How many of IMDB's Top 50 SF movies have you seen?

How many of IMDB\'s Top 50 SF movies have you seen?

I'm curious about how much SF celluloid the people on this board have seen, and also if there are some movies that everyone has seen, or some that no one has seen. So I was wondering if those who are interested could indicate which of the movies in the IMDB's Top 50 SF films you've seen. Whoever's seen the most gets rewarded with bragging rights.

Because the list gets updated everyday, as more IMDB users submit ratings, lets just go by today's list (5/25/2003):

2 Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

Special request about posting to this thread: While comments about why this particular ranking is good or bad, and why particular movies should or should not be included, or counted as Sci-fi, or should be ranked higher or lower, are welcome, I'd ask that when you make your first posting to this thread, you give your list of which of these you've seen.

Re: How many of IMDB\'s Top 50 SF movies have you seen?

I think it would be easier for me to list the movies I haven't seen, which would include:

32 Delicatessen (1991)
36 Cité des enfants perdus, La (The City of Lost Children)(1995)
48 Man in the White Suit, The (1951)
50 On the Beach (1959)

Which would put me at 46.

As far as the list goes, I've always been impressed with IMDB's ratings... just look at their top 50 movies of all time (regardless of genre)...

I don't think you can argue about the movies on that list, although you probably could argue about the ranking of those films... all in all, it would seem that the voters have pretty good taste.

4 Matrix, The (1999)
7 Alien (1979)
10 Blade Runner (1982)
11 Aliens (1986)

That's only 20 which is quite pathetic isn't it?

Re: How many of IMDB\'s Top 50 SF movies have you s

Star Wars (1977)
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Matrix, The (1999)
Clockwork Orange, A (1971)
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

I left out those I *think* I may have seen many years ago but don't remember at all (Frankenstein, the original Planet of the Apes ... I'm sort of sure I saw them at some point but have no conscious recollection of them) and also those I've only seen in part (2001: A Space Odyssey).

I'm not much of a filmed or Western scifi fan ... although there are a couple of other things in that list I'd like to see eventually. I only saw Matrix (the first movie, that is) a couple of weeks ago, and Star Wars and A Clockwork Orange last year.
