I would hardly call Rocky Horror sci-fi. Good clean (yeah, right) spoof of horror cliches, however.

The Illustrated Man is a poor work-up of a superior Ray Bradbury work.

THX1138 is fab but I wouldn't call it one of the top 20. Top 50 has my vote.

Lang's Metropolis is, quite simply, stunning. Not only is it on of the top sci-fi films but it is one of the top films in the history of cinema. To call it "great" is serious understatement.

Logan's Run is great but see THX1138. The book is even better.

Darkman is a mediocrity. Not terrible, not good.

Lifeforce was, IMHO, the bottom of the barrel. Sorry.
