Primer and Coherence deserve honorable mention.
Funny I have a band Shoehead. It is from a Zen Koan in Gateless Gate
I fixed your list:
Star Wars
2001
Forbidden Planet
The Day the Earth Stood Still (original)
The Thing (1982)
Alien
Close Encounters
Interstellar
Metropolis
Blade Runner
As a scifi nerd this lost is dog poo..
I’m late to the party, but for movies that examine our reactions to our ultimate demise, I would suggest “Last Night” from 1998 (director Don McKeller). The movie takes place over Earth’s last six hours.
Contact is complete trash.
Until The End Of The World is great if you have the 287 minutes to sit down
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is #3. This channel just made it onto my "Do Not Recommend" list.
The Man Who Fell to Earth. Maybe not top 10 but worth an honorable mention.
i. hate. your. channel.
planet of the apes ending is ate up i will never forget that the staute of liberty half bury in the sand great ending ever
No. No. No. Planet of the apes (1968)? The movie is so bad…
i here to look over sci fiction not history ,,,,,………… fucking idiot admin
list of bullshit
Prestige? Sci fi?
Nothing even mentioning Forbidden Planet. A spooky classic. I supposed most here have never seen it.
This list is a joke, maybe this is some kind of politically correct list
2001 – didn't see that coming 🙄 😁 lol just kidding, I concur. This is a great list, thank you!
I agree, I liked Interstellar.
Should of at least done a top 30 science fiction films of all time!
Zardoz, it's in the same category as 2001. Most people will object violently to including Zardoz in any list except "worst movies of all time."
But, if there are no superior intelligences to guide us in this universe, if it's all up to us, and we aren't up to the task, what's the way forward? Will Nature herself find a way?
When you watch Zardoz, as I know you will, and you see the highest civilization current humans can manage, you might see some trends that are familiar now. You'll realize that John Boorman is a genius.
When you see Sean Connery in his red boots and panties, you'll laugh. All it means is that for some reason Zed and his friends don't need to wear warm clothes even in a Scottish winter. They really don't need to. And their clothes are blood red because their main job is killing.
This is a movie that will make a lot of sense after the second of third viewing.
Any list that excludes Star Wars is wrong. Just all wrong
My top 3 would be Interstellaŕ, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the original Time Machine with Rod Taylor. War of the Worlds, Day of the Triffids and The Thing would be part of a top ten also…the originals of course,no remakes and not the film that the Thing was based on that was called The Thing from Another Planet released in 1951. im 60 yrs old almost.
Imagine puting Her and not Jurassic Park
Glad Snowpiercer make it to this list, great film. Stalker is incredibly boring and over-rated. The industrial cinematography is amazing but there's nothing else going on.
The Thing should have been in here. The Prestige was absolutely amazing btw.
Who is watching in 2024😂
Just to reiterate…whatever quibbles I have with your other choices (where's Things to Come, Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet?), 2001 is the #1 of all time, not bested even by the time of 2024. For my money, it remains the best film of all time. Love you, Charles Foster Kane, but Uncle Stanley nuked you.
Finally someone recognizes '2001' as the best sci-fi film ever…!
Sorry, I just noticed this video is six years old.
GATTACA!!!
"2001" has great spectacle and sound, but it is not a great sci-fi film.
Almost the perfect list. Blade runner instead of The prestige. The prestige…for f sakes…..
Whres bladerunner or alien etc. Bad list
Children of Men is one of my faves. Thank you for including this film. It’s good sci-fi because it’s totally plausible. We are headed to a dystopian future without doubt.
Would have to say I disagree with most of these picks.
MATRIX …end of story
Yep gone with the wind is the best Sci Fi ever … you guys are total dicks
Hmm, that's more like "10 Movies to Watch After You've Sseen the Top 10 Science Fiction Films of All Time"
Why the hell should I seek this info from IGN ? 😂😂😂
what the….!!!??? no Star Trek???
#4 (authoritarian future) should have been Rollerball!
The Road was a great film.
I love how your top-10's give me 30 movies to watch
Genius, I tells Ya. It’s like withholding an Oscar nomination from Margo Robbie just to get people to yell and scream about how unfair it was. Great sci-fi films are the kind you want to watch over and over again and never get tired of them. Films like Predator, the Core, and Alien. Your grouping has half the films that nobody’s ever heard of and the other half nobody ever watched. (Not counting 2001). What meaning does life even have with no War of the Worlds, no Star Wars and no Avatar? None! It’s going to take some time for people to digest these picks and get some closure.
Blade Runner..
No "Blade Runner"?
Not a single Star Trek movie mentioned anywhere in this video… shame.
Snowpiercer? no. Contact? no. You picked Her over District 9 or Blade Runner? Some many hopeless picks.
Good pick with Metropolis! And the #1 pick, of course. But NOT #3… Ugh, not sci-fi imo. Well, maybe it is. Darn it! 😂
