I agree. This list is nonsense, even considering that everybody has their own subjective opinions.Quote:

To be honest i dont know if this list is supposed to order by popularity or quality, which normally are two very different things. What i know is that it fails at either.
Have seen most on the list and was surprised of a few that were included . Think thats why I keep using Demoniod as my choice for my Sci - Fi fix , its easy to find some of the old classics .
LOST (2004-Present)
Have they forgot to mention ''US-Only'' in the title ? :\Quote:
The Top 25 Sci-Fi Movies & TV From The Past 25 Years
Where is Kin-dza-dza ? not a single cronenberg's film ? animated films like AKIRA .?
Rely yourself on acclamed films study books insteed of those lists.
That list is not horrible but it needs tweaking.
The only Star Wars film I could include is Return Of Jedi since the second trilogy sucked and all the others were before '83. Clone Wars?:dry: It was a decent cartoon but not all that.
Where the hell are Babylon 5, Farscape, and Stargate SG-1? Those are no-brainers. Not many sci-fi shows go 10 seasons (SG-1).
Here is a tweaked list (ignore the rankings).
25. V: THE MINISERIES (1983)
24. Stargate SG-1
23. DOCTOR WHO (1963-Present)
22. QUANTUM LEAP (1989-1993)
21. FUTURAMA (1999-2003)
20. STAR WARS: Return Of The Jedi
19. STARSHIP TROOPERS (1997)
18. HEROES (2006-Present)
17. Babylon 5
16. TOTAL RECALL (1990)
15. FIREFLY/SERENITY (2002/2005)
14. Farscape
13. THE TERMINATOR/ TERMINATOR 2 (1984 /1991)
12. BACK TO THE FUTURE Trilogy
11. LOST (2004-Present)
10. THE THING (1982)
9. ALIENS (1986)
8. STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION (1987-1994)
7. E.T. (1982)
6. BRAZIL (1985)
5. STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN (1982)
4. THE X-FILES (1993-2002)
3. BLADE RUNNER (1982)
2. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2003-Present)
1. THE MATRIX (1999)
I liked others that were canceled early like
Space Above and Beyond
Earth 2
Dark Skies (that show had bad timing, NBC came out with it to go up against X-Files)
John Doe
Firefly
What Cronenberg film? Existenz?Quote:

Heroes is damn good to be included and only have gone 1 season so far.
I forgot all about Escape From New York and I always thought there should have been a sequel to The Thing. Hollywood would probably fuck it all up.
Oh fuck I must include a movie that many of you probably have missed....
Predator
I can watch it right now and it still be great.
I would have included Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back but they are too early.
