re: Please list your top 3 Sci-Fi films (hidden gems preferred)

Villaneuve’s Dune Pt 1 was pretty awesome

Star Trek II, VI, & First Contact

Inception

One of the biggest pieces of shite ever made... And I like pretentious, self-important films sometimes. But Tarkovsky's Solaris may be the biggest piece of shot of them all.

Tarkovsky's would have been just as happy just filming a dude at his cabin for 3 hrs. Great cinematographer... Terrible storyteller. Perhaps the most pretentious ever.

Nobody even gives a shite enough to take it down. It's basically a high school production with really great camera work.

How is that sci fi?

Children of men

European immigration propaganda.

How about Millennium?

Tesla's science/output plays quite a major role

Harlock: Space Pirate
The Empire Strikes Back
The Matrix(1st one)

Timecrimes
Equilibrium
Primer

I am evidently so in the minority with this but I would never have classified The Prestige as sch-fi....still a great fcking movie though.

Repo Man (1984)

John Wayne scene....

1. Repo Man (1984)
