Great twist at the end.

0:59 Coherence is actually one of my favourite movies. I don't know what to make about it being hard to understand as I found it a fairly simple Sci-if concept. The natural dialogue they used also made it quite refreshing to watch. I'm not sure how the meteor passing did this, but it caused a separate timeline to appear in theirs. This idea is simplified by saying that every choice you make creates a separate reality. In one reality you choose to move to another country, while in another you stay where you are. Really though it seemed to be governed more by probability than choice.

The thirteenth Floor was esentially the Matrix plot well before then. Also, Cit yof Lost Children and Dark City were awesome movies.

Which is the whole point, of course. Surveillance technology, brain-twisting designer drugs, and loss of human individuality - it's classic Phllip K. Dick.

Rook3v All of those movies, except being futuristic depictions of a society (except Dr Strangelove), have nothing in common with Soylent Green.

I never thought that the movie was too long or boring or anything, it was fascinating for me to watch what people back then thought how the future was going to look. (I always love movies like that) unnecessary spectacle establishment shots? Like what XD The budget was very low, the sets were primitive and the director showed the least amount of fancy futuristic buildings as possible, since the budget was low.

Seen all but that first one about the comet and the Spanish one on this list. Actually have many of these on VHS and DVD in our collection. But yeah, thinking that Generation-X'ers have more of a chance to have seen these films than millennials. Kind of wish that "S1MONE" had made the list. I thought that that was a pretty cool movie (yet no one I've ever spoken to about it has ever heard of it). ... But then, I also liked "The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra" and I doubt that all that many folks have seen *that* movie, either. :)

Virtually every science fiction film about a future where a decadent ruling class wants to kill off its workers and replace them with machines like say Blade Runner or the television series Caprica is essentially a remake of Metropolis. It was after all the first major science fiction film. A Boy and His Dog was a pretty sick movie I hope never gets remade, Feeding your girlfriend to a talking dog is an ending only a Gay serial killer would enjoy or consider a cool idea.

What about Flash Gordon. Ridiculously excellent.

Flash Gordon is an excellent action movie, it's not good Sci-Fi. There is _very little_ about it which makes you stop and think about the future of technology, or the current state and potential misconception of our contemporary society. It's the Star Trek vs. Star Wars argument. Star Wars is awesome, but it's still just space cowboys, where Star Trek is a bit more hit and miss, but when it hits the grey matter, it hits hard and makes you question so much about your own life, and social environment. Event the futuristic technology in Star Wars is mystified to the extent that it may as well be magic. (some of which is corrected if you read the excellent off-cute novels, but still) Why do lasers move slower than light in Star Wars? What is a Lightsabre made out of, and how does it hold it's shape. (an energised crystal, and "the Force energy of it's wielder" if you read the side novels ... but that doesn't explain how non-Force-sensitives manage to use the sabres in the films) Why is there friction in space? etc. etc. etc. The technology in Star Trek is meticulously researched and theoretically possible. Much of it to the extent that unimaginable technology used in the show when it first aired is common place technology _today_, from hand-held wireless voice communicators (mobile phones) to the Tricorder technology which can analyse internal injuries without X-Rays or invasive surgery. (though we still don't have hand-held versions of those, they were unimagined at the time) Even complete fantasy substances which fill over the "we just don't know yet" parts have highly defined properties, such as Dilitium Crystals. There's no such thing, but we know what the fictional premise is. No, Flash Gordon has a place on a list of great films, but it's not _this_ list of great films.

And, if you don't mind, I'd add 2 more movies which are not on this list, but are worth watching: THX 1138 (1971) and Silent Running (1972) Maybe Hardware (1990) too, but this movie is kinda... Weird.

Cast consists of Lemmy from Motörhead (RIP) as a water-taxi-driver, minor role, some guy from Fields of the Nephelim and Iggy Pop as the voice from the Radio and the Soundtrack is classic, featuring Public Image Ltd. (ex-Sex-Pistols Johnny Rotten), Ministry and again Iggy Pop. The movie is (or was) available on Blu-ray for a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Another is where the farmer, played by Ralph Waite, apologizes to a band of squatters while one of them sneaks up behind him and blows him away with a shotgun, is another.

Forbidden Planet is one of the best sci-fi movies ever. Some of the themes and concepts in the movie are mind blowing, even by today's standards. And the special effects still hold up pretty well today.

Loved Westworld and Soylent Green. The legendary actor, Edward G. Robinson, last movie was Soylent Green. He passed away not long after the movie completed filming. They live should have made the list and not a honorable mention.
