The Best Science Fiction Movies Ever (Part 10)

[babyeierkopf]

to recommend: Lifeforce.british SF.1985 by Tobe Hooper.

[ScienceFictionNerd]

Star Trek The Wrath Of Khan is one of the best

[Jak2star]

no star wars!!!!!!!

[frankie28web]

great job, grat list. as for the top 5, i would have mad the exact same list !

[HirachieOfSociety]

I'm so glad you put bladerunner high up on the list. Honestly It's one of the best/underrated Sci-Fi movies of all time.

[lievenvv]

LOL love how you slipped one extra in there :D

[mtblerxc]

You have done a great job! Thanks.

[KutWrite]

Nicely done! Good editing & music.

I didn't see it, but for me, AI seemed a lot like Pinocchio. I'd have put "Forbidden Planet" or "THX-1138" in that slot. Did you rate those?

[papergamers]

weres aliens?

[adinferis]

Have you concidered Starship Troopers(1997)? I personally find that it holds an unprecedented amount of hidden black humour, topped off with military, political and popcultural parody. The sugar coating made up of pretty actors and a CGI-budget just improves the over-the-top-parody.

Oh, and im glad you excluded Avatar. Pocahontas, the disney movie all over again, except in space..

[fuzzywzhe]

Come on AI? AI was rated better than Brazil? Better than Blade Runner? Better than Alien?

AI was a bitter BITTER disappointment, primarily because I could see what Kubrick wanted to do with the film, and what SPIELBERG (yuck) did with it. It was a popcorn flick.

Kubrick sweated and toiled over his films. Spielberg squeezes them out like Nadia Suleman has children.

@luyben12 1.- Lord of the Rings is Fantasy. 2.- I consider Matrix a bad copy of "Ghost in the Shell", "DarkCity" and Akira. 3.- Star Wars is for me an epic Fantastic Film in SPACE. 4.- When i created this video Avatar was in production, anyway i don´t consider it one of the best movies of James Cameron.

[Parisneo]

@csnc82 How about Back to the future?? For me, that was the best movie ever.

[MaGenFR]

@csnc82

Avatar is a bad copy of Pocahontas in space :)

Very good lists, I was fearing that I watch every good science fiction movie. Thanks to you I added 29 movies I have never watch to my own list ! I hope you understood my bad conjugaison ^^

[FailingTube]

Very nice list, I agree with most picks. It just sucks because I was hoping to find a movie I had not seen before...but I've seen them all. Btw, should update your list to include Inception, original idea and a great movie, in top 20 for sure.

[Gail940]

great 60s sci fi films - Dr who & the daleks - dalek invasion earth - fantastic voyage - first men in the moon - Quatermass & the pit - day of the triffids - the earth dies screaming - the time machine - island of terror - night of the big heat - cant miss out either Dr Who / Star Trek maybe not a films but to important to miss out -

sorry [ voyage to the bottom of the sea - yes incorrectly by me put in 50s]

[Gail940]

i was brought up on my dads old vids, & inherited them, so ive seen most sci fi films, and a lot of films in general, for you guys out there who think star trek & starwars is it, check out forbidden planet, which was the forunner to startrek, and all the film made after the 50s upto today are based upon that list, in one way or another, for example take the Morlocks & Eloy from the 60s time machine, the film, was the basis for Dr Who, & these where the basis for the Daleks & Tals in doctor who

[Gail940]

these films no way had the benifit of budgets of today, and maybe even dodgy sets and effects but wow, they stand against any & all of todays films, regardless of budgets, it was about acting then suspence, the actors had to make you believe it was real, because of less than ideal sets & props, not going to say todays actors are crap, but some of them give lazy performances, because they know the special effects will grab you, less concentration upon facial expression and acting ablities

