From Nov.2007 issue of Discover Magazine(pages 74 & 75)list of the top
5 best and worst science related Sci Fi movies of all time.
The Worst:
1.The Core(2003)
2.What The #$*! Do We (K)now?(2004)
3.Chain Reaction(1996)
4.Volcano(1997)
5.The 6th Day(2000)
The Best:
1.Gattaca(1997)
2.Metropolis(1927)
3.The Day The Earth Stood Still(1951)
3.(tie)On The Beach(1959)
4.A Beautiful Mind(2001)
5.Contact(1997)
I think that The Day The Earth Stood Still would be on anyone's list of best
all time Sci Fi movies.

I agree with all of those. What the **** Do We Know is so terrible, I turned off the TV after 5 minutes. But Gattaca is so awesome.

I didn't like The Day the Earth stood still but Metropolis and Gattaca were very good.

The Day the Earth Stood Still is a great movie, but I don't think I'd have called it science-based. In the same way, Contact does a good job on the science but wasn't that great of a movie (read the book, seriously). Personally, I'd have put The Ganymede Project on the list before either of those. Admittedly, it is hard to come up with a list of good science-based movies, since the writers are usually hideously incompetent when it actually comes to the science.

Yes you do! Gattaca isn't normal sci-fi. It's more "intelligent" sci fi, ex. A Scanner Darkly, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, etc.

They put Gattacca at number one because of the way it shows that
DNA does not equal fate.
And yeah,I know it is Discover and not Discovery magazine,I kinda slipt when I wrote the thread title,sorry.
