SciFi canon meme

- Post a Comment

I just realised that I never did the "bold is what I've seen" version of Scalzi's SF movie canon list.

So here it is...

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension!
Akira
Alien
Aliens
Alphaville
Back to the Future
Blade Runner
Brazil
Bride of Frankenstein
Brother From Another Planet
A Clockwork Orange
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Contact
The Damned
Destination Moon
The Day The Earth Stood Still
Delicatessen
Escape From New York
ET: The Extraterrestrial
Flash Gordon: Space Soldiers (serial)

The Fly (1985 version)
Forbidden Planet
Ghost in the Shell
Gojira/Godzilla
The Incredibles
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956 version)
Jurassic Park
Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior
The Matrix
Metropolis

On the Beach
Planet of the Apes (1968 version)
Robocop

Sleeper
Solaris (1972 version)
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
The Stepford Wives
Superman
Terminator 2: Judgement Day

The Thing From Another World
Things to Come
Tron
12 Monkeys
28 Days Later

Obvious deficiencies are "12 Monkeys" which I somehow missed and never got round to seeing, "Brazil" (I think I gave up on it once when I was younger) and "Solaris".
