I don't click links either, but I hope "This Island Earth" is on there, too. Same era, but in color.

In the words of one great work of science fiction, "The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity, and the ways our differences combine to create meaning and beauty." Sci-fi itself is a genre that contains multitudes — space opera, time travel, dystopia, cyberpunk, apocalypse and post-apocalypse, just to name a few. Sci-fi has been the domain of Hollywood blockbusters and independent art films, presented as comedy and drama, used to paint bright futures or portents of doom.
On this list, you'll find permutations of every sort, spread across a variety of decades, countries, and languages. While entries on our list date back as far as 1927, we must confess a preference for the new — nearly half of the entries on our list were made in this century, as digital filmmaking and effects have lowered the barrier for producing quality sci-fi and allowed more storytellers to project their bold imaginings.

Looked through the list... clearly copied and pasted in random order.
1st Star Wars before the prequels
All but the first Star Trek movies, plus Star Trek 2009 reboot movies
Earth Versus the Flying Saucers better be on there.
I’ve never been a big far of Sci-Fi. Counting the first three Star Wars films as Sci-Fi the only four I’ve ever liked were those three plus War of the Worlds. Actually....I just remembered Terminator II.
Seriously though, I doubt if there are 100 science fiction movies of any significant merit, let alone “the best”.
Snort.
2001, The Arrival, Contact, The Time Machine...those were real SciFi movies.
Where is Robot Monster and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes?
BTW, Kilauea is erupting. :-)
This list can’t be real with that one.
No Plan Nine From Outer Space? Come on, I thought these guys were serious.
No Buckaroo Banzai?
Blade Runner should be #1 and Forbidden Planet is top ten. The Thing (Carpenter) and Dark City are also top 10.
How seriously can you take such a list when it doesn’t include The Stepford Wives?
I don't click links either, but I hope "This Island Earth" is on there, too. Same era, but in color.

Science Fiction was always one of my favorites and I gre up on really bad science fiction. Back when I was young, there was no all night TV.
One channel was all you got after 1 AM on Sat and it was always some bad science fiction movie and you had to like it or else.
Just remembered another old favorite The Mole People.
Anyway, I grew to rally love these movies even though today I can see them for what they were, they still have a special place in my heart.
We called it Star Trek, the Motionless Picture.

Or “E.T” and “Close Encounters Of The Third Kind”?!
