1. Aliens -- Sci Fi horror perfected, with the most memorable cast of characters in sci-fi film history. Would be panned as racist these days for casting a white woman to play a Latina in brown face.
2. Jurassic Park -- The groundbreaking dinosaur CGI still holds up well, and the Williams score is 50% of why the movie is so great. Too bad the franchise went downhill from there, ending (hopefully) with the god-awful Jurassic World reboot.
3. Terminator 2 -- The same basic plot as Terminator 1, but executed far better.
4. Interstellar -- by far the best sci-fi film of the 2000s, with a deep and emotional time travel plot, excellent depiction of alien planets (especially the frozen cloud planet), and Zimmer's best film score to date.
5. Gattaca -- You don't get better drama sci-fi than this.
My top 5 films that I love but everyone hates.
1. Skyline -- Hands down the fearsome aliens to ever appear in an Alien Invasion movie. The way they harvested human brains to power their exosuits was disturbing. That is until the awful sequel reduced them to mere Power Rangers foes getting their asses kicked by Indonesian Ninjas! WTF happened there?
2. Cutthroat Island -- This was such a fun adventure movie! Only gets better with repeated viewings!
3. The Ring Two -- I must be the only one on Earth who thought this was better than the first one.
4. The Skeleton Key -- This is the movie where Jordan Peele ripped off his "Get Out" script from. It's so fucking underrated it should be criminal.
5. Jason X -- I once marathoned the whole franchise for Halloween with some friends, and this was the only one that stood out as a good movie. What the hell do people see in the first one? It's so boring!
