Re: I totally agree Victor

Oh, Geez, if you mean the movies I consider great - I have been posting on them for several years, so if you just do a search by my name you will find many, many.

If you specifically mean the SF - that is harder. I don't divide the films into SF, action, whatever, I usually separate them into good and bad. I don't specifically love the SF, as there the story tends to dominate, and I don't value the story in film much, most of the time. Plus the very definition of SF is shaky at best. If it is something that is set in the world that doesn't exist, then there are many movies that would qualify - even things like Woman in Dunes. But I used to think the SF is supposed to be technology driven to large extent - space travel, strange scientific discoveries - that sort of things. In that case films like Solaris naturally qualify, the 2001 and even things like the Pi. But in a good SF film, in my view, the humans should dominate, their feelings and emotions, not how well the plastic figures are made. That is why I don't give one rat's breath over things like the Star Wars or that Troopers thingy.
