Tie between Aliens, T2 and Blade Runner. All 3 movies turn me on.
 
I'll get a lot of shit, but I really enjoyed Cloud Atlas. I thought the stories within the story were so well done and under-rated.
 
Stuck on a desert island with one choice for the rest of my days, it would definitely be Empire.
 
Gotta say Blade Runner but I really wanted to vote Gattaca
 
Other than the heavy hitters, "Gattaca" is one of the best and criminally under appreciated.
 
I always liked Bullitt's answer for this.

It's really good, if a little uneven and labored.

A lot of sci-fi movies are hampered by the audience's unwillingness to suspend disbelief, which isn't really anyone's fault. I mean, visually some things are just impossible to swallow. The book version of IT as a spider is scary as hell -- watching people fight a giant spider onscreen? Not nearly as creepy.

Well stated I 100% agree

#metoo.

Surprised you didn't went with Event Horizon.

I even prefer BR 2049 than the original. Sucks that Leto's corporation bought out Tyrell. Would've been great to see a spinoff with Weyland-Yutani as they both exist in the same universe. A neo-noir alien movie.
 
Wanted to vote Blade Runner but heart said Stalker.
 
Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Trilogy. Spawned a whole new genre of shows and a million dollar industry.
 
No love for “Earth Girls are Easy”??
