I've seen all but 2 of those…Starship Troopers and Benji: The Hunted. Of course, I would have to say that Star Trek II would be on the top of the list for me. I can recite it word for word…

Hello? Close Encounters???
I'm a fan of Jumanji (even before the movie) and I don't recall it categorized as Sci-Fi.
Good list though… always gonna get arguments, so don't listen to us.

Ah the joys of top other people's top five, or ten lists, and how one's own is superior. All I will say is that Terminator (one) and Aliens would most likely make my top ten.

Frequency. Corny, maybe – but I *love* that movie! (I still have not seen The Matrix although I have owned the DVD since Nov. 2000.)

Any sci-fi “best of” list that has “Stargate” but not “Blade Runner” and nothing at all by Jim Cameron has obviously run off into the weeds somewhere. And while I enjoyed the heck out of “The Fifth Element,” I would classify it more as a guilty pleasure than a great sci-fi film. Oh, and speaking of Bruce Willis, how about “12 Monkeys”?

Oh, almost forgot — if you're going to go with something by Verhoeven (”Starship Troopers”) I might humbly suggest the first “Robocop” instead. Goofy premise, smart script, amazing execution.
“Contact,” however, we are in complete agreement on.

I'd like to see the director's cut of Blade Runner before I pass final judgement – and I've yet to see 12 Monkeys in its entirety.

How could you leave out 2001: A Space Odyssey?

I’m simply appalled that you didn’t include Bladerunner on your list! I’m spinning in my grave right now. The Earth’s energy needs for the next 5 million years could be supplied if you hooked me up as a generator.
Seriously, dude, Bladerunner. If not for the storyline, for the cinematography!
