scytale,

Dune Part 2 will be the newest addition to the list.

Great read. Makes me want to go back and watch them all again. I think it’s interesting to include Star Wars as sci-fi and also Guardians of the Galaxy. For me sci-fi is about stories where technology is a tool to help us to better understand ourselves/ or to tackle ethical dilemmas. I think that just being in space isn’t enough to be sci-fi.

Very US-centric list but has a few interesting recs. Silent Running is underrated.

The_Che_Banana,

Interstellar rated below Robocop???

It is quite a strange list. Robocop but no Starship Troopers.

No Gattaca.

The_Che_Banana,

No 5th element? No Close Encounters

THAT’S IT, I’M CALLING SHENANIGANS!

nilloc,

There was close encounters. No Brazil. And children of men was criminally underrated.

The_Che_Banana,

I missed that, and absolutely agree on the other points.

Speaking of Brazil, have you seen Beau is Afraid? IMO it’s this generations Brazil.

High life was pure garbage, should have been Prospect or I am Mother at the very least

That's been on my watchlist for a while now. The Brazil comparison is enticing...

kratoz29,

What are good sci-fi movies not US-centric?

@kratoz29 I partly meant the way they think the top 10-15 are US.

But yeah some films I'd include are Clockwork Orange, Alphaville, Mad Max, Brain Dead, The Quiet Earth, Okja, Brazil, Run Lola Run, Attack The Block, Threads, Accion Mutante, Videodrome.
