
5. *Logan's Run (1976) #71
6. Will make it (I think)
7. *Solaris (1972) #23
8. *Dune (1984) #99
9. *Forbidden Planet (1956) #38
10. Won't make it...really? you guys suck if this doesn't make it
11. *Starship Troopers (1997) #54
12. *Another Earth (2011) #97
13. *Gattaca (1997) #51
14. Should make it
15. *The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) #39
16. Won't make it...one of the best big budget 50s sci fis and it has a duck
17. Won't make it...GBG really liked this one, so did I
18. Won't make it...A Roger Corman film that is much better than the title suggest
19. Won't make it...one of the scariest British sci fis from the 60s
20. *Donnie Darko (2001) #83
21. *Predestination (2014)
22. Won't make it...I bet this one is on Cricket's list
23. *Mad Max The Road Warrior (1981) #31
24. Won't make it...Honeykid will be pissed that it didn't make it
25. *Cherry 2000 (1987) 1-Pointer

#1 MoFo Sci-Fi Movie... Star Wars Christmas Special

__________________

Capital-I Influential, I think.

Those are much worse indicators than a list where 79 people were able to choose from every animated film that exists. WALL.E lost by about 70 points.

It was #14 on the 1960s MoFo list, so its popularity shouldn't be underestimated.

I believe it won the animated tournament

The amount of participants and the amount of choices to pick from are important when judging a certain poll's representativeness.

That list is so outdated

The first double bill from my list. Two excellent films there even if they are quite different. I had Children of Men at #18. If I had reorganised my list and done it purely in terms of quality it would have been a lot higher as I think it's a phenomenal film. However there are films like They Live and Demolition Man which I wouldn't say are 'better' films but which I have more fondness for as a result of having watched them a lot more often and also just their more enjoyable nature.

And the awesome, utterly badass Total Recall was my #19. Really glad to see it place as the top Verhoeven movie on the list. Also a little surprised as I thought RoboCop appeared to have more of a following on here. You can see my review from a couple of years back here - JayDee's Total Recall review


Seen - 69 / 82

2. The Truman Show (#94)
10. Back to the Future Part II (#42)

15. Independence Day (#40)
16. They Live (#45)
