Shane Wood

I'll also throw out the TV miniseries "V" from 1983.

Shane Wood

I suggest The Secret of NIMH from 1982, Ice Pirates from 1984, and Beastmaster (fantasy, not sci-fi) from 1982.

Tyler Foster

Brazil is never going to win, but it ought to.

Neal Romanek

Of course!

Neal Romanek

Oh, yeah. Logans Run is one of the great 70's scifi dystopia classics. The three must-sees are Rollerball, Soylent Green and Logan's Run.

Portis

happy to see Minority Report in the lead!

Turtle

Logan's Run

christopher brown

Star Trek 2 the Wrath of Khan (1982)

PIG

Holy fuck. I didn’t know Hurt died. Wow. Damn it.

Neal Romanek

Well, it will be hard to top that.

TBR Schmitt

We have seen Edge of Tomorrow, Children of Men, District 9 and Annihilation was a Patreon Exclusive back when we did those :) -Sam

TBR Schmitt

We have seen Inception, Interstellar and The Fifth Element! The rest are on our list :) -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Children of Men is in my top three movies of all time! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

We have seen Edge of Tomorrow! Loved it! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Yes, we have seen it! -Sam

Neal Romanek

I haven't seen Interstellar on any of your scifi lists. I'm assuming you've seen it?

Neal Romanek

Yes! Children Of Men! Does that count as sci-fi? That should definitely be on the list.

MIke

Goin Dark City for William Hurt!!! RIP!!

PIG

Personally I love the original intro since I saw this in theaters but I completely understand why the director and fans want the cut. I still think that even with the original you’re clueless on what the hell is happening.

Jim Tatro

All of these are great but Body Snatchers has one of the best endings ever and Jeff Goldblum!!!!!! C’mon now!👍

Drzergberg

You have to watch Dark City Directors cut. The original basically tells the story with an opening monologue that the director did not want in the movie.

Donna Castellano

I think the Burton version had potential. I liked a lot of elements and performances. Wahlberg was not right for that lead. Estella Warren at her hottest but, man, she had nothing to work with.

Donna Castellano

Shan Watches Movies and James Vs Cinema reacted to it. I saw Shan's full length and if was so fun to watch him discover that film.

Donna Castellano

Oh man. Please eventually watch Gattaca. I love seeing reactors get blown away by such a sleeper film. Shan Watches Movies made me happy when he said it was a near perfect movie.

Alex

heh. If they do watch one I would prefer it was the original, FWIW.

windyWin

directors cut is better

Mitchell Smilie

I say this in a friendly manner: you're the first person I've come into contact with that believes the Burton PotA is good.

Andrew Roach

Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise is fantastic. Also Dark City has a directors cut which I what I have, not sure which is better lol.

Drzergberg

Children of Men needs to be on this list. It's the best Sci-fi movie in the last 20 years. I voted for Brazil since it's so freaking weird I'd love to see how you react to it.

Domino

Her (2013) I will never stop recommending it! 😝 Also... Inception (2010) Interstellar (2014) Donnie Darko (2001) The Fifth Element (1997) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) It also counts as a comedy though.

Jay

I would suggest Equilibrium (2002) to the list. A very underrated film.

MIke

i agree both Dark City and Gattaca are where its at!

MIke

all good suggestions!

JayWantsACat

Dark City is amazing (i have it on DVD lul and absolutely love it) but I voted for Gattaca because it almost never gets the love and discourse it deserves. Not that Dark City does either but there was some talk about The Matrix maybe taking some 'inspiration' from it, IIRC. So it got some love. But Gattaca almost never gets brought up, which is sad. Because it really is a great film.

Jen Barnes

Gattica is a hidden gem.

Alex

Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Planet of the Apes are must watches win/lose.. The remake with Mark Wahlberg is also good.

TGrimace

Watching you react to the original Planet of the Apes would be amazing!

mikethemotormouth

Also want to see A Scanner Darkly added to this poll sometime, another Philip K. Dick adaptation.

mikethemotormouth

That's the one I voted for. And totally agreed, every one of these deserves a watch. Also want to see Stargate added to this poll sometime. And A Scanner Darkly, another Philip K. Dick adaptation.

iliketostayhome

Dark City is awesome. Minority report is okay... Be a better short story.

BD Williams

Minority Report is so good. One of my favorite Sci-Fi films of the 21st century along with Arrival, Children of Men and Inception.

Mr. Writhms

Phillip K. Dick and Steven Spielberg? Yes, please. Err... that's "Minority Report". 😁

Logan Kerlee

I'm stuck between two movies for my vote! Both Gattaca and Planet of the Apes are films that I'd love to watch a reaction to but I can only vote for one. Bummer dude!

Logan Kerlee

Which one was it? There are four that I haven't seen - Brazil, Cube, Dark City and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Miles E Coburn

"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978) is a terrific movie. As is the original from 1956. My preference from the list, though, is the original "Planet of the Apes", from 1968.
