I think they are abysmally ignorant about sci-fi. Among those films listed in the
Action/Adventure category:
1- Close Encounters of the Third Kind
2- Star Wars
3- Back To The Future
4- Total Recall
They are somewhat better on horror and westerns; best on drama,comedy
and crime/mystery/suspense.
They simply hate science fiction.Consequently any SF film of any merit whatsoever which they can possibly wrestle into another category will go there instead of into science fiction. That means that all the leftovers which can't possibly go elsewhere will make up the SF category, instead it containing only good films.
Now, assuming that 80% of everything is c**p, that means that out of any list of 10 SF films formed this way, 2 will be good-uns and the rest will be rubbish.
Voila. The NY Times list.
