Brazil. A damn good movie with fantastic acting, and the ending really effs you up.

I love blade runner - particularly the director’s cut - it has a beautiful feel to it - but its also darkly disturbing

Don’t know if I can agree when it comes to the choice of Donnie Darko, but otherwise a great list of superb movies… Where’s this blog been hiding? heh heh…

Oh, and very glad to see Blade Runner Topping the list

who knows just how accurate clockwork was compared to the red fin diary though?

Oops! I didn’t realize that you had made anti-hijacking changes to Top Commentator that would keep me from hacking it like this. Darn!

That’s a great list! I remember the first time I ever saw A Clockwork Orange - Kubrick’s amazing. The weirdness of it and totally shocking, even despite the age of the film (I saw it in 1997).. Made me want to get into movies THAT much more when I saw a film that bizarre.

Thanks Mike,

Blade Runner is kind of a stylistic movie so it gets kind of slow between action sequences. I guess it depends on what you’re expecting out of the movie.

Someone else had mentioned Dark City earlier. It’s on my ‘must see’ list.

One movie I didn’t mention in the list was John Carpenter’s low budget college project Dark Star. It’s more of a dark sci-fi comedy. The beachball alien mascot is hilarious.

Frank, I love this list…

I got kind of bored in Blade Runner, but I know it’s hugely popular.

You know they are remaking Metropolis don’t you?

Also, one that I’d have on this list somehow, somewhat, is Dark City. Have you seen it? A great dark sci-fi film that most people never heard of.

Dark City is definitely a must-see. One of the most original and greatest concepts I’ve ever seen in a movie, SF or otherwise. And I’ve seen a lot of movies. =P

Otherwise, great list!

Hi Albo,

I did consider the Terminator movies but I think of them more as FX and action oriented SF movies than dark SF. That’s why I didn’t include the Matrix series as well.

I needed to draw a line somewhere I guess. If I moved it just a little bit to allow more action/FX sequences I would have to include both the Terminator and Matrix series in the list.
