dierna Member	# Posted: 20 Jun 2008 00:28 Reply Quoting: polson I haven't seen 90% of these films. And I haven't heard of about 80% of em L
korny Member	# Posted: 26 Jun 2008 11:14 Reply The Sci-fi one just pissed me off. 2001:A Space Odessey was a major snoozefest. I was actually yelling at the television, "What about Close Encounters of the Third Kind?!" Bah. But I seriously yayed about Vertigo. That is one amazing movie.
polson Member	# Posted: 26 Jun 2008 13:04 Reply I've only seen 3 of the sci fi movies. I'm just seriously offended there's no Star Trek on there. I mean, I can see them overlooking The Motion Picture, but the Voyage Home was golden.
alane Member	# Posted: 26 Jun 2008 14:17 Reply 2001 A Space Odyssey is genius......and where is Citizen Kane, The Sting or The Seven Samurai...(also they should have a Cool category)
