I have a lot of issues with your so-called list. Starting with the clearly non-canonical 78. How can you possibly choose such a ridiculous number????
Just kidding. Anyone who has The Princess Bride in there is fine by me.

Whoa. Good List...

Yeah I see you added Predator instead now.
I'd have to say that I actually like that movie myself. You've got a good list. Quite a few on there that I've seen over and over and over.Psolaris

I just happen to be a Star Wars fan, i thought "Revenge of the Sith" was a major improvement over Episodes 1 & 2 and i know Lucas isn't that great of a writer, Peter Jackson could have at least written the script and you have to remembered that he did wrote the script for the first of the classic Star Wars trilogy as that had some hammy dialog too! but i thought it was a major improvement over the the last two SW movies and as good as the old trilogy.
Yes The Princess Bride has always been a fave of mine since i first rented it back in high school in 2000! great mix of fantasy, comedy and adventure with some memorable liners "Anybody want a peanut?"
Well The first of the classic SW trilogy in my opinion is the mother of all sci-fi flicks while Blade Runner comes second! and "Wizard of Oz" is the greatest fantasy flick ever in my opinion while "Dark Crystal" is second in my opinion.

Well like I said it really comes down to an emotional/ intellectual response, but yeh fair enough.
A bit of trivia: Star Wars was partly based on a samurai film called The Hidden Fortress by Akira Kurosawa, literally one of the most influential directors of films ever. And Lucas along with Francis Coppola actually helped Kurosawa pay for some of his later films when the Japanese studios didnt want to and couldn't afford them. If I'm not mistaken Kagemusha was one of them.

Yes, Lord of the Rings was better than ROTS; especially Fellowship of the Ring. That was the best of the three.

Gattica would have to be in the top 10 of any best of scifi list, well at least for me.
No comment on the Indiana Jones movies eh? They undeniably fall in the fantasy category. You've got to have a good reason for not including those...

All lists are a matter of opinion, but I offer some classic sci fi that are not on the list and no one has mentioned -
Soylent Green
Silent Running
The 10th Victim
Farenhite 451 (did i get that right?)
Planet of the Apes
Metropolis
Things to Come
Brother From Another Planet
Repo Man
A Boy and His Dog
Just off the top of my head. Some of these, particularly Silent Running, 10th Victim and Metropolis would be quite high on my list.
