I understand the original Russian version was a classic, but avoid the American remake. I saw it a couple of years ago, and.... I barely remember it. It didn't register.

Hardly a crappy movie, this is considered a Sci-Fi classic (as attested to by the original list). I greatly enjoyed this movie when I was a kid, and even faithfully watched the "Logan's Run" TV series when it hit the airwaves (yes, there was a Logan's Run TV show).

Interestingly, the "100 SF Movies" list mentioned "Alien" and "Alien 3," but didn't mention "Aliens," which was a very cool action flick, and Alien 3 was a downer.

I'm glad to see "Space Cruiser Yamato" getting some love, since the original TV series was my first anime addiction! It was severely ruined in its translation to "Star Blazers" here in the US.

I'm surprised the original "War of the Worlds" or "King Kong" wasn't mentioned. And I thought Superman I was better than Superman II (which was better than all the other sequels combined). And where's "Forbidden Planet," which was heavily influential towards "Star Trek." (It very nearly IS a Star Trek episode!)

It's cool to see the original "Planet of the Apes" and "Westworld" getting some love, considering that these movies (as well as "Logan's Run") were my favorite "pre-Star Wars" SF movies. These three still hold up pretty well!

I remember "Scanners" being really good, with the theater audience screaming at the final "scanner" duel! It was really freaky! (It probably doesn't hold up now.) But I still recommend it if you can find it.

A few movies included on the list that I thought were crap: "The One," "Lifeforce," "Stargate." And not crap, but not that great: "Dark City" and "The Fifth Element."

I could go on and on.... overall, a pretty good list. I've seen most of them.

P.S. the pre-release buzz on the upcoming "Star Trek" movie is phenomenal! I'm psyched for this one!
