Which sci-fi movie is your favourite?

I am just so fascinated by sci-fi movies. It takes me on a journey to a world of "possibilities".

I have been practicing lucid dreaming for the past few days and i can't get the movie "INCEPTION" out of my mind.

Which sci-fi movie is your favourite?

@SomeAreBoojums "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" being one of them! In a sense, Philip K. Dick redefined SF in his work.

@SW-User Certainly. Make sure it is The Director's Cut, the version director Ridley Scott wanted.

@Northwest no it wasnt...he got to the stars and he deserved it, it was a triumph of the spirit and will. It was a human movie with a sci fi backdrop....

Sci Fi would probably be Blade Runner because the visuals for 1982 were simply stunning.
If you included Sci Fantasy the answer would be different.

@VirginMatchmaker Blade Runner was made without CGI. All of the "special effects" were done with models of the city, as well as actual sets, etc.

although the special effects have not aged well and today look old and although it was considered by some to be a flop, the 1084 david Linch's "Dune" is one of my favorite sci-fi movies. I also think the original matrix is maybe the best sci-fi movie ever made. when it came out it really revolutionised what we expect from a sci-fi movie.

Lynch's dune is like trippin without trippin.
Yeah, I can see that.

Personally, I didn't love Lynch's Dune because some of the science looked wrong; particularly the ornithopters. No way those clunky things would fly. The ornithopters in the new Dune are genius though!

@Elevatorpitches Similarly, sequels are almost always worse than the original. Compare Friedkin's "The Exorcist" (1973) and those idiotic sequels which followed a couple of years later...

"The Lathe of Heaven" (1980), based on the Ursula K Leguin novel. Great movie. There’s been a 2002 remake, and it’s good, but the original is best.
