10 films in no order
1. 2001 a Space Oddyssey - the first SF film I ever saw and one of the few films I'll go and see again and again.
2. Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson) - really it is just one very long movie!
3. Pi
4. Dark Star
5. Aliens - one of the best war movies ever made!
6. City of Lost Children
7. Vampyr - Carl Dreyer silent, maybe should not qualify, but in many ways more fantasy than horror

10. The Matrix - just the first one

Honourable mentions:
Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator, T2: Judgement Day, Solaris (both versions), Time Bandits, Jabberwocky, Nosferatu, Shadow of the Vampire

Cool!! I didn't think anyone would List Them! as one of there favs.. I've this movie since I was about 4 or 5... I got it on VHS and watch it every now and then but haven't picked up the DVD yet.. and yes I spelled Them! wrong I forgot the "!" at the end..

Dark City was also good and I would have put it on the list if I would have remember it... A real good thinking movie that most people never saw..

I also would like to Ammend my List if I had an 11th slot I would have definatlly put in "The Haunting" the original one.. It was a real low buget horror movie that was real scary at times. It also had a Superb ending.. Granted some of you might say it don't belong the list since it's a horror movie, but if you watch it you don't really know what movie type it is.. It could be Scifi, or Horror but to tell you why would spoil the movie.. Watch it if you get a chance..

Well let's see the Star wars movies, The Matrix movies, and The Princess Bride get me to ten, I won't bother with order.

Do we count Equilibrium as sci-fi?
