[QUOTE="Calico_Jack73, post: 4491779, member: 14403"] Look at the OP's question I think we keep listing our favorite movies but are they actually turning point or definitive in the fantasy/scifi genre? For Example: While some comics are more popular and sell more issues I would say that DC's launch of the Vertigo line represented a turning point. Mainstream comics suddenly found that it was "okay" to present stories with adult themes. It is like the difference between the Oscars and the People's Choice awards. Has anyone mentioned Close Encounters of the Third Kind yet? Absolutely incredible movie! For TV Series I'd have to go with Starblazers or Robotech for introducing to many people the idea that an animated series can actually have a multi-season storyline with all of the plot and drama that you'd expect from a live action series. Before those two pretty much all animated shows were just a bunch of stand alone episodes that had nothing to do with each other. I remember running home from school and skipping my homework because the previous episode of Starblazers had left off with a cliffhanger and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Good times!
