There is clearly a vast gulf between us. I certainly agree with a lot of their choices:
**Terminator 2
Bladerunner
Serenity/Firefly
Star Trek 2** (Yes!)
**Doctor Who
The Thing
The Matrix**
But I gotta draw the line at other stuff. (Starship Troopers, anyone? Therre’s a can o’worms)
What about The Hidden? For all its faults, I’d put The abyss in there. And RoboCop And definitely the original Terminator, even over its sequel.
Do you have to be born after 1980 to see good sci fi. ?
The original War of the World belongs near the top.
The original The Thing was a scary thill when I was a kid.
They Came From Outerspace was great.
Body Snatchers was best originally too.
How about Outer Limits and The Twi Light Zone
Seems like a good list. 25 years is a long time and sci-fi is a big genre (especially if they count both movies and TV), so leaving some stuff out is inevitable.
I woulda dropped Heros, Lost (does anyone still like Lost?) and the animated Star Wars (which was fun, but I can’t help thinking they threw it in there just because they felt the need to have a Star Wars product in there and the latter movies weren’t good enough).
I liked that they had Eternal Sunshine, both because I really like the movie and because its not what most people think of when they think about the genre.
Would’ve added Akira, DS9 and Cowboy Beebop. Granted that may have made the list a little Trek heavy.
ETA: also they put the wrong Terry Gilliam movie on there, replace Brazil with 12 monkeys
umm…is this a woosh. Its best from the last 25 years.
The Matrix had no business being on the list. Neither did Starship Troopers. Firefly should have ranked higher, and X Files lower.
I can’t take seriously any SF list that includes V, in any of its incarnations.
They lost me right there.
Aliens looking for water?!?!?! Who fly right by effing Jupiter and it’s moons?
ETA: Yes, I know, I’m a terrible snob.
Am I missing a summary page? I don’t want to go through 25 links to see their crappy choices one page at a time? We have the technology to do this better.
They didn’t include 12 Monkeys? It’s one of the best SF movies ever made.
Plus their list is way too American. They’d have been better off dropping the handful of non-American entries and just calling it the best American SF of the past 25 years.
Totally agree. Slow-loading bloated pages, 25 times? I have better things to do with my time.
The rings of Saturn would be even better than Jupiter’s moons. No need to lift it out of a gravity well.
The aliens in V wanted food, too, though.
And sex. Don’t forget the kinky sex.
Seriously, by the time those two were revealed, though, the whole concept of V as a serious show was out the window.
Apologies for the ALL CAPS, but I just cut and pasted
Apart from the obvious stinkers (1, 7 and 25) the list isn’t that bad.
Except for the actual stinkers: 5, 11, 17.
Yes, 17 for sure

aaahahahaha. Oh that’s rich, I can’t breathe.
aaaaahahahaha
I’d also question placing Doctor Who on a list of best SF of the last 25 years. The show’s big years were prior to 1982.
Gotta love when a post doesn’t appear until after the edit timer because of the lag. That’s fantastic.
The list was terrible to put it mildly. There’s two entries that I would rate as completely horrible, a large number that I could see placing low on such a list but were deeply flawed, and some vast oversights. SF fans could dicker over placements forever but that’s a list that should leave any science fiction fan just scratching their head.
Their defense of Starship Troopers is completely clueless. Did anyone criticize the movie for being “pro-fascism”? The main complaints were the low quality of the film making, the raping of the original story, and the moralizing that could only have been less subtle if Verhoeven wrote “FASCISM BAD!!” on a brick and beat the audience to death with it.
The three seasons of “New” Who have had some pretty good moments. Although the sets lack that nostalgic “cardboard” look.
