Re: Let's Name the Top 100 Sci-Fi/Fantasy Films Together

Post by flojocabron »

wow! this thread is almost to 100!

I was thinking during work about what movies to put and now I can only put one.

I was thinking about putting "Earth Girls Are Easy"

But I think Ron Howard's movie Cocoon is a more serious affair.

Awesome, you have a knack for picking some of the same movies I have in my head. I was deciding between that and Superman in my last post. Would you say it was better than X-Men First Class?

Or 150. Hell, we didn't even get to Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movies, the Hellboy movies, Schwarzenegger's Conan, The Last Starfighter and who knows what else.

Yeah, I know, I'm gonna hear it: "Why not Conan: The Barbarian?!" Because I enjoyed Conan: The Destroyer a whole lot more.

@Gamerforlife
That's a good question. I'm not sure. Before First Class came out, then I would have said X2, without a doubt, is the best X-Men movie. Magneto was such a bad ass in First Class and it had some great style. But X2 had such a great story, too. Both had incredible special effects and gave us cool mutants.

Really? This should fall under family, or at least comedy. It's not sci-fi.
