Yeah Alien is another great def. Dark City..Mediocre..hmm..well my favorite thing about Dark City is just the odd atmosphere it has. I think it might depend on when/how you see it. I remember when I saw it first I didn’t know what it was gonna be about, I was about 13 and I found it really eerie and disorientating. I think the feeling just stuck with me.

Great choices (though I haven’t seen Sunshine and so can’t speak to that). Alien would probably have rounded out my own Top 5, and I have to disagree on Dark City — I found that movie to be mediocre at best.

Btw – what happened to the Blade Runner pic?

Oh yeah Alien….yeah that is a brilliant film I was going to put that in instead of Sunshine (I probably would have if I’d watched it more recently, I guess I felt more um “touched” or something by Sunshine). Just to address another fairly obvious omission,I left out 2001:A Space Odyssey because, although I know its a good film, I just find it hard to watch and not entirely enjoyable really. The Thing is good..quite disgusting in parts,but it’s fun- it’s like a who-done-it, but combined with the horrific. I best mention I also was close to putting in The Fly, and The Matrix. In fact maybe stick The Matrix in there at no. 6. Part 1 of the trilogy was really spectacular in its own right.

Can I count Alien as a sci fi movie for your list? Alien and Aliens are great. Also The Thing is quite good if not my favourite. I still need to see some of the above so I can’t comment properly.
