For me, it's between 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner.  I'll vote later.

Tough call between Blade Runner and the Tarkovsky ones. Voted for Blade Runner because that's the one I watch most often.

I've not seen everything on that list, but of those I have A Clockwork Orange is my favourite. Few films have bored me quite so spectacularly as Blade Runner. I don't get why that film is so highly acclaimed.

Okay, well The Empire Strikes Back is most likely the best sci-fi film ever made.  Ever.

But there are too many good ones on this list.  Aliens, The Matrix, Terminator 2, Blade Runner, 2001...

What a good poll. I've voted for 2001. It set the benchmark for modern sci-fi movies and is based upon a genuinely classic piece of written work.

The novel and the movie were developed at the same time actually.  Both were based partly on older stories of Clarke's, though.

Sorry man, I just don't get it. I'm open for someone to try and explain what I'm missing but... meh, I just couldn't get into it.

I think the two best sci-fi/action movies ever are Aliens and T2. Today I am in more of an Aliens mood, so I vote for that.

It looks awesome and there's a lot of rain in it. Those are the main points, I think.

From all of the Sci-Fi movies. I think Metropolis should be on the top. I think it is the Grand daddy of them all. 

Man - I clicked on other, I haven't took notice on Metropolis being on the poll. 
So, my "other" poll answer should count in the Metropolis.

This hits it in the head (ouch) for me. As much as I love Blade Runner, Clockwork Orange and Aliens. 2001 crashed the door open for sci-fi films that followed. Big smile

Nice poll!

If it makes you feel any better, I don't like Blade Runner either, although Philip K. Dick is one of my favorite sci-fi writers.

I love a lot of these movies, but 2001 is the greatest movie of all time and gets my vote.