[Gail940]

conquest of space - destination moon - forbidden planet - invaders from mars - invasion of the body snatchers - i married a space monster - it came from outer space - it the terror from outer space - not of this earth - Quatermass1/2 - x the unknown - the day the earth stood still - the strange world of planet x - the thing from another world - the war of the worlds - this island earth - vogage to the bottom of the sea - when worlds collide - all 50s - the time machine 60s - Ultimate list ever

[Gail940]

1st, it;s not a personal list "you made it public" so dont winge! if you get berated, for a pp list, and it is, your being told by people, what about this & that, you then have the termerity to tell them look at my international list, you have shown a countdown! and placed at the begining, METROPOLIS, well, it's by a german & a cast of german people, you managed a few 50s classics, wow you'll notice more & more the remakes which regardless fails, because they where superior films inc pp effects

[SteveSabbai]

...No Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Wrath of Khan?

[sillymonkey8888]

This is a fantastic list, although I thought 'Demon Seed' would have been a good one for the list.

[1stkingslash]

For a second I thought the first one was Bicentennial Man

[michaeljamesmccabe]

I actually agree on the top three, and in that order. I have Empire Strikes Back in the Top 5. But, great list overall. Nice work and thanks for posting! (Great soundtrack!)

[xxtiaan]

the triffids is a great old 70s brit sci fi that should be on there

and an 80's series called the tripods was really cool

and p jacksons district 9 should be on there cos its a great metaphor as well as a cool film. And nothing japanese?! what about tetsuo the iron man?! or arkia, was event horizon on there? I guess its the nature of lists for them to be incomplete and have omissions

but you definately covered all the basics, well done

[zejarra]

Hi CSNC82 - Brilliantly put together - Got a good list there of films to watch - The music was carefully worked out and perfectly suited - Compliments to your skills in making this an entertaining watch.

[TheKungFool]

perfect top 5, and so glad to see someone else who appreciates "AI".

[jfeltes]

AI is good but should be lower on the list like maybe 34

Where is Enemy mine huh

You already had an alien movie and by contention you should have 2 star trek movies cuz those were better than any alien movie

Blade runner is good but the plot crawls like a turtle

2001 a space oddyssey is great but no one understands the fetus floating in space at the end. That part makes you go what?

Metropolis is my favorite they have found a lot of the missing footage but today we can't even view it entirely

[sammytav]

I'm glad I saw you put AI up there.

[MaMastoast]

I agree with most except 2001, I watched it and never got it, to me it was more like an acid trip gone wrong :S.. but that's just me.. fav one on my opinion is alien, it's so great :)

[chipaputalaguea]

My personal list:

1.- Akira

2.- Donnie Darko

3.- Minority Report

4.- A Scanner Darkly

5.- Scanners

[chipaputalaguea]

My personal list

1.- Akira -and its my favorite movie ever

2.- Donnie Darko

3.- A Scanner Darkly

4.- Alien

5.- Scanners

[schltz2]

Ok,so I've watched all of your sci-fi list and frankly,I'm disappointed.I respect the fact that this is your list,but come on.None of the "Star wars" films made the list?Are you serious?And why isn't there a single Godzilla or other dinosaur movie on the list?Many of those like"Jurassic Park"were groundbreaking sci-fi films.Also,why are only remakes of films such as"The Fly" ,"Body Snatchers"and"The Thing"listed?I'm sorry,but without the originals,those films wouldn't be here.

[iamzbacku]

Aliens had the whole theater jumping out of their seats. It was the second movie that scared the crap out of me. Jaws was the first. But if I watch Alien at ANYTIME I still jump.

Blade Runner is in fact a classic. And 2001 still puts you into space over 40 years later.

[biglee39]

Demon Seed was missed out!

[prezglick4]

Alien #1 baby!

[NameBranSolo]

Great list! I enjoyed all you videos but I have not seen most of the films before the 1970s. A I ? Really ? #4? well its your list.

A.I. seems to be missing something that 3,2, and 1 have but I'm not sure what it is.

Not that I am complaining but is there a reason you did not include Star Wars?

