Where to start, well I could regale you with all my own
memories of going to the cinema and watching movies at home, but instead I’m
going to see what others are saying.
So, I did a Google search for "Best Scifi Movies" and ignored ones that were for specific years. I collected data from the following websites:
I listed each top ten and assigned points as follows; 1st
= 20, 2nd = 17, 3rd = 15 etc until 10th = 1.
I also took note of how many times a movie appeared on the
list, I’m ranking a movie that appears more often with more importance because
it’s my list!. Finally, I came up with the
following top 11:
|
Title

I’m going to try and watch these movies again during the
year and write reviews on them all. From memory, the ones clearly sticking out
are Children of Men & The Matrix. I’d love to see the Matrix on big screen
as it never got a nationwide cinema release in Ireland.
Lots done, lots more to do!
