TimeOut dares to go there, and they did it in a big fashion, by making a ranked list of the 100 best science fiction films of all time. But it wasn't just the TimeOut staff who contributed opinions. They also asked a few experts, "from Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Sir Paul Nurse, to Oscar-decorated film director Guillermo del Toro, to Game of Thrones writer George RR Martin and Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker," to make the list seems more, uh, professional.
Since this is a list of 100 movies, I expected it to begin with some that are pretty bad, but no. There have been so many good science fiction films over the past century that the entire list is worth a watch. The list is populated with good movies interspersed with movies I haven't yet seen, and in that it works as a recommendation list. You'll want to argue about the rankings, and maybe the categorization of some movies, but you have to admit that it's a treasure trove of sci-fi goodness. -via Metafilter
Starship Troopers is a work of genius and should have a higher ranking. Verhoeven tried to mock the source material and failed.
I never liked Blade Runner. It's far too slow.
