Star Wars is no longer the most popular science fiction film ever made, at least according to a recent poll conducted by British science fiction magazine SFX. Serenity. A mildly successful, mid-budget sci-fi Western based on a TV show that was cancelled after a dozen or so episodes in 2002 is now the preferred SF flick of Brit fandom? However it should be noted that SFX's poll only had about 3,000 respondents, and they put some rather suspicious candidates into the Top Ten finalists. (Back to the Future? Seriously?) Below is SFX's final top ten, in order.
- Serenity
- Star Wars
- Blade Runner
- Planet of the Apes
- The Matrix
- Alien
- Forbidden Planet
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- The Terminator
- Back to the Future
Now if your so inclined - you can go to Geekend's blog and they have the exact same list up with selectors, so you can cast your vote for best SF movie....
I would be interested also in what readers have to say. I made my selection and was gratified to see it place higher up than SFX's poll....(NO!! it wasn't Star Wars! But I did like the first one! I loved Lea's tight buns!)

Hey, where's 'The Day The Earth Stood Still'???
You know that is a good question. I guess the brits don't count that amongst the best SF movies. But oh yeah, that movie should be there.
