SF/Fantasy Movie Top10

There's a call for votes in the Dutch newsgroup nl.kunst.sf+fantasy for the SF and fantasy movie top 50. Here''s my top 10 :

  1. LOTR : Fellowship Of The Ring
  2. Aliens
  3. Blade Runner
  4. The Matrix
  5. Terminator
  6. The 5th Element
  7. Merlin
  8. Dune
  9. Star Wars : The Empire Strikes Back
  10. The Hidden

Predator and Akira just fell out the top10. Shame, but it was a difficult choice...

I took the liberty of looking at the top250 of imdb.com, and producing its top10 of SF/F movies :

  1. LOTR : The Fellowship of the Ring
  2. Star Wars : A New Hope
  3. LOTR: The Two Towers
  4. Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
  5. The Matrix
  6. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
  7. Wizard of Oz
  8. 2001: A Space Odyssey
  9. Alien
  10. Blade Runner

I took some liberty in chosing and dropping certain movies : Raiders of the Lost Ark is not a real SF/F movie, but rather an adventure action movie. Monty Pythnon, and Wizard of Oz are IMHO fantasy movies (there are wizards ;)

Next 5 SF/F movies are : Aliens, Terminator 2, Shrek, SW : Return of the Jedi and Terminator.
