I was hesitant to include superhero movies, but finally decided they were science fiction. However, I do not class V for Vendetta as a science fiction film. Politics. Action. Thrills. Fiction. But no science. The same reason I removed The Purge from my initial list.

Well, Cruise is just a sci-fi stud.

I really should see Vanilla Sky again, I remember liking it, but not to the extent that it really stuck with me.

The fact I've already seen several films on multiple lists, just shows that the last 17 years of sci-fi been dire.

And come on Thegun, where are the other 11?

Dude it's Monday. That's a more than solid top 10.

All right:

Star Trek
Logan
Days of Future Past
Star Trek Nemesis
I'Robot
My stepmother is an alien (whoops that's the 20th century)
District 9
AI
Children of Men
Cloud Atlas (I still have no idea what the fuck that movie is, but I appreciate it that it was made)
Bladerunner: The final Cut
Harry Potter (Just all of them)

And to be technical, the century actually changed in 1999, so you can include the Matrix. It's like how you are living you're second year even though you are turning one.

The biggest shock here is that stuffp did not include Inception.

Good call, I might have included that would I've thought about it, but then again, I haven't seen it for so long. Remembering it very fondly though.

Cloud Atlas is also a good pick by any, but yet, not good enough for my list anyway.

But yeah, I don't know why I brain farted on that.

Inception would be my #1.

And for that matter, The Prestige would be #2, so I'm bumping Passengers and Planet of the Apes from the list.

There is an aspect of science fiction to The Prestige, but I would not label it sci-fi. To each his own. Inception is 100% science fiction.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with that view on both films.

Yup, you can argue if it was January 1st 2000 or 2001, depending on your concept of the Year Zero, but never 1999.
