Okay, so as a big fan of great Sci-Fi movies I've been thinking lately on what are my top 10 favourite? Recently there has been some truly exellent sci-fi hitting our screens, from the likes of Inception to Avatar. So here goes my list:

1) Bladerunner: Ridley Scott's masterpiece was a disaster at the time but is now hailed as one of the genres finest
2) The Empire Strikes Back: The best sequel and Star Wars film of all time!
3) Alien: The film that made Ridley Scott, the original and best in the series
4) Metropolis: Friz Lang's 1920's masterpiece broke the mould and set a new standard in sci-fi and film making.
5) Inception: Christopher Nolan is a genius.
6) District 9: Neil Blomkamp's South-African set alien invasion/gangster slum movie had me hooked
7) Star Wars: A New Hope: George Lucas' hit sci-fi francise started out with one of the biggest films of the 70's.
8) The Man Who Fell To Earth: David Bowie's cult space oddity under the supreme direction of Nicholas Roeg is an aquired tast but one that I love.
9) Rise of the Planet of the Apes: A truly great re-make/re-boot, has you rooting for the Apes!
10) Avatar: James Cameron's hugely expensive sci-fi extravaganzer plays out a bit like Dances With Wolves meets Aliens, simply stunning on the big screen in 3D.

So there's my thoughts on the best. What's yours?

We'll all find out generally soon - there's a forum list going up shortly

A couple of yours are in my top 10, another couple lower down. 3 of them I think are terrible - the SW and Avatar. Inception's OK, ROTPOA's OK. Man Who Fell depends on my mood, but it's an interesting choice.

I think Bladerunner is a good bet for the forum no 1 too

Cool, I look forward to seeing your list

.
I love Avatar and Star Wars so I stand by my opinion on those and The Man Who Fell To Earth is one of my favourite films of all time, a true cult marmite classic!
Aliens was almost in there but I decided on the first one as it's my fav in the series. I'm sure there's probably a few more that have slipped my mind.
