There have been several versions on last man on earth including The Omega Man.

[@ZakhadWOW]

[@paultomaszewski1964]

"Starman" with Jeff Bridges, and "Enemy Mine" with Dennis Quaid.

[@stephenolan5539]

They had to put a mineral mine in the movie so that people would not get confused with the movie title.

[@michaeld2519]

'Starman' was brilliant - one of John Carpenter's lesser known gems! 'Enemy Mine' was also very good.

[@mcm95403]

Both solid suggestions!

[@jc.1191]

Both are good

[@goku8621]

Starman is so good reminds me of et but for adults

[@Amy4000]

I got one. 1981 "Outland" staring Sean Connery. So good I couldn't believe I never seen it before.

[@kristiannoel4866]

It's pretty good, a story about corporate greed.

[@SonicTemples]

Fantastic cinematography too!

[@raylovelace8588]

A sci-fi rendering of "High Noon" IIRC.

[@hammertoesramirez6521]

It's High Noon in space.

[@StodgeViper]

i watched this again about 3 weeks ago its a great movie :)

[@DeviMaidelights]

Dune has been and still is one of my favorite movies. It was true to the book and accomplished something visually entertaining for the 80's.

[@paulaclarke3421]

I can recommend Dark City, starring Rufus Sewell.

[@DementedCaver]

Awesome little flick, I watched that one about a half a year before The Matrix....and thought that the two movies had a bit of a similar twist......kind of.

[@EPurpl3]

oh yea, and the crow, made by the same director, alex proyas

[@EPurpl3]

+DementedCaver both dark city and the matrix used the same scene sets from the same studio

[@DementedCaver]

You are not yanking my chain are you? That would seriously make sense though.

[@DementedCaver]

Oh yes, I loved the original The Crow...never bothered to watch any of the others.

[@juttamaier2111]

[@1701spacecadet]

And Jenny Agutter naked! Always a bonus.

[@ptery]

I couldn't agree more!!

[@nunyabiznez6381]

I watched it as a teen summer of 1977 as the second feature of a double feature with Star Wars. It was a drive-in in Cumberland RI and I saw it with my family including my Mom, three brothers, sister, my Mom's friend and her son who was my friend and it cost us $5 for the car load and we brought our own refreshments. You forgot Farrah Fawcett.

[@crocdoc2]

She was the wife/receptionist of the plastic surgeon, if I recall correctly.

[@ColTaylorDyath]

Everybody forgot Farrah Fawcett. She died the same day as Michael Jackson and barely got a mention.

[@jarnoronkainen75]

As WatchMojo has VERY informative description (mugs, t-shirts, pens and whatever copy/paste to every single video) they forgot to drop some info about movies...

[@cube2fox]

Thank you Jarno!

[@ajoliver74]

Still can’t mention, Westworld without the follow up, Future World.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Another vote for Silent Running. That film is pretty much forgotten, but is really well done.

[@dariabusek3566]

The plot of "Silent Running" is utter nonsense! Saving Earth's ecologies on giant space platforms... A botanist not realizing that his ecology is dying because plants can't survive in the ultra-dim sunlight at Saturn...

[@stabarnak9841]

Huey, Dewey and Louis...the undeniable pre-cursors to R2D2 and most other Star Wars drones.

[@suziechapstick8236]

Not to mention one of the a main influences for Mystery Science Theater 3000.

[@Bedrock1966]

great movie!

[@writerpatrick]

Most SF is based upon a ridiculous or impossible premise. SF is about the "what if."

[@Posiman]

BRAZIL is a freakin' masterpiece, sadly destroyed for US audiences by executives' firm belief that US audiences are unable to handle a dark message without a forced, inane good ending (which actually renders the film meaningless and hard to follow). In Europe it's considered a must-watch.

[@stegokitty]

I was never aware of a good ending to Brazil. I must've seen the un-retouched version.

[@FormerlyMatthewC]

The "Love Conquers All" version was only shown on US TV in a limited release (Universal Studios executive Sidney Shienberg fought furiously with Gilliam over this and wanted it to be the final version, it would have totally been ruined if the studios got their way), but the un-retouched version is the main version for all audiences.

[@jeffreyhurst9552]

Day of the Triffids should be included in everyone’s list. Another surprisingly good film from the 1950s, The Thing From Another World.

