Some great movies listed, but no love for District 9? Well-made and well-acted South African movie.

Off the top of my head, my favorites are.....

The original (1933) KING KONG
Actress Fay Wray recently passed away, age 96.

and, THE BLOB (Steve McQueen's first movie)
This thriller was filmed in1958, only 25 miles from where we live in Pennsylvania.

District 9, indeed overlooked and a worthy choice.
There's a thin blurry line between actual science fiction and what we'd call "space opera" or "space fantasy,"
which certainly has its charms (e.g., Flash Gordon, Star Wars), and a slightly broader but no less blurry line
between sci-fi and monster-horror. Anyone up for that discussion?

To me Science Fiction is a very broad category encompassing many genres/elements including:

Time Travel (The Time Machine)
Futuristic Settings/Technology/Weapons (Logan's Run)
Space Travel (Mission to Mars)
Space Opera (The Last Starfighter)
Super Heroes (Batman v Superman)
Alien Invasion (Pacific Rim)
Creature Features (Tremors)
Post Apocalyptic (A Boy and His Dog)
Psychological/Thriller-Suspense/Horror Sci-Fi (The Butterfly Effect/Escape Room/Resident Evil)

But I do see Sci-Fi as being distinctly separate from:

Fantasy (Lord of the Rings, Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent)
Action/Adventure (Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, Jumanji)
Pure Horror (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Rosemary's Baby, The Shining)

So many good ones already mentioned, but one I have not seen listed:

War of the Worlds



I may have overlooked it since there have been so many discussed. I prefer the newer version to the original.
