And we start off with a film from my list: Dune was #15 on my list! I've also seen Looper, and I thought it was a decent film with interesting concepts, though I didn't like the way its time travel "logic" was worked out.

The Stats
The Incredibles
The first animated and/or superhero film to make the list. The Incredibles had a pretty slow start, but once it was first listed it started ramping up speed. The Incredibles was tied with Dune both in points and lists, so since the highest place The Incredibles got was 3rd compared to Dune's 4th, it won the tiebreaker.
Layout: 3rd, 10th, 14th
Another Earth
Another fairly recent film. This is the first entry on our list so far not to be tied with anything, so no interesting facts or stats here.
Layout: 5th, 9th, 12th

I've seen The Incredibles, but not Another Earth. Actually, I'm not even sure I've heard of Another Earth before. Looks pretty though.

I love The Incredibles but I didn't consider any superhero movies or include any animation.
I'm not familiar with Another Earth.

Another Earth is one I've wanted to see for a long time... this only made me more excited about it.
The Incredibles is fun and entertaining enough, but I never thought of it to be much more than that. The action-packed movie is too fun and fast-paced to have the same depth and emotion as other Disney/Pixar films. It's there, but it's less present and it's not like I talk down to it for being more actiony... it's just the reason it never was much more than that for me.

Looper was on my list.
Dune bored me to death when I saw it more than a decade ago.
The Incredibles is all right. At the time it might have been something special, but in today's superhero saturated market it doesn't stand out to me.
I enjoyed and recommend Another Earth.

I actually watched Another Earth a couple of months ago. Wasn't really what I was expecting but I did like it in the end. Its actual sci-fi quotient is really quite minimal. In fact the sci-fi element of the second Earth serves almost no purpose to the actual plot. Instead it exists more for metaphorical reasons, representing second chances and how our lives can be completely changed by the smallest of decisions and moments. I'd definitely describe it as more of a human drama about guilt and grief than a slice of science fiction. Once I'd realised that and accepted it I was able to get on board with it. That was helped immeasurably by a rather beautiful and heartwrenching performance from Brit Marling. In fact for her performance alone I'd say it was worth a watch for anyone that's not seen it

I like The Incredibles, never heard of the other.
One of the reasons I didn't make a list is Superhero and Star Wars movies. Could have filled a list with them easily, but they feel like a different genre. Goes against the spirit of Sci-fi in my opinion. Hard to find that line I guess.

I haven't seen the Incredibles in years, probably since it came out. It was alright. They are making a second one though that is coming out next year. It didn't make my list.
I've actually heard of Another Earth but I never got around to watching it the concept fascinated me. I just forgot about it because back when this came out I was watching a lot more movies than now.

How is it not Science Fiction? Nevermind the superhero aspects, it contains technology that doesn't actually exist.

I'll give you the technology, but unlike superhero movies such as Superman or Spider-Man (both on my list) and the Fantastic Four (not on my list, but with a totally sci-fi base story), the Incredibles never offered an origin for the heroes powers. Now, say they got their powers from a wizard in a cave or they came from a magic orb or something - that would severely diminish the sci-fi factor of the concept.
Either way I was one of three people that not only felt that it qualified, but liked it enough to include in their ballots and it made the list.