[@cgaccount3669]

[@martinandrews2700]

I saw Day of the Triffids after studying the book at school, and the film infuriated me because it missed the whole point of the story

[@MeesTW]

Why is there no mention of Solaris? It's one of the most iconic Russian films that's criminally overlooked worldwide.

[@StreetSpirit64]

+Mees Really any Sci-Fi by Tarkovsky

[@MeesTW]

Isaac Carmichael Absolutely, but I would say Solaris is his most Sci Fi-esque movie. Stalker has a much more interesting plot though, but I wouldn't say it's as good as a Sci Fi film as Solaris.

[@sonyasever7625]

Becaus book is better :/

[@MeesTW]

Sonya Sever I disagree. The cinematography on Solaris is far beyond what a book could deliver, but that's just me.

[@StreetSpirit64]

Stalker is definitely the more accessible of the two, and I'm a bit biased in the interpretation of its quality as I consider it one of my all time favorites, but Russian sci-fi as a whole deserves greater recognition.

[@snarkus63]

I drove halfway across Milwaukee,in winter weather,to see *Brazil*. It was well worth it.

[@Antishyr]

Brazil is the best '1984' screen adaptation.

[@Ballardian]

Except it isn't.

[@AerisShenlin]

My dad loved Westworld, Soylent Green, Logan's Run, A Space Odyssee, and The Time Machine. I watched them with him in attempt to connect with him. Ever since I've been a huge Sci-Fi movie fan.

[@jc.1191]

The time machine. Both of them. 👍

[@Sigma.Infinity]

Two lesser known films based on Philip K Dick: Imposter, and Paycheck.

[@Sigma.Infinity]

The mini-series, "Taken" (2002)(not the film of same name from 2008). Oddly unknown considering it is a Spielberg.

[@Sigma.Infinity]

"Dark Star" and "Barbarella".

[@StodgeViper]

I was really surprised that Moon wasn't on this top 10. Love that movie!

[@alexandra4real360]

Spoiler alert shit

[@3DJapan]

Alex4real Kwan4life Not really a spoiler, it happens in the beginning of the movie. Not to mention the movie is 7 years old. Plus it's in the trailer.

[@drewgardner479]

Phil Nolan --- nah, I think it's fair to call that a spoiler, since it's pretty much the crux of the entire film. Just coz the twist is (relatively) near the start, doesn't mean you'd want to know it before you start watching.

[@3DJapan]

drew gardner Sorry I don't think something in the trailer of the film can be called a spoiler. I left out the spoilers in my comment.

[@BSIII]

Coherence is just genius. I am a believer in mulit-verse and/or simulation theories, and this film just blows my mind. So simple. Only filmed in a house and outside.

[@MegaMaxiepad]

Metropolis is beyond any lists. And so is Brazil.

[@arztbose6266]

yet people think that metropolis doesnt apply to today is kind of silly imo. if you understand the movie alot of what is going on then is still going on now...

The Andromeda Strain. Solid sci-fi with actual focus on science.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984). A jarring start, but you clue in. Also an early Jeff Goldblum included at _no extra charge_ !

Fantastic Planet, 1973 animated French Science Fiction

[@daveid7247]

I was hoping someone would mention Fantastic Planet. Great story line. I think it may have been an inspiration for Avatar.

[@Magnero]

That's a weird one.

[@ncshuriken]

Great movie. I later randomly discovered it's soundtrack had been sampled by a couple of tracks I liked years before watching the film!

[@daydreamer8662]

Fantastic Planet and Metropolis have many similarities. Both are awesome in their own rights

[@MidnightBanshi]

Such a great flick! I always enjoy watching that one, along with Light Years (Gandahar).

[@Serai3]

_A Scanner Darkly_. Besides having a sharp, funny script, the painterly visual effect very quickly stops being an artsy affectation and becomes the way you would see all this if you were very, very stoned. Which is the whole point, of course. Surveillance technology, brain-twisting designer drugs, and loss of human individuality - it's classic Phllip K. Dick. (Robert Downy Jr and Woody Harrelson are hilarious as a pair of stoned housemates.) Oh, and nice to see _A Boy and His Dog_ get some needed love.

[@The_Gnome_Chomskee]

Serai3 so I’m on no drugs... and it makes perfect sense. Dick was ‘crazy’ but everything in that book/ movie happen every day now. Just saying.

