Reader Top Ten Science Fiction Films: William Johnson at The Paxton Configuration


William Johnson is the great blogger at The Paxton Configuration, and a dear friend.  He's got a great sense of humor, and a way with words.  At his blog, he now posts his Top Ten list, so check it out to get all the explanations and descriptions.

Here's the list in short:

1. Blade Runner (1982)
2. Aliens (1986)
3. Contact (1997)
4. Planet of the Apes (1968)
5. Back to the Future (1985)
6. Alien (1979)
7. Terminator 2 (1991)
8. Galaxy Quest (1999)
9. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)
10.Robocop (1987).

I like the unconventional selection of The Voyage Home (1986) in this list, and make note that three directors split the lion's share of the selections: James Cameron, Ridley Scott and Robert Zemeckis.
