Re: Top 5 Science Fiction
OK. This one is gonna be hard for me. I'm calling this my Blade Runner Memorial list, and I'm gonna include Alien as a horror film (maybe I should call this my Ridley Scott memorial list). In fact to keep this interesting I'm going to leave off all of the obvious picks 2001, Close Encounters, Star Wars etc.
1. Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1956) - Truly scary even by today's standards. I never tire of this film. The 1978 version is actually quite good, but the original will always top my list.
2. Dark City (1998) - Dark, Smart, and unlike anything you have seen before, Dark City is hugely Inspired by but not a rip off of Metropolis. One of the best and most underrated films of the past ten years.
3.The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) - Often imitated but never equaled. It still remains one of America's most powerful and important films.
4. Minority Report (2002) - An all to easily forgotten and overlooked film. Minority Report is a Masterpiece of Storytelling and Style. After Blade Runner, it's my favorite Phillip K. Dick adaptation.
5. The Time Machine (1960) - Yes, It's a bit cheesy but It's one of my favorite stories ever. One of my favorite films as a kid, The Time Machine still holds up. Those Morlocks scare me to this day.
