Wow!!!

What happens if you can't remember who distributed a film? I suppose you have to look it up online.
Or just look at the case!

But if the case is shelved correctly you won't know where it is as you won't know who distributed it without looking online.

I organise my Blu collection by distributor online (to a degree) too (click the Blu-ray link in my sig) so yes, I have a back-up plan just in case.

I've just finished re-organsing and filling all my new shelves so everything is in order and easily accessible now too.

I don't think there's a bad film among those i listed both in and out of the top 10.

I suppose Earth Girls are Easy is the most contentious entry but i really enjoy it for some reason.

I'm not at all a fan of The Running Man (I had a mini-rant about it in the Stephen King thread somewhere...), plus have yet to see The Final Countdown, but all the rest are enjoyable to varying degrees.

Plus, staples of the genre they may well be but personal preference means that Back to the Future / Star Trek / Star Wars films would be very unlikely to make it into any of my top lists.

Default listomania

Right o I,ve made three lists , 80's sci-fi, 90's sci-fi and combined best of list which was only worked out by which of them I watch regularly. I made a few rules for myself based on a few posts on here i kept sci-fi actioners to a bare minimum, sci-fi horrors that fell largely on horror side such as re-animator (one of my favourite films) were put to one side , as well as schlocky sci-fi invasion flicks like killer clowns, night of the creeps, deadly spawn etc (these really need their own list coz i love em). Although Mars Attacks snuck through. I found trimming 80's list painful and found the 90's to be a bit of a slim pickings if I am honest.

THE 80'S

10) Back to the future : good solid timeless fun
09) videodrome: Cronenberg had to go on and although I prefer the fly and the brood this a more sci-fi than them. Long live the new flesh!
08) Brazil: a beautiful retro nightmare of a film, so bloody british and depressing as f**K
07) The Empire Strikes Back: the perfect star wars film never bettered by further entries in the franchise
06) Dune : I dont care what anyone says ,great film
05) Blade runner: dirty , cold ,future noir , Rutger Hauer is superb
04) Aliens: big monsters , big guns , androids, gore, Ripley still is ultimate heroine for me.
03) the thing: could'nt have this list without Carpenter, a truly alien creature.
02) Mad Max 2: mythic, punk, post apocalyptic, western?? love it
01) Robocop: the eighties had balls , this film has action, satire , gore , compare it to the remake and it shows how much of a wet fart moder big budget genre cinema is these days, i am a massive 2000ad fan and admittedly this rips off a lot from Judge Dredd (although robocop is a lot less machine like tha Dredd ironically)

THE 90'S

10) Event Horizon: It falls like a tetris bock very neatly in the sci-fi /horror category giving plenty of room for both genres , Sam Neill steals this
09) Nemesis: a not so guilty pleasure , it seems to have every loner/hero cliche in the book and makes me laugh a lot.
08) the matrix: ignore the awful sequels ,great film would have been higher on my list but will get to that later.
07) accion mutante: like robocop this has a strong 2000ad vibe to it , underrated film.
06) total recall, Arnie plus Verhoven plus Philip K Dick = a lot of fun
05) the fifth element : a gorgeous , screwball space opera
04) starship troopers: very sly satire and the cgi still holds up
03) dark city:the Matrix's sleazy gothic twin and for those reasons alone its the betterfilm for me.
02) mars attacks: screw independance day , this should get a sequel , Burton was blatantly trying to pull a strangelove. ACK ACK ACK ACK!
01) Terminator 2: Judgement Day , I was 11 when this came out and it left it's mark, just a juggernaut of a film .

Combined list

10) Blade Runner
09) Aliens
08) Empire strikes back
07) starship troopers
06) dark city
05) mars attacks
04) Terminator 2
03) The Thing
02) Mad Max 2
01) Robocop
