Best Science Fiction Films of All Time

So I'm not entirely sure what led me to make a list of science fiction movies. To be honest, it's not my favorite genre, and I'm not particularly interested in writing sci-fi. Still, there are some AMAZING movies out there that deal with aliens, space, time travel, genetics, and the supernatural. What's most impressive about these films, though, is their humanity. And in some cases, their ability to prove ass-kicking entertainment.

This list is divided into two parts. The first part includes movies which mostly take place on Earth, and the second half is made up of those that occur mainly in space/alternate universe. And so, without further ado, the greatest science fiction films of all time:

TOP 10-ON EARTH
1. Blade Runner
2. Gattaca
3. Close Encounters of the Third Kind
4. The Matrix
5. Jurassic Park
6. Back to the Future
7. Terminator 2: Judgment Day
8. Predator
9. Planet of the Apes
10. Robocop

TOP 10-IN SPACE
1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
3. Aliens
4. WALL-E
5. Total Recall

10. The 5th Element
