Inception
After this film I can not imagine what Christopher Nolan will come up with next. I thought maybe he would begin sliding after his mind-boggling The Dark Knight, but Inception does not fall flat. It is incredibly fast paced as well as mind bending all the way through. So much action in different realities at the same time, I was solemnly worn out after it was all bygone.

The Matrix
The classic! This may always be one of my top five movies. I’ve seen it at least ten times and it never gets boring, it has such a smooth, cool feel to it. I find myself just looking up the fight scene among Neo and Morpheus on YouTube over and over again.

Star Wars (original trilogy)
Star Wars no doubt holds a memorable place in history with the sci-fi genre. I only have the original trilogy on here since I think those three movies really spent plenty of time bettering story and mood, special effects were not the main goal.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece where the computer (HAL) starts to take on human characteristics is one that will be around forever and will constantly be at the top of sci-fi lists, no matter how many competitors come along.

Blade Runner
And surely we get Blade Runner, Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford’s twisted vision of the future. 28 years later it is still a vision of what a real sci-fi film is all about.

Back to the Future
Not quite the same feel as the other movies on this list, but nonetheless sci-fi, and nonetheless one of my favorites of all time. After seeing this I truly wanted Michael J. Fox’s jacket, and I wanted to take up skateboarding. This film has 97% on Rottentomatoes.com, what jerk gave this film a bad rating?
