I am officially too old apparently when this is the top comment and it lacks Blade Runner at the top of the list (let alone even on it). Wow.

Great choices though...for like the last 10 years maybe, I'll give you Matrix and X Files beyond that and that is it.

Would anyone like a real list from a 40 year old?

1. Blade Runner 2. Star Wars 3. 2001 4. Close Encounters of the Third Kind 4. E.T. 5. Star Trek 6. The Last Starfighter 7. Alien 8. Superman 9. The Empire Strikes Back 10. Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi

It's an unpopular opinion, but I didn't love Blade Runner. Don't get me wrong I like Phillip K. Dick as much as the next guy, the movie just wasn't there for me.

Same here. I loved the book (Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep?) but didn't care for the movie version at all as I felt it missed the magic of the book completely. Maybe as in most such cases what got read/seen first mattered.

Well as a 25 year old I added to the above list because I thought a lot of classics were missing. But I'd like to hear the 40 year old list too.
