top 5 sci-fi

for many reasons, including that godfrey and i were talking about it, to re-kickstart conversation here and because this topic will slightly annoy brad, i ask you for your top 5 favorite sci-fi films of all time.  i’m ruling out fantasy and sci-fi/horror.  here are mine:

1)  star wars (i include all 3 films of the original trilogy for the sake of being allowed to add other franchises)

2)  alien - scared the crap out of me, a woman in the lead/hero role (!?) i saw it for the first time when i was 14

3)  blade runner - haven’t seen all of the alternate endings, but abolutely love this movie

4)  the matrix

5)  terminator - again, scared the crap out of me at 14ish

honorable mentions: dune (original with sting and kyle maclachlan - although the sci-fi channel remake was awesome), the newest star trek (i leave it out of my top 5 only because i’ve just seen it once), brazil, primer, serenity, the day the earth stood still (original)
