And the Winner Is… Reader’s Choice for Top 10 Sci-Fi Movies

Pretty interesting list from Geekdad....

Quote
After 73 nominated films, and 11,061 votes from 58 countries, the results are in from our poll to decide the Top 10 Sci-Fi movies of all time.

The winner, in the Number One spot, as selected by the readers of GeekDad, is …

(drum roll…)

Blade Runner

This is the seminal 1982 dystopian crime/noir/sci-fi film directed by Brit Ridley Scott, who also directed our Number 3 film, Alien, as well as Gladiator and most recently Prometheus. Blade Runner stars Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, and Sean Young, and is based on the sci-fi novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.

Here’s how the Top 10 went down, in rank and number of votes:

    Blade Runner (Director’s Cut): 404 + Blade Runner: 398 = 802
    The Matrix: 665
    Alien: 480
    Star Wars: Episode IV €A New Hope : 455
    2001: A Space Odyssey: 446
    Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back: 434
    Back to the Future: 353
    The Fifth Element: 346
    The Terminator: 332
    Aliens: 325

[Note: We mistakenly listed Blade Runner and Blade Runner (Director's Cut) as two separate films, when we should listed the film only once. We've combined the votes for both versions (404 votes plus 398 votes) which gives us 802, an easy win for first place. But since people could have theoretically voted for Blade Runner twice, this might explain why the film nabbed number one. Still, even if you cut the total in half, Blade Runner still makes the top 10. Also, The War of the Worlds and Minority Report were accidentally listed twice; in the results below, their separate totals have been combined. We apologize for the errors.]

Here are the full results:

1. Blade Runner (Director’s Cut): 404 + Blade Runner: 398 = 802
2. The Matrix: 665
