What are your 15 favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy films of all time

[toobfreak]

One movie I excluded because it was never a theatrical release but could have been was actually a pilot for a TV show, so I left it off, but for pure science fiction value, one of the best movies ever made was 'The Cage,' the original 1964 pilot that launched Star Trek. It really is an epic sci-fi story and had it been made as a full-budgeted motion picture, the mind reels at the possibilities.

The special effects, makeup, the other world set designs were really top-class for its time and today's filmmaking. These three pics you posted are the best it is a type of Art.

The Dark Knight is so great

Wanted to include it but limit is 15.

As great as Ledger's performance was there was nothing new or unique
Up
Forrest Gump
Toy Story...

So many to leave off I decided that the criteria should be the contribution to the movies as well as quality.

I don't think Fahrenheit 451 was in theaters was it?

Colossus: The Forbin Project.

Have that on DVD. Time was when they used to show that on TV at least once a year!
