1. Wrath of Khan ("I'll chase him round the moons of Nivea and round the Antares maelstrom and round perdition's flames before I give him up!")

2. Dune (Sci-Fi Channel) ("Never get more popular than the Boss - unless you intend to sack him!")

3. Planet of the Apes (original) ("Somehow... it makes you look less intelligent.")

I have a list of 8 or 9 favorite sci-fi movies and it's hard to put them in any kind of order, but here goes :

1) Star Wars IV (the one that got me hooked on the whole genre)
2) Alien I (everything just looks so cool)
3) Terminator I (excellent story).

Oh yeah! That's a great one! I do prefer the shorter Version, though. The one without quite all the post-production touch-up.

Really, honestly, I can't say I find the whole movie all that captivating. But all the dialog from the original, student short part of the film is stunning.

I do not do Favorites. Just not into that kind of commitment. But some that stick in my mind are

Blade Runner (for the genre-founding visuals!)
Event Horizon (nice decompression!)
Aliens (what a set, what props, what a cast, what a ride!)

Top three only? Ok, here goes..

1) Star Wars (AKA: A New Hope)
2) Blade Runner (Original with Harrison Ford Naration. Impossible to find since the Director's Cut came out.)
3) The Abyss

But I can't just leave it there, here are some of my other 'Favorite Sci-Fi' films..

Forbiden Planet, War of the Worlds, Silent Running, Robinson Carruso on Mars, Planet of the Apes (original), The Fifth Element, Eneny Mine, Escape from New York, Stargate, Dune (yes, I liked the original movie.), Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan, Soldier,.. and all of the other Star Wars movies.

..and this is my 'Short List'

Cheers!

Silent Running was good. A bit preachy, but Sci-Fi that people invest something in tends to get that way.

Definitely the best use of midgets in boxes.

Original Blade Runner is better, but the 'director's cut' is still worthwhile if you haven't seen the original and can't get a hold of it.