Its obvious that you have good taste in movies. Do you have a list for Horror Movies?

[Wandgold]

I´m missing: enemy mine (one of my favorites); TRON; event horizont; max headroom, alien nation, dark star, 13th floor, pitch black, tbc.

But a nice list. I even don´t know all these films.

thx

"contact" on place 38???? I can´t understand this. One of my favorite films

[HaloMarino13]

And AI is a too high here too.

[kobakommander]

I'm just waiting for some Hollywood hack to destroy the memory of METROPOLIS.

[DesignatedMember]

Really great list, your the best user on youtube for these kinds of things.

A few movies I would have added

Star Wars: People in the comments criticize it for not having a message but its still a milestone in sci-fi

Matrix: Deep and action packed, the perfect movie to end the milenium

Terminator 2: Dont think it as good as the original but still very good

Conquest of the planet of the apes: Good enough to be on the 50-45 spot

The Salute of the of the jugger: Personal favorite.

[WOWJBEOWULF]

Science fiction in movies is 83-years old; and science fiction in books goes back 200-years to the Frankenstein book, and 150-years for Jules Verne and his Moon mission. America has science fiction and always looking for the Next Big Thing.

[fermerwuvu]

nice list!

[Aido1973]

Well i watched all Parts and must say,

well Done Buddy, i appreciate ;)

Ofcourse the Music is awesome , too !

[111kanuni]

@Aido1973 SIKTIR GIT ULAN !!! you' re bitch. your mother suck my dick

[fermerwuvu]

@111kanuni haha turk:)

[darko789]

Nice list! Nice soundtrack also! Which tracks are you playing?

Thanks,

Tyn

[csnc82]

@darko789 The Music are 3 tracks from Anthony Rother's album "Hacker": "Model SM", "Datenbits" and "Protektor".

[raffofiction]

at first i read "sci-fi" and i immediately thought of star wars. but u r right, you listed sci-fi with content, with a message. it's a list with movies that have given us something to think of. star wars should definitely NOT be included on this list. i agree wuith your list.

[demonstrius3]

I agree with everything on your list but i think you should have added Westworld and the matrix to it. (if you didnt already?)

[ioncloud2012]

What about The Matrix?

[marvelswe]

Yes! Metropolis at the top! Man, this list is almost like mine! Not sure about AI though. I didn't rally like it, but that's just me. Awesome job!

[leewardstyle]

I was with this top 20 until "A.I.," which was abysmal. Not even the future earthlings in Act III could save this film.

[Isuckatpaintball2]

i hate how they just magically turn on gravity in these movies

[somewhere6]

My list would be different (but so what?) but I have to commend you for not lumping a blatantly commercial comic book like Star Wars in with serious films. Thank you for that much.

[datalal624]

I'm pleased to see "A.I." on this list, as well as "Metropolis" in the top spot. Overall, very good list. 4 stars! :)

[RomasantaMC]

Thank you so much for this list. I stumbled upon it by youtubing zardoc. What makes this list stand out the most you chose movies that showed deep moral conflictions as well as action flics. You are true purple. Ive seen half of these and im looking forward towards the others so far no arguements. Hopefully with lists like these all the great movies can live on.

[WAX1138]

Blade Runner is so overrated.

[javieryafo]

@WAX1138 Blade runner overrated? Get a new brain...

[somewhere6]

Agreed!!

[lorerax1]

I'm afraid I can't do that.

[andreiclawhammer]

Metropolis was a movie way , way ahead of its time, immagine if Fritz lang would have been around the 80s or 90s, just immagine what movies he could have made.

But ultimateluy this list failoe because there are no foreign movies( most of them better than US movies)

A few of them would be:

STALKER (1982)

Solaris (1972)

Kin-Dza-Dza (1986)

[csnc82]

@andreiclawhammer watch my international list...there you will find that jewels.

