This strikes me as an oddly incomplete list. Except in the case of Star Wars and the Aliens films only one movie per franchise (such as the Planet of the Apes or Star Trek) was listed. Zombie flicks are represented by 28 Days Later instead of either version of the Dawn of the Dead. Judgement Day over the original Terminator? The Road Warrior over Mad Max?
If I wanted to make the above list a true geek's delight I'd add the following films.
Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone - Molly Ringwald and Michael Ironside in space. Hard to beat.
The Dark Crystal- Jim Henson's sci-fi puppets. And I'd swear that this had David Bowie in it.
The Black Hole - Disney flick with an R2D2 rip-off.
The Thing (1982) - John Carpenter's take on Campbell's classic shortstory Who Goes There?
Time Bandits
The Andromeda Strain - the only decent film made from a Michael Crighton book.
Muppets From Space - Possibly the funniest scifi movie ever made.
They Live - A highly quotable classic from John Carpenter. For extra fun, watch it back-to-back with the "Cripple Fight" episode of South Park.
The Fifth Element - Much better than you think, with a throwaway performance from Gary Oldman.
Outland - Sean Connery as the sherriff of a space station.
Westworld - Yul Brenner as a robot cowboy gone beserk. Highlu (though unintentionally)comic. Thank you Channel 56 - you gave me so much.
Hell Comes to Frogtown - I've never seen this. I just like the title.
