Very US-centric list but has a few interesting recs. Silent Running is underrated.

It is quite a strange list. Robocop but no Starship Troopers.

No Gattaca.

@kratoz29 I partly meant the way they think the top 10-15 are US.

But yeah some films I’d include are Clockwork Orange, Alphaville, Mad Max, Brain Dead, The Quiet Earth, Okja, Brazil, Run Lola Run, Attack The Block, Threads, Accion Mutante, Videodrome.

Great read. Makes me want to go back and watch them all again. I think it’s interesting to include Star Wars as sci-fi and also Guardians of the Galaxy. For me sci-fi is about stories where technology is a tool to help us to better understand ourselves/ or to tackle ethical dilemmas. I think that just being in space isn’t enough to be sci-fi.
