Top 25 sci-fi movies

[Halb]

This fella has a very dry delivery style which can have you nodding off, plus he doesn't rewatch stuff, relies on memory and gets stuff wrong, but it's a list to get you chatting at any rate.

may have to give this a watch once the RWC is over - curious to see how badly my choices have fared!

Alien.
Directed by Ridley Scott.

Bang on

[jimmythingy]

Silent Running is a great film, it does seem to pull at all the emotions.

[Captain Smerc]

The Terminator.

[Andeh1]

Watching this thread for recommendations, thanks!

Honestly find Aliens a better and more "re-watchable" film.

Can someone pop the list up as text, I can't be a*sed to watch a talking head on You Tube but I do love a list with suggestions that I might not have seen.

[SeanyD]

Annihilation.

Bonus points for having the very lovely Natalie Portman in it.

Runaway
The Abyss
Gattaca
The Fantastic Voyage
Aliens
Rollerball (James Caan)
Prometheus
Terminator 1&2
The Andromeda Strain
Star Wars eps 4,5,6
Blade Runner
The Last Starfighter
The Thing
Upgrade
AI
The Forbidden Planet
Total Recall (arnie version)
Wall-E
Alien
THX 1138
The Outer Limits (a specific 1hr episode)
Moonraker
The Matrix
Star Trek the [slow] motion picture
2001 a space odyssey

Some good films there, but some cheating in defining a movie top 25 which contains an episode of a TV programme and also lumps 2x Terminator and 3x Star Wars films into 2 slots.

ETA - above is in order 25-1

[Hedobot]

Twelve Monkeys is one of my favourites. Who doesn't like a bit of time travel

[NewNameNeeded]

I'd have to have:

Star Trek (2009)
Rogue One
District 9

This one specifically excludes big blockbusters. From 8 to 1:
Starship Troopers
The Forbidden Planet
Soldier
Screamers
Edge of Tomorrow
Enemy Mine
Stargate (movie, not TV)
Babylon 5 (movie, not TV)

[MrsMiggins]

I wouldn't say it's my favourite sci-fi film, but Oblivion is worth a watch.

[anonymous-user]

How does the pantomime that is Moonraker make the list?
It’s a pretty mediocre Bond film, and not very sci-fi at all.
The inclusion of the Shuttle fleet and an evil lair in orbit is always acknowledged as EON desperately trying to cash in on the whole Star Wars thing.
