The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Films: Countdown

I am the opposite. I have never cared for Charlie Kaufman with Eternal Sunshine being the sole thing I enjoyed that he was tied to. When it comes to Kaufman's I prefer Lloyd.

Inspired by Rodent's toy pics (these are also pretty funny...)

I love Eternal Sunshine a lot, and I've seen it several times since its initial release in the theatres, but it's not on my list. I know this is arbitrary, but I just don't view it as science fiction, even though I know it qualifies, because Charlie Kauffman makes his own brand of strange, introspective magic realism like films, and in Eternal Sunshine he was using a science fiction-y device to continue the trend begun in Being John Malcovich, Human Nature, and Adaptation. You gotta make these distinctions in a genre like science fiction and that's the one I made. Robocop is great too, but it's been a while since I've seen it.

2 days behind:
Ex Machina AND Moon made my list AND in the same order. VERY cool. Was very impressed with both of these when they came out. Moon winning out by one with Rockwell (I'm a HUGE fan of his) doing his usual best.

Always loved Robocop but, no idea why, it didn't make my list. REALLY should have.
Seen Eternal Sunshine - liked the concept but not enough to make my list.


My List: 16/25

#3 Serenity (#59)

Oh man, these knock-off Sci-Fi toys are killing me!

I found this one that actually used the Star Wars logo but gave the Emperor's Sith name a new spin.

I'm a little mad right now and I feel like an idiot because I had 28 Days Later on my list....but that isn't even my favorite zombie film and it's the only one I put on my list. Oh well, I guess if you guys do a horror countdown I'll put my favorite zombie films on my list for that *spoilers*

RoboCop is a good movie, but a bit too violent for my taste. (But Hubby would have had it high on his list if he had submitted one.) On a side note, does anyone else think the new TV show "APB" feels a little bit like a RoboCop wannabe?

I liked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but it didn't have enough of a sci-fi "feel" for it to make my list. I know that it's sci-fi, but it felt more like a very good drama rather than a sci-fi movie to me.


Seen: 60-1/2 out of 74
My list: 6 so far

4) The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
6) Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
13) The Avengers (2012)
16) Source Code (2011)
21) Wreck-It Ralph (2012)
23) Galaxy Quest (1999)

OPEN FLOOR.

I miss Hubby. I actually got her to get her hubby to sign up on Movie Forums under the name @Hubby.

You're the one who chased him away too.

Well, of course. I can't remember why, though. He wasn't the transgender person, was he?

No, you cheated in the song tournaments.

Those were the days.

Catch phrase again: have watched none.

But these 2 movies sound intriguing. I'll look out for them.

He was on the other day answering one of the questions.

Sometimes that's not really Hubby, but Gbgoodies in hubby drag, signed on his account.

Next two coming up within the next 10 minutes probably
