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! I’m simply appalled that you didn’t include Bladerunner on your list! I’m spinning in my grave right now.

Goofy premise, smart script, amazing execution. "Contact," however, we are in complete agreement on.

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"?

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

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. Hello?