[@richfowler3794]

Another Peter Weller gem is the movie Screamers which has several interlocking themes including the dangers of AI along with mysteries to be solved. Worth a look for any dedicated Sci-Fi fan

[@jrkorman]

Another P. K. Dick story - But they took the "Evil Corporation" trope instead of playing it by the book.

[@AMD7027]

Exactly a classic with a good cast and classic themes (The Tempest). NOT deserving to be on this list.

[@winternow2242]

I think it's more of a movie that people have heard about than seen.

[@colinswain9740]

I agree with Ari Rottenberg. Forbidden Planet is a magnificent film, with production values and ideas way above sci-fi movies of it's time, but wouldn't register with the majority of today's demographic.

[@JonS]

It appears to me as though it's far more popular in the UK than the USA (strangely). I'm from the UK and have been living in the US for 17 years. When I've mentioned Forbidden Planet to people here, I generally get blank stares.

I highly recommend Dark City. It's a tragedy it was largely overlooked, at least partly due to coming out the same time as The Matrix and dealing ith similar themes or perception of reality and the nature of humanity.

[@jessicabelk771]

Jourell1 good movie, I remember watching it when I was younger and it always kind of depressed me.

[@suziechapstick8236]

Great twist at the end.

[@nbamanuel7373]

Solaris and Stalker

[@FenceOnFire]

omg - these are both fantastic, and I was thinking of them while watching the video. Sorely under-watched due to peoples' lack of patience with foreign films.

That's been on my "must see" list for so long. I shall now try to find a source once more. Thanks for reminding me. ^_^

[@shugaroony]

Aye Rollerball and Andromeda Strain are terrific. Silent Running was too sentimental and cutesy for me. Demon Seed is terrifying.

[@ilembcke]

Hardware aka M.A.R.K. 13 is a must-see. Most ideas are stolen elsewhere, but fused together newly in a coherent story-line. Cast consists of Lemmy from Motörhead (RIP) as a water-taxi-driver, minor role, some guy from Fields of the Nephelim and Iggy Pop as the voice from the Radio and the Soundtrack is classic, featuring Public Image Ltd. (ex-Sex-Pistols Johnny Rotten), Ministry and again Iggy Pop. The movie is (or was) available on Blu-ray for a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

[@sylla2]

Hardware!! I had totally forgotten all about that one! It's not a masterpiece by far, but quite good in it's own way, nevertheless. Cyberpunk and dark humour.

[@mikegrossberg8624]

The first version of Rollerball was reat. The remake sucked

[@Competitive_Antagonist]

0:59 Coherence is actually one of my favourite movies. I don't know what to make about it being hard to understand as I found it a fairly simple Sci-if concept. The natural dialogue they used also made it quite refreshing to watch. I'm not sure how the meteor passing did this, but it caused a separate timeline to appear in theirs. This idea is simplified by saying that every choice you make creates a separate reality. In one reality you choose to move to another country, while in another you stay where you are. Really though it seemed to be governed more by probability than choice.

+Neil Taylor Such a good movie.

[@FreakieFan]

Rook3v i saw Soylent Green just last week for the first time and i loved it, even though i allready knew the twist. It's a pretty good film, and the ideas are great. Revolutionary dystopian vision for a movie from th 70's

[@FreakieFan]

Rook3v What are some other films that explore similar ideas? I'd love to watch some of those ;) I dont thnk Soylent Green is a masterpiece or anything, i just think it's a solid film, and very interesting considering it was made in the 70's ;)

[@FreakieFan]

Rook3v All of those movies, except being futuristic depictions of a society (except Dr Strangelove), have nothing in common with Soylent Green. (I do love all) The euthanasia clinic, the ending, the food riot with thousands of people getting shipped away by a garbage disposal truck, people sleeping on staircases, a video game (sounds unimpressive, it was back then), enthusiastically reacting to 'real' food and books, are all poignant scenes that are incredibly inventive for that time. I never thought that the movie was too long or boring or anything, it was fascinating for me to watch what people back then thought how the future was going to look. (I always love movies like that) unnecessary spectacle establishment shots? Like what XD The budget was very low, the sets were primitive and the director showed the least amount of fancy futuristic buildings as possible, since the budget was low. ''emphasizing the moral undertone the movie is trying to convey.'' - i agree a bit with that yeah, in the end they are emphasizing it alot

[@therealcroman]

Moon, Timer, The Man From Earth, Silent Running

[@Hunpecked]

Totally among my top ten movies ever. Been meaning to buy the blu-ray version because they did a great remaster job with deeper blacks and better contrast, but it really doesn't need it.

