Which is your all time favorite?

Tough because some of your choices are 'science fiction' (2001, Intersteller) and some are 'science fantasy' (Star Wars)

For sheer excitement- got to go with Star Wars.

For best 'science' fiction- Martian.

Aliens was the best of the series

Gotta save Newt

Aliens one of my favorite action films of all time.

When I was 11, the TV series V was popular enough that what some of us used to do in our 6th grade class is put a splotch of rubber cement on on our hand. Then let it dry, then peel about half of it off and use a marker pen to color the skin underneath green - to look like we were "Visitors" wearing fake human skin.

I pretty much hate any movie with kids.
I like Alien the original and Prometheus much better

Forbidden Planet and Forbin Project

Forbin Project! Wow! Forgot that one!

Alien was a great horror film- and I despise horror films.

Aliens was a great action film- and the kid is one of the many reasons I despised Aliens 2.

Prometheus was very good.

Actually thinking of science fiction films- you left out time travel ones- a very good one was Edge of Tomorrow (also known by its tagline Live. Die. Repeat.

I actually mentioned Planet of the Apes in this thread.
No, I'm not SCI FI 'specialist' for sure, but do enjoy some good Sci Fi / Space movies.
Hardly makes me a Harlequin fan... dummy!

3. 2001: A Space Odyssey
4. Gravity
5. The Empire Strike Back
6. The Martian

Edge of Tomorrow and Oblivion were excellent!

Another TV movie, had me order the story in a book, from the Library Exchange. Old but great: INCONSTANT MOON.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

I'll mention my favorite funny-guilty-pleasure of sci-fi: Waterworld. Ya know, that oh-so-worldwide-respected Costner vanity projects I assume MUST have swept the Oscars that year. Right? Right? This dumb action movie violated more laws of science than any movie I can think of, but I thought it was still a lot of silly, raucous fun to watch. It didn't take itself too seriously and the actors and movie itself certainly seemed to have a lot of big-budget fun about itself, as cheesy as that fun was. Dennis Hopper was wildly chewing the scenery even by his standards! And that "underwater city" scene had such beautifully throbbing James Newton-Howard musical crescendoes.
