Ok, this isn't my list but I do agree with a few of the choices (especially #10).  But I will say all of the movies on this list are worth seeing.  Take a look...

Silent running was pretty sad.  I was all pumped about showing my kids and they thought it was depressing.  :)  Well I liked it, and I own the DVD anyway!  So there! :P

I loved the little robots.   :r2d2  They had such a cool little waddle.  :)

Not really a kids movie, but I like the message of the film.

I'm also a fan of Gattica, very interesting and well acted.

I loved Silent Running but I don't really know why.

I caught it one evening at home (years ago when living with my parents) and didn't know what it was until it came round again a couple of years later.

Great film but very sad. I loved the robots too :)

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

Wasn't it Huey, Dewey and Louie?

Yep - 3 of them.  A guy on the Prop Forum has actually been making a drone from "Silent Running" from scratch at full 1:1 scale.  I'll try and find his posts and grab a few pictures of where he is at with it.

I like Silent Running a lot! The only other two on the list I would agree with are Enemy Mine and Sleeper, although Sleeper is kind of questionable as sci-fi. I have always looked at it as a satire comedy. The rest of the films I could do without. I don't know why anyone would put the 1993 Invasion of the Body Snatchers on the list! Sheesh! :eekout