[pimpvandestraat]

couldn't agree more on the top 3

[jimmycrackcorn1981]

number 1 is from 1927.. it is automaticly a horrible movie. i can barely watch movies from the 70's... wtf is that 1 star and i going back and rating all your vids one star...

[kyokogodai]

I think your list, overall, is pretty good. There are some I would not have listed (Silent Running and AI being two). I am thrilled that you have Metropolis as your Number One!  That is such a fantastic film. Especially with a really good music score to go with it (which, depending on which release you have, could be anything). I have the Kino International VHS release, from the 90's, and that has awesome music!

[milovy]

Thank you for this series of videos. Although I don't agree with some of your choices (and have to admit, find the inclusion of A.I. in the top 5 to be odd)... you have presented a very credible list of Top 50 science fiction movies. BRAVO!

[davidbesir]

star wars???

[DEDASTARY200]

K-pax should be in top 20 at least in my opinion. Love the way list was made and the fact some very under rated movies are here, 5/5

[Sweetheart45745]

Great list...I'd differ about A.I. and Alien, though...Spielberg's Minority Report is a FAR better sci-fi movie, and Alien is more a horror film than sci-fi...

[will4ward]

A.I. was a miss because it relied on Deus Ex-Machina"

mean that the end required the intervention of the gods - a cheap trick used in badly written plays of the Greek era.

[will4ward]

Reply to Shahid:

Your point about synthethic beings taking over fro humans is well put.

I don't hate AI i just expected a more satisfying ending.

[themachman19691]

nice to see youve left star wars out.its in a lot of peoples top spots.its a great film but theres better ones.have to agree that a.i is a proper sci-fi movie although not to my tastes,but hey each to their own.love seeing metropolis at #1.a great choice.i have soylent green as my #1.thanks for your interesting post...

[EvenThisNameTaken]

Enjoyed the clips. Nice to see Colossus: The Forbin Project included!

[jakilnet]

tnx

[Prongs3]

nice picks, thanks for uploading

[Macnavor]

planet of the apes is one of my favorites themes!!!!!!

[sacredgeometry]

i disagree but then again its allways nice to see another persons perspective.

O.o....... wait i forgot this is the internet its custom to shout obscenities at people with differing opinions, ideas or beliefs.

Fuck you you cock riding monkey wangling peanut vendor.

ahhh that's better.

Peace

Brian

[soulman386]

I consider Alien to be a horror movie. The film maker doesn't explore any scientific ideas. The intent of the movie is to scare you. It's a monster movie.

I think 2001 is interesting but my problem with it is that it's not a whole movie. It's a series of vignettes. The characters and story don't hook you in on an emotional level.

[Xenoka911]

Read the book and you'll understand 2001. Don't read or watch the sequals however, but you'll enjoy it and it completes what you don't understand in the movie. I like it better because it connects you to the people more :D

[soulman386]

I understand the movie but I find it to be cold and detached.

[datalal624]

"2001" is supposed to feel cold and detached, so that you're not too caught up with emotion to think about the deeper meaning of what's going on in the film. Well, that's my view, anyway.

[shivabel]

"Solaris" (1972) by Andrej Tarkovskij is an absolute masterpiece in the history of science-fiction movies! Well.. you must add it in the first places of your list (according to me)...also "Stalker", another film by Tarkovskij

[michalburg]

this is exactly what i was thinking!

it's a very good list but solaris and stalker are a big miss..

i missed tetsuo, videodrome and maybe even some of the andy kaufman, but it's not as important.

for me it had a few sore thumbs, and what happened to part 1 and 2?

but all in all, a good list

[csnc82]

Thanks for the comment. I didn' include these soviet masterpieces because i'm planning something special: a list of world's best sci fi movies....

[michalburg]

great!

i can't wait

[Yamamanama]

You should put La Voyage dans la Lune (1902) on there to spite jimmycrackcorn.

[h0b0ch1c]

Enjoyed your list, and thanks for introducing me to the music Anthony Rother. ;)
