We could post threads for new films on alternate Fridays, and call it <strong>Friday Flix<\/strong>, or something else shatteringly clever. The movies on the top of my list are Forbidden Planet (1956) and Metropolis (1927), but there are dozens of greats I haven&#8217;t seen, and others I&#8217;d like to revisit, like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I even dug up the best &#8220;Top X Sci Fi Movie&#8221; lists I could find on the Internet and put the 121 movies on those lists into a spreadsheet here, along with some additional ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/88034905\/Lists%20of%20top%20science%20fiction%20movies.xlsx\">https:\/\/dl.dropboxusercontent.com\/u\/88034905\/Lists%20of%20top%20science%20fiction%20movies.xlsx<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve only seen about 52 of the 121 movies appearing on those &#8220;best&#8221; lists, some of them so long ago that I functionally can&#8217;t remember them (Enemy Mine?
