Agni.So many to choose from ... 2001 is a classic of course, considering it was made nearly 40 years ago (and Metropolis has to get a mention for being so far ahead of its time too). I also really enjoyed Minority Report - the production team spent a lot of time trying to make the predicted technology appear believable. Blade Runner is great because it is sooo dark - no bright egalitarian future predicted like you find in so many other Sci-Fi movies. My all-time fave Sci-Fi novel is H G Wells "The War of the Worlds" and I look forward to the Speilberg version in a few years time. I just he stays faithful to the book and sets it in Victorian England. Heat Ray armed Martian tripods destroying London... and though the 50s version contained excellent special effects (it won an Oscar for them), it came across dripping with far too much Cold War paranoia for my liking.

Agni.Oh come on! What about Lost In Space? That rocked! It had way better robots in it than Blade Runner, sheesh. ;) Yeah, Blade Runner must be up there. 2001 too. Alien. And this may garner some laughter but I really, really loved the Fifth Element. Le loo multipass. Oh man :-D I also thought the recent Solaris was very good. I haven't seen the original or read the book, it was just a good movie in it's own right. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan wrote: "I always knew that somewhere deep inside that likable, Save the Whales kinda guy there lurked the heart of a troublemaker..."

Agni.Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope The best of the saga, revolutionary for its day, a cultural phenomenon, a simple, clean story of good vs. evil, and a convincing fantasy/sci-fi universe. I frankly find it to be perfect. If you're talking less action and more concept, Blade Runner is right up there on my list, as are 2001 and Dark City.

I saw the movie way back then at a drive in with my 1st wife. We made it through about half the flick and quickly drove home. Definately deserves the designation.

Not really Sci-Fi though was it? It was aired in the UK at the time (and has been repeated a billion times since on the Sci-Fi channel for some reason - it was set in the present day IIRC - even if it was meant to be set a year in the future, I still don't think it counts as Sci-Fi!). There was a similar UK one called "Threads" which was really, really scary - it pulled no punches whatsoever and rather than finishing a few months after the war, it showed how life might be a decade or so later (medieval basically, ending with a gorl of 13 or so giving birth to a horribly deformed baby). I still get the willies just thinking about it (I have it on DVD as it has been hard to come by in the past).
