British newspaper The Guardian asked a panel of scientists to give their views on science fiction films and books and vote for the top 10 sci-fi films. First five are:
1. Blade Runner (1982) Dir: Ridley Scott
2. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) Dir: Stanley Kubrick
3. Star Wars (1977)/Empire Strikes Back (1980)
4. Alien (1979) Dir: Ridley Scott
5. Solaris (1972) Dir: Andrei Tarkovsky
For details and number 6 to 10.
Another recent poll, by the readers of Film Review magazine this time, voted Barbarella as sci-fi’s sexiest female character.
