(intentionally left out Star Wars and Star Trek, I love them but find it too hard to choose between and not include several)
(2001 is one of those things where I feel like I should pick it and while I enjoyed it, I still don't know exactly how I feel about it)

Blade Runner (1982
Ghost in the Shell (1995)
The Matrix (1999)
Alien (1979)
Aliens (1986)
The Thing (1982)
Donnie Darko (2001)
Wall-e (2008)
Terminator 2 (1991)
Event Horizon (1997

Was Donnie Darko really sci-fi though?

I struggled with this actually, but I consider it to be. Maybe not in the traditional sense. It's got time travel.
If I had to replace it with something more traditional it would probably be replaced with Minority Report, Interstellar, or Prometheus.

Why would you nominate this abomination? Repent now!

I have a nostalgic connetion to it because we're the same age, and it has a good German (*) villain


Austrian, but aren't the best German villains Austrians?

OMG, that film is exquisitely horrible.

I saw it at the cinema. One of my earliest trips.

I got through it on chemicals too.

Did anybody enjoy Lost in Space the movie. I did! I was off my face too!

Lol no, what a turd
Well, if you liked it, you must have your reasons. Silly reasons, undoubtedly, but who am I to judge such terrible taste!

But ....but .....Gary Oldman?

Just watch The Fifth Element twice instead!

Prometheus lost my interest when Charlize Theron got squashed like a bug.

But in fairness it still remains far from the worst atrocity ever perpetrated upon the franchise of acid blooded chest busters
