63. Forbidden Planet is thle best science fiction movie ever made.

Not because of the silliness of the crew members kissing Altaira, not because of the silliness involving the cook and the robot making 60 gallons of hootch for him. Where that movie is, in my humble opinion, the most profound, the deepest, the most intelligent science fiction ever filmed, is in the artifacts of the ancient Krell civilization, the way the humans in the movie interact with those artifacts, and the mystery of the source of the invisible force loose on the planet. My favorite line in the movie: "We're all monsters in our subconscious, so we have laws and religion!" I've seen that movie so many times that I find myself silently mouthing the lines along with the characters, and yet, when it comes on TV, I end up watching it again. I can't not watch it. I see parallels between it and the Star Trek TV series too. I am sure it was at least a partial inspiration for that series.

I'd like to nominate one other science fiction movie, just because I'm sure nobody else will. It is a foreign film and as such, it would also fit into a category of best foreign films. It's not marketed or promoted as a science fiction film either, but it is nevertheless science fiction, because the title phenomenon could not possibly be explained by anything other than a non-human technology. It is a German film made about 12 years ago called The Wall. It's about isolation and coping, and the psychological effects thereof. It's brilliant and fascinating. Like Forbidden Planet, I can't get tired of it no matter how many times I've seen it. The actress who is the central character should have won an Oscar. I think you can watch it for free with ads on YouTube.

Some of my other science fiction favorites:
War of the Worlds (1953, not that awful remake)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951, not that awful remake)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (both the 1956 and 1978 versions)
The Fly (1959, not that awful remake)
2001, A Space Odyssey
Run, Lola, Run (a relentless 80-minute roller coaster ride, also a foreign film)
