I have a list of 8 or 9 favorite sci-fi movies and it's hard to put them in any kind of order, but here goes :

1) Star Wars IV (the one that got me hooked on the whole genre)
2) Alien I (everything just looks so cool)
3) Terminator I (excellent story).

Oh yeah! That's a great one! I do prefer the shorter Version, though. The one without quite all the post-production touch-up.

Really, honestly, I can't say I find the whole movie all that captivating. But all the dialog from the original, student short part of the film is stunning.

I do not do Favorites. Just not into that kind of commitment. But some that stick in my mind are

Blade Runner (for the genre-founding visuals!)
Event Horizon (nice decompression!)
Aliens (what a set, what props, what a cast, what a ride!)

Top three only? Ok, here goes..

1) Star Wars (AKA: A New Hope)
2) Blade Runner (Original with Harrison Ford Naration. Impossible to find since the Director's Cut came out.)
3) The Abyss

But I can't just leave it there, here are some of my other 'Favorite Sci-Fi' films..

Forbiden Planet, War of the Worlds, Silent Running, Robinson Carruso on Mars, Planet of the Apes (original), The Fifth Element, Eneny Mine, Escape from New York, Stargate, Dune (yes, I liked the original movie.), Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, Soldier,.. and all of the other Star Wars movies.

..and this is my 'Short List'
