Solid list. Terrible rankings. Seems to suffer somewhat from recency bias.

Like Frenzy said, the list itself isn't bad, but it feels like they put the names in a randomizer and hit the go button.

T2 is 92nd best out of 100?
Terminator is better than T2?
Aliens is better than Alien?
ANH is better than ESB?
Gravity is the second best sci-fi movie of all time?
BTTF ISN'T in the top ten?
Black Panther isn't even the best MCU film, let alone the 18th best sci-fi movie of all time.
You could make the case that at least a third of these movies aren't even really sci-fi.

#1 is Metropolis
#2 Sandra Bullock film in space
#3 Wall-E

More reason to nuke San Francisco, we created Hipster I believed, they came out of this hell hole.

Did I miss it or did the movie "Matrix" not make the list. I thought it would make the top 100.

Just checked. It's not there.

Also, given their broad definition of "sci fi," I am outraged (yes, OUTRAGED) that Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was not included.

Also, no Jurassic Park?????????

Monkey, I love you like a stranger on the internet that I've never had an argument with, but this list looks like garbage the more I think about it.

True. Yuppies and hipster pretty much run that site.

Now I’m sick of myself for bringing poison to this website.

Yeah the order is out of whack because it just goes by a critics score... If this was an actual list it would be pathetic.. no Logan's Run???

AdBlockPlus caught it for me right away. If they block it, it isn't worth reading.
