OK. I try to be reasonably tolerant of lists that don't coincide with my own tastes. But to do a list of all time greatest sci-fi movies that includes such dubious entries as Dark Star and Logan's Run, but omit the grandaddy of steampunk sci-fi, the 1954 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is entirely absurd. This, apparently, underremembered film essentially the created the genre of 19th century sci-fi adventure. In fact, the other classics based on Jule Verne and HG Wells novels are missing from this list: The Time Machine (1960), War of the Worlds (1952), most notably.
The Time Machine (1960) is nearly unwatchable. If I had a vhs of it, I would have made the time lapses go even faster. Logan's Run is bad, but the Dark Star is a friggin riot and deserves to be on any list and especially on a sci-fi one.

It's safe to say an update of this would include Gravity and Interstellar. Hope we get a new version one day.
