97) Stargate (1994)
The movie that sparked off 10 years of SG-1, 5 seasons of Atlantis and the upcoming Stargate: Universe, Roland Emmerich’s movie scores due to a simple but clever concept and inventive effects.

The site’s top 5 movies are: Blade Runner, 2001; A Space Odyssey, Star Wars, Alien, and Metropolis. Visit Sci-Fi Online to compare your favorites to theirs!
