The MoFo Top 100 Sci-Fi Movies

Arrival should make the list.

A film that I hope makes the countdown is The Invisible Man (1933)

Good call, I think she would like both of those and the one Nope just mentioned The Invisible Man (1933).


Clazor what did you think of those? Is that the order you liked them in?

Thanks for the recommendations.


From this list, I've seen Apollo 18, Fantastic Voyage, Never Let Me Go, and When Worlds Collide. The only one that I didn't like was Apollo 18.

I'll add the rest of the list to my sci-fi watchlist.



I haven't seen either The Abyss or The Andromeda Strain, but I think I have both of them on DVD. But I'm not sure if The Andromeda Strain is the right version. I'll have to check.

Both of these movies were already on my sci-fi watchlist, but I bumped them up closer to the top of the list.


I've seen the movie Abbott and Costello Meet The Invisible Man, and I liked that, so I'll add The Invisible Man to my watchlist too.

OPEN FLOOR.

No, just how I listed them as I remembered them at point of writing. The City of lost Children and Dark City were the clear favourites, with 20 000 leagues and Journey coming in after. I had seen both of the time machine movies before, but I needed a refresher, which was fun, cause I liked them both. I have an issue with McDowell though. I can't reconsiliate this man:


with this one:


The first man looks like he can enter a wedding and fist the groom, while the older gentleman couldn't even fathom such a thing. And yet, he did! And that scares me somewhat.

Wasn't overly impressed with Fantastic voyage (other than with visuals and FX, which were very cool). Same with Solaris '02 which I mentioned previously in the recommend thread.

Thirteenth floor was simply meh. Nothing I really liked, nothing I really disliked. Forgetable.

It was interesting seeing Twelve monkeys and La Jeteé back to back (twelve first). You could see the influences, both narrativley and in some aspects visually, but Gilliam did put his own special spin on it. You could tell that the director of Brazil made this movie (which I also saw not to long ago, come to think about it). I liked it well enough, but I don't think it'll make my list.

Primer was a heavy movie, not only in the diffuse narrative threads and complex chronology, but emotionally as well. Sure, they're excited when they first discover the phenomenon and realize wat it means, but soon the worry and anxiety sets in and suddenly, it's the worst thing for them. Mistrust breeds paranoia and in the end, they're both screwed. Glad to have seen it, needs another two or three watches to really be understood comepletely, but that won't happen. Once was enough.

Try my best to throw together a list for this Nope!

Just so you guys know, Soylent Green is a great film, but not spelled Solyent Green or Solvent Green.
I'm the worlds worst speller...but if you vote for this movie, do Nope a favor and don't confuse him with alternative spellings

Today marks the TWO MONTH deadline!

Thanks for the heads-up, will prune my watch list accordingly.

I added Soylent Green to my watchlist, and I also need to see Donnie Darko again because I hardly remember it.

I hope everyone watches all the King Kongs.

TokeZa has sent in a list, that makes 10!

I watched The Abyss, and I loved it. It has a chance to break into my top 25 sci-fi list.

I checked my DVD of The Andromeda Strain, but it's the wrong version. It's the A&E mini-series from 2008. Would the mini-series be eligible for this countdown, or does it have to be a movie?

Also, I watched the Joss Whedon movie In Your Eyes (2014), but I'm not sure if that was a movie theater release or a TV movie. I loved it, and it has a good chance to make my list too. Would In Your Eyes be eligible for this countdown?

In Your Eyes counts. I'm not a fan but yeah i don't see any reason why it shouldn't be eligible.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if it was a TV movie, and if so, I didn't know if TV movies were eligible.

Right i wasn't aware it wasn't released theatrically, i just watched it on Netflix once and assumed it was especially because of Whedons involvement. It wasn't a TV Movie either though, not sure what you'd categorize it as exactly. From Wiki:

I think it should still count but it'd be up to Nope since it is a fairly unique case.

Thanks for the info. I'll wait for Nope's decision before making my list.

Did you watch the theatrical or extended cut?
