From this list I have to go with Sunshine, a little gem that I don't think gets enough love. Equilibrium is also a lot of fun. Not from the list, I agree that "Primer" was very good as was 2009's Moon.

what no Avatar (no... i don't think it is that good of a movie but it is one of the most important sc/fi movies of the 00s, even if some don't like it, it have shown technologicaly a new way to pressent a movie) graphicly it is one of the best movies i have seen, storyways it is just bland but it is enough interesting seens to keep me interested, but the clishees are so think i get sick.

The six I've seen I can rate like this: Children of Men >> Inception > District 9 >>>> Donnie Darko > Equilibrium > V for Vendetta. I'll have to think if I remember something that's not in the poll, before I vote.

Other (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) should be your clear winner, I believe (probably mine too), although it depends how much sci-fi over romance and fantasy it is for you (or in general).

I haven't seen this movie, but many people tell me it's great sci-fi (in the side of soft sci-fi, I think).

It's a great sentimental drama with one (just one, but highly effective) sci-fi idea.

But all the movies I see on DVD or on the theaters, I see with subtitles. I prefer to hear the original voices.

Yeah over-dubs are usually disastrous.

District 9 would have been so much better if it hadn't turned into Iron Man part way through (the lightning gun was the only thing that kept from turning it off that was so boring) and if they had cared even a little bit about the fluid making any sense whatsoever. I wanted to see more evictions!

The only other movie I've seen on the poll is Inception, so I probably shouldn't vote.

if you own a sodastream i hate you

If you haven't seen The Devil's Backbone, I highly recommend it. It's less famous than Pan's Labyrinth, but I liked it even more.

Many people is recommend me this movie for ages. I think I will rent the DVD this weekend!

Let me know what you think Thumbs Up

And I guess you have the advantage of actually speaking Spanish. My few years of high school Spanish doesn't exactly help much with it LOL

. I'm fine with subtitles though.

And I forgot to add Moon, a superb film made by Duncan Jones, the son of David Bowie! I hate myself! Ouch

So that makes three.

I still say Children of Men.

But yes, Pan's Labyrinth is great too. I'd not say it was sci-fi though. It's more fantasy.

Yeah that's true.

Some other good ones are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep by Michel Gondry.

I've got Darko, Vendetta, and Children on DVD. Out of those three, hard to say.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

A tie between Donnie Darko and V for Vendetta.

Also, The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo Del Toro. Those are both complete masterpieces.

I've only seen two of these and Children of Men was the best out of the two. LOL

I do plan to see some of the others though eventually.
