It started as a lark in the forums in early January \u2013 what are the 20 best sci-fi movies of all time? I set up one basic rule (which I then broke in my list): Franchises can only be represented by one film. Cassander, Rottingcorpse, and I all produced lists. Then, over the next few months, we debated the validity of the lists, and started marathon sessions to rewatch the films we selected. The lists all evolved and, now, we\u2019ll spend this week presenting our defenses.
\n<\/p>\n
Throughout today, we\u2019ll see two posts in addition to this one. Both Rottingcorpse and Cassander will be introducing their lists. Then, between Tuesday and Thursday, we\u2019ll each defend our more controversial choices. Right now, the plan is to end on Friday with a conversation on the movies that crept onto each of our lists. We\u2019ll see if that happens.<\/p>\n
So, since we have a long piece from Cass scheduled in a couple of hours, I\u2019ll keep this short. Here\u2019s my list:<\/p>\n
