Best sci-fi movies of all time

I was lucky enough to get to see Interstellar last night at a special screening on a huge screen and it reminded me just how beautiful it is. For me that and Contact are the best ones I’ve ever seen. Controversial opinion but I also saw 2001:A Space Odyssey at the same venue a few weeks back and didn’t rate it at all. I love Kubrick’s films but that was just a whole load of meh.

What are your fave sci-fi movies? Special mentions for LifeForce, Event Horizon and the Fifth Element.

Not seeing a lot of love for Contact which is clearly the best.

Contact is great, especially the early stages. I know a lot of people criticise the "reveal" but I always say it was going to be difficult to live up to so interesting a premise.

Might have been the first film in which I saw Matt McConaughey as well.

The first 2 Cloverfield movies are good. Remember seeing the first Cloverfield at the cinema, was a great experience.

I'm sure I've said this before in a similar thread, but I always think the 2002 adaptation of The Time Machine, with Guy Pearce and Samantha Mumba, is very underrated.

I love its depictions of the far-distant future, and of course it's a great story.

28% on Rotten Tomatoes is an absolute travesty!

Original was better, and the book even better than that, but I hear you, it’s not a bad movie at all.

I remembered fondly and then tried to watch it again. It was kinda bad and a snooze fest.

Is Minority Report classed as sci-fi?

If so, this is one of my favourites.
