A canon of science fiction motion pictures

The Rough Guide to Sci-Fi Movies

A list of some of the most influential and important science fiction films made to date. Lists are always subjective and debatable, nevertheless this list has an interesting mix of new and old sci-fi ventures.

The entire list is online here. My list would have included Dark City and Gattaca [and some others if I spent some time thinking about such a list]. Anyone care to suggest some of their favourites?

My top 5 :
1. Stalker (Tarkovsky)
2. La Jettee (Marker)
3. Solaris (Tarkovsky)
4. 2001 (Kubrick)
5. Planet of the Apes (Schaffner)

This list you point to has been doing the rounds. I posted my reaction to it on my blog under "La Jettee". Sci-fi without special effects, and still looking to get your mind blown? Look no further than 1 and 2.
