That was why I named my thread "Futuristic-Fantasy" and discounted LOTR and stuff like Willow and Harry Potter.
I doubt anyone will vote for Potter or LOTR though with it being a sci-fi countdown.
But yeah, we gotta be sure the movies included are sci-fi rather than just a plethora of Star Wars movies.


Trek would definitely count.


Another thing, would superhero movies count?
Superman, Avengers, Guardians Of The Galaxy and the ilk?
I mean, they are set in the real world but with huge hits of sci-fi in them.

Obviously Nope is running it this is just for recs, we did a seperate thread for recs for Docs, 50s, 60s, etc as well. I only mentioned Fantasy because i saw someone mention it the other day as i said in the first post i'm not sure what has been decided.

Hopefully no! Besides there is already a Comic Book Movies Top 100 countdown.

Thanks. Really liked Chungking Express so i'm hoping this counts and i like it as much then.

Eternal Sunshine, Batteries Not Included, Meet the Robinsons, Wall E and Paprika are all not listed as Science Fiction on IMDb. The first two are listed as Fantasy. The third one (which is a time travel film) is listed as Adventure and Comedy. Wall E is listed as Adventure and Family. Paprika is listed as Adventure and Crime, even though The Cell - which has a similar premise - is listed as Science Fiction.

I think we're gonna have to use IMDb and Wiki, plus other sites, to sort this one out on what movies are defined as "Science Fiction".


I mean, technically, something like Star Wars 1-7 would count in the minds of a lot of people.

WALL-E and Paprika were two i took off that top 100 SCI-Fi list which i would vote for. I didn't even consider WALL-E not counting

Was just looking through that thread and here was Nopes answer:

Also, regarding what is a Sci-Fi Movie, I would say that any movie that is tagged by IMDb as Sci-Fi should be allowed. There can also be some exceptions for example: Ghostbusters is not tagged as Sci-Fi by IMDb, but I think it should be considered for the countdown. If we were to do a Scif-Fi countdown, I would let people bring up a movie that is not tagged by IMDb, and then we can all decide if it should be allowed.

Sounds like Nope has a plan! I like this part:

Sounds sensible and democratic to me.
