I often think Entertainment Weekly is a crock of shit, but they've actually put together a darn fine list of great sci-fi. Sure we could haggle about the ordering until the cows come home, but there's a lot to love here. Anyone have any write-ins?

Personally, I would definitely include The Fifth Element on this list.

How the hell is Alien or Aliens not on this list?!?!

I've got a write OUT.

the matrix is a joke and doesn't belong anywhere near this list.

x-files should probably move up a few notches as well.
