Too bad we didn't get Back to the Future II nominated, that's really my favorite, I feel it's a much better movie, but also the time travel aspect is much more complex with alternative timelines and going back to the first film. Just awesome stuff.

Yeah, we should have hoverboards and flying cars by next year.
And sneakers with power laces. And self-drying clothes.
And the ability to cook a pizza in seconds.
"Hydrate level four, please."
I think all of that stuff might actually happen before the Cubs win the WS.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
If the reason we don't have weather control and portable fusion is that Marty changed the timeline, then he had better be one damn fine guitarist by now!
Agreed. I'm a huge fan of Children of Men. I know some people that couldn't stomach District 9 because they hate seafood and they said the aliens reminded them of shrimp (they were called prawns). That didn't bother me, then again I love shrimp.

Only 26 people votes here so far, while other polls have 30-31 voters. At least a couple more Nausicaä votes are in order, people!
I didn't find District 9 to be overly gory. The fingernail scene...okay, I'll give that to the gore but when it comes to the action stuff I thought the gore was gritty and realistic and really helped the documentary aspect of the film. What keeps me coming back to District 9 is the allegory...best sci-fi allegory since Fantastic Planet imo.Agreed. I'm a huge fan of Children of Men.

So you agree with me that it's built into the film's appeal. The matter of opinion is just whether gritty faux documentary is an especially favorable style. And to reiterate, I acknowledge the main allegory is somewhat redeeming, but I more admire Children of Men handling the issues with a slightly finer touch.
All that matters is that Back to the Future has one more vote since I last checked the polls.
*bump
this poll is closing tomorrow!!
This poll is now closed.
The following films will be moving on
Island of Lost Souls
Pi
Edge of Tomorrow
Solaris
District 9
Back to the Future I
Too bad that Pi moves on instead of Nausicaä, since it's not really sci-fi - not that I want to restart that conversation again, but at least Nausicaä got another vote before being eliminated.
Well Pi is more a fictional film about the science of mathematics and all the answers understanding that math can offer. I consider it science fiction it's just very, very realistic sci-fi imo.

Why wouldn't it, it's one of the best sci-fi movies of all time, surely.

I was surprised because I didn't think many people had seen it
