The Greatest Sci-Fi, Horror & Fantasy Films of All Time - Aug 25, 2008 - 03:20am
Mr. Biodrowski: Congrdulations sir! It is not often I read a list of proposed 'Greatest' science fiction films that is actually reasonable. i do apologise for not writing sooner but I just found out about the site and I currently am deployed overseas for the Army and cannot get to the internet as I like. So I will leave you with this. I believe that there are always 3 categories when deciding a list of this sort. 1- What GENERALLY accepted as the 100 greatest by Sci-Fi-ologists, 2- what you or I THINK is the 100 greatest and 3- What our personal favorites are that would influence addition to said list. You added 'Horror of Dracula' 1958 Hammer, which would be on my list but that the general audience wouldnt know about. You also added 'Jason and the Argunauts' which is another splended choice. This shows that you know what you are taliking about- however I would argue for these addtional films that challenge the below 36 Dawn of the Dead (1979) Terminator 2 (1990) It's a Wonderful Life (1946) Brazil (1985) Seven (1995) The Matrix (1999) The Road Warrior (1982) A Chinese Ghost Story (1987) The Bride With White Hair (1993) Babe (1995) Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988) Like Water for Chocolate (1994) Beauty and the Beast (1991) Robocop (1986) Toy Story 2 (1999) 12Monkeys Princess Mononoke (1997) The Truman Show (1998) Repulsion (1965) A Christmas Carol (1951) Evil Dead 2 (1987) Edward Scissorhands (1990) Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) Starship Troopers (1997) Miracle Mile (1988) Akira (1988) The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976) The Sixth Sense (1999) Green Snake (1993) Ghost in the Shell (1995) Tenebrae (1982) The Innocents (1961) Altered States (1990) Dark City (1998) The Fly (1986) My 36 include: Invisable man[universal],Fantastic Voyage,The Blob[original],7th Voyage of Sinbad,the Raven(universal), Golden Voyage of Sinbad, The wolfman(Universal), The Mummy(universal), Nosferatu(original),Dr Jeckell and Mr hyde(Frederick March),King kong (2004), Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (Hammer), the Time Machine (original), anaconda, Valley of Gwangi, Day of the Triffids, Dracula Has Risen from the Grave(Hammer), Beast from 20,000 fathoms, The invisable Ray[universal], Island of lost Souls, Star Wars:Attack of the Clones,Star Wars:Rvenge of the Sith, Children shouldn't play with Dead Things, Gamera V/s Legion, Gamera guardian of the Universe, The Thing[john carpenter],the Fly[original],the Collosus of NY, Rasputin the Mad Monk[Hammer],The Gorgon[Hammer],Frankenstein Created Woman[Hammer], Ghostbusters, House of Frankenstein[universal], The Omen, The Devil Rides out[Hammer], Attack of the 50 ft Woman,Creature from the the Black lagoon.
