	I was pleasantly surprised by the number one answer on this list. I applaud them for not going with a clichéd pick.

	It's embarrassing how many of these I missed that I've seen. Some of them are even among my favorite movies of all time.

	noon:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 04:34 GMT	10 points
	It's not accepting "Logan's Run" as an answer. Tons of great movies on this list btw.

	The_Shadow:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 04:34 GMT	1 point
	I'm dismayed at some of the ones that made the list. And they probably made the list before District 9 came out.

	Captain:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 04:39 GMT	40 points
	no spaceballs?

	springmom:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 04:39 GMT	3 points
	Pleased to see some of my favorites on here - especially the spoofs!

	Kazbar:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 04:39 GMT	6 points
	I typed in Logan's Run, was surprised to see it not an answer, then when the quiz finished, it was an answer. Why must Sporcle lie to me? :(

Hmm, wider definition of "science fiction" than I'd expected. Great quiz though. And yeah, something's wrong with "Logan's Run."

	Rhys:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 04:42 GMT	-1 points
	I watched RoboCop for the first time the other day, and I'm shocked it is in the top 1000 let alone the top 100.

	For having TRANCERS as an answer, this is now my Favourite Quiz Ever. Dry hair is for squids!

	katesutton:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 04:57 GMT	5 points
	I saw 1902 and tried "La Voyage Dans La Lune" and was very confused since it didn't work. Didn't know the English title. I also didn't guess "La Jetee" since it's a short and not a feature. Otherwise I would have guessed it when I came up with 12 Monkeys.

	SowCrates:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 04:58 GMT	5 points
	Wow, this is one of those quizzes where I'm going to have to sleep then do it tomorrow. I tested the range of this quiz by guessing Galaxy Quest, seeing that comedies count. i then tested Mars Attacks, seeing that atrocious excuses for movies do not count. That was reassuring. With a list of 100 movies to try and guess, I needed to know that I could name sci-fi movies that DIDNT make the list. See you in 12 or so hours, sporcle

	steeltown:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:02 GMT	10 points
	I really enjoy the lighter side of sci-fi, so I was happy to see quite a few of the spoofs, too, but no Men in Black? And, by God, no Buckaroo Banzai!!! What do you say to that, John Smallberries?

	cigarette:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:06 GMT	20 points
	Yeah, I think the inclusion of Galaxy Quest and the shafting of Men in Black, Mars Attacks and Spaceballs is a travesty.

	maniacalclown:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:10 GMT	2 points
	I knew MST3K: The Movie had chosen a more-accessible film to appeal to a wider-audience, but I had no idea someone would consider it the 44th best science fiction movie ever made. Of course, I tried it anyway and was pleasantly surprised.

	danzam:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:11 GMT	-1 points
	Amen, no Men in Black sucks big time. I enjoy sci fi movies, but for this quiz i was just racking my brain attempting to think of what movies have a massive nerd following. Sorry.

	@ AtomicIce: and that's what makes it a fun (challenging, interesting) quiz, in the view of some Sporcle users! You have to use most of the 15 minutes to think about the answers.

	GJK:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:24 GMT	7 points
	I am shocked--shocked, I tell you--that Santa Claus Conquers the Martians didn't make this list.

	Eliot:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:27 GMT	-1 points
	@ TotalSciFiOnline: Sleeper is a MUCH better movie than Tron and a lot of other movies that rank above it!! I'm glad to see Sleeper on the list, but when it comes to ranking films, some of these films should be way higher or way lower.

	They Live???? Anyone??

	MechTimber:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:32 GMT	3 points
	Awesome that Alphaville made the list

	notsobaldbull:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:32 GMT	16 points
	Is it just me or is Predator criminllay underrated? GET BACK TO THE CHOPPA!!

	Stairway:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:36 GMT	2 points
	I thought of Event Horizon when mentally scanning some scifi movies I'd seen but refused to associate it with anything that has a positive word in the sentence.

	Eliot:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:36 GMT	3 points
	Did anyone else come up with an answer or 2 by mentally running through the lyrics of the song "Science Fiction Double Feature"?

	big e:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:37 GMT	-3 points
	no lost in Space?

	Hard to believe Star Wars was not number one.

	alexielrieth:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:45 GMT	4 points
	RE Doug: Invasion of the body snatchers is on the list twice because one is a remake. Check the years.

	spartacat:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:48 GMT	0 points
	no Weird Science either. this list is a travesty

	zalagreensbury:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:51 GMT	0 points
	I don't see the huge hype around 'Blade Runner' yes, it was a great movie if not a bit cliche and lacking in parts I mean...the whole Harrison Ford and Sean Yong cop out romance...like really, just a sloppy sappy ending thrown in to appease the masses spare me. I think 'Alien' was the greatest movie maybe cause I'm a huge lover of movies where women kick a lot of ass but it was a perfect well thoughtout film.

	deej:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:51 GMT	12 points
	no "battlefield earth?" i kid, i kid...

	Platypus222:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:52 GMT	0 points
	I don't like their list very much at all (Star Trek 2, 6, and 11, but no 8?), but it's a good quiz. I do like that they included Primer, but their ordering is crazy. Also, should "La Jetée" really count as a movie? It was completely still pictures, if I remember correctly. Also, I'm very glad to see Galaxy Quest on here.

	tscheno2:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 05:52 GMT	-3 points
	Where's "Paycheck"?

	Brady:	Sep 9th, 2009 at 06:04 GMT	11 points
	How on Earth is Cocoon above Predator?!?! How!?!?