Seen all but that first one about the comet and the Spanish one on this list. Actually have many of these on VHS and DVD in our collection. But yeah, thinking that Generation-X'ers have more of a chance to have seen these films than millennials. Kind of wish that "S1MONE" had made the list. I thought that that was a pretty cool movie (yet no one I've ever spoken to about it has ever heard of it). ... But then, I also liked "The Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra" and I doubt that all that many folks have seen *that* movie, either. :)

I had to watch this movie more than once. I even had to go to websites to help me understand as much as I could. Amazing flick. Great rewatchability.

[@Zorak9595]

One not mentioned here, but I think most people have probably never heard of is "Threads". It's a British film "documenting" the events transpiring during a nuclear holocaust and it's after effects on society. Riveting and heartbreaking. Not a film to be missed.

[@susanlansdell863]

jay pee a real favourite of mine (if favourite is the appropriate word).x

[@shugaroony]

Threads is one of the most gruelling, harrowing films of them all. The way the narrator coldly reads out the stats as we see the devastation caused, is almost too much.

[@neilpower60]

Threads is on KZbin, or the American version, the day after

[@mikegrossberg8624]

The Day After was idiotic. Obviously made by a bunch of Hollywood liberals. The scene where one of the characters, from rural Kansas, looks with disgust at a rifle(showing that he's anti-gun, in a place where firearms are common), is one example. Another is where the farmer, played by Ralph Waite, apologizes to a band of squatters while one of them sneaks up behind him and blows him away with a shotgun, is another. Pretty damn stupid not to be watching his back when facing potentially dangerous strangers

[@mikegrossberg8624]

Another film in that genre is "War Games" by Peter Weir

[@philip6419]

'Outland'.. The 'Hidden'.. 1964 'Time Travelers'!.. 'Logans Run'.. 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'.. 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' .. YEA!

No Solaris from Tarkovsky?

[@runningwithshemp]

I hadn't seen that, I just added to list on Netflix, will watch in next week or so. Thanks Midas Baijense. BTW I've seen "Kin-dza-dza!" it made zero sense, 100 percent lost in translation. "KUUU........"

[@chiffmonkey]

Stalker is quite well known now because of the game of the same name (both are derived from Roadside Picnic).

[@alexeypopov314]

Stanislaw Lem HATED Tarkovsky. Because the very scene you should watch the movie, the last one, turns the idea of the original book upside down.I personally side with Lem.

[@alexeypopov314]

Midas Baijense Solaris definitely. Roadside Picknic I'm not a big fan of it myself. The movie differs a lot, it borrows the idea but not the settings.

[@JackhammerJesus]

Solaris and Contact are my two favorite books.

[@eiszapfenderwutendenwinde3233]

I'd say, *Predestination* was also a movie, the majority did not saw. Yes, the first 20 min. are boring. Because it is only talk and basically a long retrospect/backsight of the most important character in the movie. But if you manage to go past that very crucial story element. And if you understand how the plot twist came to be. It's nothing short of amazing...

[@ajoliver74]

Predestination is a fantastic movie that I would bet most people haven’t seen and is a SciFi masterpiece, that was so ver underated

[@spaceman081447]

Predestination was adapted from the short story "--- All You Zombies ---" written by Robert A, Heinlein.

[@carystallings6068]

My favorite Time travel movie!

[@caronstout354]

The only worthy adaptation of any Heinlein story/book.

[@morrismckinnon6047]

I remember watching a movie years ago, around the early 90's, I can't remember much about it but the story was based on a failing sweet factory run by two brothers. They get into a fight and one of them falls into the machine that makes these sweets. He's about to close the factory down but suddenly the sweet sales start picking up and people can't get enough of the product, he eventually figures out that it must have been the body that changed the flavour. He go's out one night and robs a body from the mortuary to throw in the machine so he can keep his factory open, but this time it doesn't work. People start throwing up and sales start dropping again worse then before. He then realises his victims have to be alive when thrown in the machine, so he then starts luring back people to his factory, and guess what? sales are back up and the movie is just one big on the edge of your seat suspense fest! He ends up in the machine himself in the end but for the life of me I just can't remember the name of the film.

