Just trying to get gauge of what your opinion is of a superior movie...what sci fi movie do you find outstanding?
Maybe therein lies the problem, I´m not a big fan of the genre.
I think A Clockwork Orange a superior movie/outstanding sci-fi movie.

I think you dont necessarily have to be a huge fan of scifi to enjoy the movie, but it helps. I was raised with them, and I thoroughly enjoyed this film, especially the second viewing. Could it have been made better? Absolutely. Viewing the huge thread about interstellar, and this one, there are tons of different opinions on what it should have been, but to me, Nolan illustrated it perfectly. The score was outstanding. The acting in a general sense, with what they were given, was good. Was it a masterpiece? No. But he barely missed.

I think more dystopian future, than anything else. I think it is a pretty big stretch to classify it as science fiction at all.
I think that either space travel and/or significantly advanced and futuristic technology are de facto requirements for the genre - I mean, time travel pieces certainly can be, because of the nature of how they get back there (Back to the Future being a notable example) - but that's almost a sub-genre itself. However, I concede that IMDB does agree with you, tagging A Clockwork Orange sci fi, along with other less obvious titles like Eternal Sunshine and Brazil (which is similar to 1984, thematically, and Clockwork, thematically and stylistically).

I really don't see how you can do a comparison on the two films. While ACO is clearly sci fi, it's also pretty loosely sci fi, and feasibly could take place in our world, although that would greatly screw up the tone of the film.
