Attention Sci Fi Geeks

[misplaced_ice]

My awesome fellow sci-fi fans. I need your help.

What are your ideas for iconic sci-fi films from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s?
An iconic film from each decade.
With the exception of Star Wars

Preferably ones that aren't too obscure :)

Thanks :)

Soylent Green and Planet of the Apes are the first two that spring to my mind...

[anarchangel23]

Are you excepting the Terminator series as well?

Including Slosh's suggestions.

Planet of the Apes and 2001: A Space Odyssey (both 1968).

Soylent Green (1973), Close encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Alien (1979)

Bladerunner (1982), Aliens (1986). I think everyone who was a kid in the 80s has a soft spot for The Last Starfighter (1984)

Stargate (1994), Ghost in the Shell (1995)

Pitch Black (2000)

Also, check out Wikipedia & Google

I know I have a soft spot for the Last Starfighter. That and the Dark Crystal.

Logan's Run and Tron.

Since Sci-Fi is such a broad topic, here's a few from each decade... some for general sci-fi tone/reflection of society at the time, some for special effects, and some that were just HUGE movies.

70s (aside from Star Wars, of course): Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Alien, Clockwork Orange, Mad Max, Superman

80s: Bladerunner, Aliens, Terminator, Predator, Tron, Back to the Future

90s: The Matrix, Terminator 2, Men in Black, Jurassic Park

00s: Pitch Black, 28 Days Later, X-Men, Spiderman, Batman: Dark Knight, V for Vendetta, (Watchmen?)

Are you also excepting the Star Trek Films? There are at least a couple for each of those decades.

Maybe also add Robocop, Starship Troopers and E.T.
