That was a good one, too. It was really difficult making the list because there are so many good ones over so many years!

Classic

Matrix was my favorite but there are so many others, not even on the list.

Matrix had a lot of spiritual context as well as adventure. The depth of the movie was astounding. For instance: in one elevator scene, behind Neo, there were some writings on the wall. One said “Allah” in Arabic and one was the initials of Gerdiff (KYM).

I watch that one at least once or twice a year! The whole plot is very well written.

There is no leaving Dune out of the best of genre. It comes in very high on my list and have seen every version of it to come out, so far.

Yes, the last one you watched is strongest in your memory. There is also another recency problem with older movies, like the original “Thing” being forgotten because “Dune 2” is more recent. For instance, 2001: A Space Odyssey was a ground breaking film, but we only see the results of that groundbreaking, now.

This is another original groundbreaker! A lot of people seem to see it as a favorite. It is my choice for number one, but choosing others tor the next 25 slots would be difficult because there are so many good ones.

That one was good, too. Even back then they knew that THEY were here. The message still hasn’t gotten through to many people. There were messages on many levels.

I think that there are so many great ones that it is hard to count. Perhaps science fiction movies is one of the larger ganres in terms of the number of movies made in it. They all seem to have some sort of point to make, which makes them more memorable.

Wow, that goes back a bit! You must be a Tom Hanks fan!

Yeah, there were a lot more I wanted to put in the choice list but there is a limit to the number of choices you can give. I have seen all of these and have 5 of therm on DVD. I like them all in secondary or tertiary positions.

Yes, It is great! What are Lindy rules?

I couldn’t fit in any TV series, due to lack of slots. I filled every possible slot and still had many movies to add.

This one is one of the greats, too. Bucaroo Banzai is a hero not to forget.

Ghost in the Shell has been done in live action with Scarlett Johanson. I don’t know if Akira was done in live action but the anime was good. The whole Alien series was good but it was the first one with the alien popping out of Hurt’s chest that set the whole series going. Philip Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is a great novel and the adaption to Bladerunner was well done. You don’t often see such good adaptions.

LOVE this movie!

Yes, Dark City was very interesting, although very dark in the plot and the film noir style.

Matrix seems to be the most common choice so far! It is at the top of my personal list, too.

Funny about this list, I have them all on DVDs. I can watch them over and over.

Also another good one! There have been three versions now (two movies and a cable TV series) and all have been good.

The sequels are interesting, too. There is a lot of symbolism in them, too. In the second one, the floor of the mansion where Neo has the big fight with The Merovingian’s henchmen is a big Magen David.
