The Greatest Science Fiction Movie Tournament

[Naonak]

So with the "free passes" for those films listed, every film in that series gets though? ie. all 10 Trek films, all six Star Wars films, etc.

[The Signal]

^ Yes. Does the matrix count as a classic though?

Does the matrix count as a classic though?

Round 0 Day 2

1 - Outland (I agree warmbeachbrat and RealmOfX, great movie)
2 - Starman
3 - Forbidden Planet
4 - Total Recall
5 - 2001: A Space Odyssey

[Anubis69]

w00t! Back to 10 votes.

1. Starship Troopers (2nd)
2. Total Recall (I think this is an early favourite to win... ) (3rd)

hmm... Where do the B5 made for TV movies stand? I haven't seen most of them (Only the pilot one) but are they considered part of the arc in general due to their lack of theatrical release or...

I vote to give a free pass to the franchise movies. And throw the Matrix movies in there too, imo. Granted there are stinkers in those franchise groups, but it gives me something easy to vote for then in the early rounds. If more people were to come to the thread and read and comprehend the rules (ie. stop voting for movies already through. I'm thinking of rd 0 of the villain tourney going on now. ), then I'd say no. But I'm thinking we'll be stuck with a lot of the franchise movies and not a wider variety of others if people have to use their votes to get those through and then can't vote for other stand alone movies.

But then which franchise movies do you include and which ones you don't? Someone mentioned the Matrix. I can think of Superman (though in no way do I want III, IV, and Supergirl included ), X-men, and umm well okay I can't think of any more atm.

3. Equilibrium
4. The Thirteenth Floor
5. Tron
6. The Arrival

Not voting for yet, just questioning if they're sci-fi:

Batteries Not Included
Cocoon
Short Circuit
Flight of the Navigator
Back to the Future (franchise?)
Tremors
Stir of Echoes
Buckaroo Banzai
Honey I Shrunk the Kids



ETA: Yes, give a free pass to the franchises. It gives smaller, but quality movies more of a chance.

[The Signal]

Back to the Future (franchise?)
Honey I Shrunk the Kids

Yes to the first. Maybe to the second. *shrug* to all the ones I didnt quote

[Mr Prophet]

Yes to the first. Maybe to the second. *shrug* to all the ones I didnt quote

How is Honey I Shrunk the Kids not scifi? And does Back to the Future get a franchise pass?

[The Signal]

^ Ignore me, my head isnt screwed on right. And yes, BTTF does get a pass.

[Missster.Freeman]

Arf! Look at all those posts. Uh... where do I start?

Quoting myself so I aren't confuzzled:

Round 0 Day 1

1. Total Recall "See you at the party Richter!"
2. Bladerunner
3. 2001: A Space Odyssey

Ah cool. I was going to vote for Outland, but I see RealmOfX and dipsofjazz's votes have pushed it through.



Round 0 Day 2

4. The Last Starfighter.
5. Tron. w00t!
6. Superman II. (If it isn't to be given a by as a franchise)
7. Equilibrium. I liked this so much, I have the DVD.

That concludes my votes for the day.

^I have added Superman to the list, minus "Superman Returns" and "Supergirl"
