Yes, they missed Forest Tuckers greatest role and its British counterpart “The Trollenberg Terror”.

They also missed a bazillion other sci-fi B flicks. Could be a good thing ;)

got 143

If nothing else, I can't believe just how old some of the movies are! I don't recall Brazil being that old, but I guess it must be.

There are also a few of the 151 movies I saw that were a complete waste of time, #1 on the list being "Lost in Space," which I got for free with the purchase of my first DVD player. I still feel that somebody owes me for the time I wasted watching that movie!

"Another Earth" was very good.

153. A lot of these are debatable as to definition, but I want to explicitly state that ‘Gravity’ is not science fiction.

There are very few people living who could have seen some of the earlier ones in a theater. The only criterion was to have watched a given movie all the way through to the end.

BTW, how many were given the MST3K treatment?

MST3K really make the bad ones worth watching, the cheesier, the better.

Did they actually leave out “Invaders From Mars”?

"The Brain That Wouldn't Die" seems to be the only one on the list.

The original Dune was a colossal disappointment. We waited so long for that atrocity to come out. 149/300

They certainly missed “Melting Man” from the late 70’s!

You have watched 241 out of 300 on this list!

FOOLISH HUMANS. THEIR SCI-FI KNOWLEDGE CAN NEVER SURPASS YOURS. Ahem. But seriously, you’re a walking sci-fi encyclopedia, and you’re eager to share your passion with anyone who will listen (and some who won’t). You’re just counting down the days till you can help colonize Mars.

The worst science fiction movie I ever saw was Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”. It didn’t make this list.

Well, they missed THIS ISLAND EARTH, which was the movie for the MST3K movie. It was a high production effort, at the time.

They missed others, of course, like THE QUIET EARTH ( great movie ) and one my favorites, IT CONQUERED THE WORLD, with Peter Graves and Lee Van Cleef. There's a whole raft of other 50's stuff too, like FIRST MAN INTO SPACE and ATOMIC SUBMARINE. And oh yeah, FIRE MAIDENS FROM OUTER SPACE, which was on MST3K ... "You don't have to be Sigmund Freud" - Tom Servo.

BTW, I gave in and went through the list and was surprised as I went along by how many I've seen. I was thinking "more than half for sure", but I came in at 143. I pooped out post-2000. I have seen a lot of the oddball stuff like REPO MAN and THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, which bucked up my average. Never saw or want to see a TRANSFORMER movie.