[@sd-wc9ep]

Sounds super interesting

[@morrismckinnon6047]

The film is just a popcorn flick, a sheer entertainment. There is nothing much deeper to it.

[@OreadNYC]

One movie that definitely deserves to be on this list in my opinion is the time-travel film "Predestination." Anyone with a legitimate claim to be a science-fiction movie fan has definitely seen "Soylent Green" and "Westworld."

[@WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

Cool list. Surprised Primer wasn't mentioned. I'd add the films Seconds, Gattaca, Never Let Me Go, A Scanner Darkly and Dark Star. Also, I recently watched a film called Mother Night - an adaptation of a Kurt Vonnegut novel. It's not overtly Science ficiton-y but it's well worth checking out if you're into Vonnegut's stuff. :)

[@WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

Yeah, it's really great. I was just talking about movies the other day with a friend and it randomly came up......haven't seen it in a long while, I actually forgot how enjoyable it is ha. :)

[@Vank4o]

WatchMojo actually made a good list? What is this madness?!

[@Vank4o]

illyounotme edgy.

[@relm.5934]

+illyounotme i would agree but I think WatchMojo meant it for the new generations and not the older folks because, you see, these films grossed a lot during their eras which says a lot about the films. Apparently, most of us have heard of these titles but have not seen the actual movies. So most probably they were aiming this video for us, the new gen.

[@chiffmonkey]

Are you telling me that most older generation sci fi fans have seen Los Cronocrimines (Timecrimes) ? Because I wouldn't believe you.

[@chiffmonkey]

'well known' isn't the point of this video. Soylent Green being the perfect example.

[@jimscribner8314]

Virtually every science fiction film about a future where a decadent ruling class wants to kill off its workers and replace them with machines like say Blade Runner or the television series Caprica is essentially a remake of Metropolis. It was after all the first major science fiction film. A Boy and His Dog was a pretty sick movie I hope never gets remade, Feeding your girlfriend to a talking dog is an ending only a Gay serial killer would enjoy or consider a cool idea.

[@courteousmongoose643]

Roger Ebert is a prat. Brazil is utterly mesmerising - one of the best films ever made. Top 5, easily.

Forbidden Planet is one of the best sci-fi movies ever. Some of the themes and concepts in the movie are mind blowing, even by today's standards. And the special effects still hold up pretty well today.

What about Flash Gordon. Ridiculously excellent.

[@boredom2go]

One of the best. With all the junk they've rebooted or remade in Hollywood, I simply can't believe they haven't touched Flash Gordon. That story is just begging for some amazing CGI greatness.

[@Mr22thou]

And, what about "Flesh Gordon?"

[@bobsobol]

Flash Gordon is an excellent action movie, it's not good Sci-Fi. There is _very little_ about it which makes you stop and think about the future of technology, or the current state and potential misconception of our contemporary society. It's the Star Trek vs. Star Wars argument. Star Wars is awesome, but it's still just space cowboys, where Star Trek is a bit more hit and miss, but when it hits the grey matter, it hits hard and makes you question so much about your own life, and social environment. Event the futuristic technology in Star Wars is mystified to the extent that it may as well be magic. (some of which is corrected if you read the excellent off-cute novels, but still) Why do lasers move slower than light in Star Wars? What is a Lightsabre made out of, and how does it hold it's shape. (an energised crystal, and "the Force energy of it's wielder" if you read the side novels ... but that doesn't explain how non-Force-sensitives manage to use the sabres in the films) Why is there friction in space? etc. etc. etc. The technology in Star Trek is meticulously researched and theoretically possible. Much of it to the extent that unimaginable technology used in the show when it first aired is common place technology _today_, from hand-held wireless voice communicators (mobile phones) to the Tricorder technology which can analyse internal injuries without X-Rays or invasive surgery. (though we still don't have hand-held versions of those, they were unimagined at the time) Even complete fantasy substances which fill over the "we just don't know yet" parts have highly defined properties, such as Dilitium Crystals. There's no such thing, but we know what the fictional premise is. No, Flash Gordon has a place on a list of great films, but it's not _this_ list of great films.

[@DementedCaver]

If you are talking about that early 80's movie....it isn't really that awesome. Rocking soundtrack though.....and the way Ming exits is excellent.

Does Naked Lunch really count? Its a directors reconfiguration of a non-scifi novel spliced with the origional authors biography.
