    Sci Fi?

    Good Sci Fi should allow us to see into the "plausible" future. My ratings would be:

    Alien (plausible physics biology)

    2001 (clever but a bit arty - farty)

    Gattaca (quite close in DNA terms)

    Solaris (1972 version Sentient force)

    Blade Runner (draws on iRobot and takes it a bit further)

    Slient Running (hmm they way we are going on earth!!!)

    Metropolis (watch it. You'll see)

    Matrix (not the best film but plausible)

    I discount the likes of ET, Third Encounters etc as superseeded by Alien.

    Stars Wars Star Trek and there ilk are out on known phyiscs grounds. The above list are also way better shot cinematically.

    "Good Sci Fi should allow us to see into the "plausible" future."

    That is exactly why the 1st poster was right - Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus should be no.1.

    And possible no.2 and no.3 as well.

    Could we include...

    The oft overlooked:

    Dark City

    Akira

    Brazil

    12 Monkeys

    Also on the subject of Metropolis, the 2001 anime version which is loosely based on the original is quite a visually stunning film in it's own right.

    No "Day of the Triffids"?

    OK it was a TV series that could be bodged into a movie. Love that dsytopian look.

    "Quiet Earth" - brought for 3 quid from WH Smiths. Nice NZ 1980s scenes, we do small budget and few-people movies quite well.
