[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9782129, member: 7023840"] Oh wow. Let's see, I previously did a Top 10 Science Fiction Shows of all Time... [EMBED content="thread-680601"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/science-fiction-greatest-tv-shows-part-iii.680601/[/EMBED] (That was as of June 2021) But top five movies? In no particular order... [B]2001[/B]. This is pretty much the alpha and omega of serious science fiction movies. There's before 2001, and after. [B]Blade Runner[/B]. It's hard to think of a more influential movie in terms of shaping our perceptions of what a dystopian future looks like. [B]Metropolis[/B]. Okay, there might be one film that ranks with 2001 and Blade Runner in terms of influence. And maybe outranks. [B]Star Wars[/B]. Sure, it might actually be fantasy, but this created the science fiction blockbuster. And the shared universe/sequel ... for better and worse. [B]Solaris[/B] (1972). Some might put Stalker higher- I appreciate that, but to me this is the Tarkovsky film that approaches 2001. Even though Tarkovsky didn't like 2001, and Kubrick didn't like Solaris. Game [S]recognizes[/S] hates game. I'd also accept [I]The Matrix [/I]for this spot given the sizeable impact it had on post-2000 movies. Now, those are [I]the [/I]top five. My own personal Snarfian list would be quite different. I tend to really enjoy films like [I]Under the Skin[/I], and would ask questions like, "Is [I]Poor Things[/I] science fiction?" [/QUOTE]
