Wait a minute!@##$$#@! I didn’t see The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Sheesh!
I put Forbidden Planet in the top ten. Absolutely
Read something a while back where it was said Kubrick and Clarke sort of made it up as they went along. The book did not exist until the movie was finished.
Without looking at the list I thought Alien should be number one. The Day the Earth Stood Still should be in the top 10.
Saturn 3 with Kirk Douglas and Farah Fawcett. Awesome!
Thanks for printing the list. The link was a mess and locked up my computer. I’d say only about 15 of those would be on my list. I would have included The Time Machine, both versions of The War of the Worlds, Target Earth, The Attack of the Crab Monsters, and a few others.
terrible list, half of which were not even sci fi
No Jules Verne stuff, either - especially 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
Wall-E was basically an informercial for the envirowhacos.
I have around 6 bays of floor to ceiling books of scifi. Never could get into the movies other than Star Wars and Star Trek.

Ditto.
Agree with Alien as No. 1.
No “Fifth Element”. Bogus list.
When Rod Taylor went underground to rescue Weena I was quite literally shaking in terror.
Good times, but apparently only made it to number 108.
The remake is true to the short story by Campbell, but I still prefer the original.
“To God, there is no zero. I still exist!”
Incredible Shrinking Man.
Agreed1 Along with the other 1950s Ray Harryhausen great monster films!
Not a fan of cartoon, comedies and comic books as SciFi
