This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard... As far as stupidity goes, this ranks right up there with BRAVO's "Top 100 Funniest Movies of All Time." Napoleon Dynamite was number 1(ARE YOU KIDDING ME!), Monty Python and The Holy Grail was number 40, Blazing Saddles was number 25, Clueless was number 10! Just ludicrous, who ever votes for these things should be lined up and shot...
I win because I have the most fun in life...

No.:-D I voted for the other guy - "None of the above".
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

1. Serenity 2. Star Wars 3. Blade Runner 4. Planet of the Apes 5. The Matrix 6. Alien 7. Forbidden Planet 8. 2001: A Space Odyssey 9. The Terminator 10. Back to the Future According to a survey by SFX[^] magazine on the BBC[^] news website. Pretty much my top 10 other than that I would have had Planet of the Apes at number 2 as an extraordinarily different film (the book upon which the film is based is excellent).

Eh, Serenity is a fun movie and all but it is hardly Blade Runner, 2001 or even Star Wars. I'd even put BTTF before it. I think Serenity got to #1 because of the fans of Firefly who, if they took a moment to really think about it, would be embarrassed to realise they just voted Serenity above Star Wars...

Serenity? You got to be kidding me. It wasn't that bad a movie, but it's instantly forgettable. Blade Runner is the greatest sci-fi movie ever.

That was West World, this had Harrison ford and Rutger Hauer.

True, it was a fasion statement rather than a classic.

That's Blade Runner!... not Balde Runner (which is what Chris wrote) - last time I try to be funny :rolleyes: I simply adore Blade Runner... and Rutger Hauer's death scene is great... Is West World watchable? I had never heard about it!

He was commenting on the misspelling of "Blade" in Chris' post. (He spelled it "Balde", hence the Yul Brenner comment).

That's an interesting list, because except for Serentiy, I can almost specifically point to each of those films as rather 'groundbreaking' for their day - whether it as a new twist to Sci-Fi storylines (in movies of course) or for special effects or something. I truly fail to see what might be so special about Serenity.

WestWorld was different in its day as well. I vageuly remember seeing that in the theatre when it first came out. Its sequel, FutureWorld, not so good.

I don't know this movie too
you should.:^) Started from a show called FireFly, got cancelled, made bunch o' monnies on DVD sales, made a movie called Serenity. 'Indiana Jones in space' is a good call, although 'Deadwood meets Red Dwarf + awesomeness' could qualify. I live in Belgium, and there is no way our stupid TV companies are ever going to air a cancelled TV-show. But it is the greatest show ever. And the movie diserves the credit.

Well ... FarScape was better :cool:
I use phrases 'best ___ ever' constantly, so it's probably not really credible. and I tried a few FarScape eps, never really got the hang of it... was too star-trekkie
