I'm done now, and will stop editing my list. This is pretty challenging. A Sci-Fi list all by itself would've been hard enough, but to add comedy on top of it, made it very tricky. I realized last night how the sci-fi genre is just getting broader and broader. I put in Clash of the Titans because, well Harryhausen just needed to be on the list. Then I jumped to Conan the Barbarian and well, my list just exploded.
Glad you enjoyed it. I have something bigger in mind overall, but we'll see how the next couple of polls go.

Personally, I think Science Fiction lists should be limited to topics strictly dealing with at least three of the following as main characters or settings (or in some way a major part of the plot): space, aliens, time travel/parallel worlds, the future, technology, androids, or superhuman abilities. However, we left the door wide open for much more to come in and, well...they did. Eternal Sunshine is not a Science Fiction movie (it is an awesome movie though).
Science Fiction is so much more than just those things though.

My judging was based on overall movie production quality, lasting impact, timelessness, best representation of a particular genre/director/actor, and in some cases just plain nerdiness. It would be pretty easy to skew the results of the list to put at the top of my lists movies that I know I like, and want to see on the top 100, however, they may not be chosen by anyone else. Yet, I tried not to do that, and assumed that we were really getting a representative grouping; however, we aren't.
I do the same. I consider three things first: innovation, intent and impact. Then I think about quality of writing/acting/cinematography and editing. Then my general taste for the film.

All that being said...Freauxen thanks for all the effort you're putting into doing this. If nothing else, I had fun making my lists.
You are very welcome. Two goals of the list: having fun and maybe influencing people to try other films.

I would also, like to suggest a future list(s):
Horror
Fantasy
It would also be an interesting, yet lame/boring/almost gay thing to do to see what everyone would choose if they had to make a list on the best period piece/dramatic/chick flick type of films out there.
Prison movies might also be a good subject.
I will consider these in the future. Don't worry more lists to come, and my big idea, which I might reveal after this list.

Next I say we do top sports movies and war movies. What do you think?
