Perhaps for all intents and purposes, we exclude most of them(the superhero ones). And to that extent, exclude Star Wars too. Let’s try to shine the spotlight on movies that are more of a true Sci-Fi

I would like to see what my favorite sci-fi looks like without SW or CBM's involved. if I added them, some Star Wars and Avengers 3 & 4 would automatically go to the top

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with running more of an explicitly “top 100 Sci-Fi that aren’t part of a mega-franchise” though, if that’s what people are more interested in seeing.

Or  we could have a limit on number of films per franchise. That would prevent too much cluttering.

Well... superhero movies: NO. Different genre, all of them should be excluded even if they have sci-fi elements

But Star Wars, obviously yes. It is the ultimate science-fiction movie franchise (space opera).

 

My 2cents (and I don't really do rankings anyway), if SW is excluded to include lesser known SF movies instead that's fine too.

I'd be okay with Star Wars being included, it is Sci-Fi (and Fantasy). but I agree Superhero is a genre all of it's own and should have it's own countdown anyways.

Yeah and we did a Superhero/CBM movie countdown already.

As long as I can put Alien at Number One, I'm happy.

Honestly, I feel like this is a super complicated question that will allow for nitpicking.  Cause is Star Wars science fiction or is is a space opera?

'Space opera' is a subgenre of science fiction, everything space opera is automatically SF.

But in that case why wouldn't Guardians be included as it's also a space opera in the SW mold.

B/c it's space opera 2nd, superhero 1st...

 

Star Wars is space opera 1st...

 

So, it's easy to distinguish that supers movies are their own genre 1st...

What's the difference in Star Wars except that the superheroes are called Jedi? 

[75Live]

My call is I guess exclude superhero stuff but I get the argument why they could be there.  My main reason as someone said already is there was already a list for those specifically. 

 

But I'm good either way 

[Legion Again]

I’m fine with both yes or both no, but the only SW option is frankly very silly. “TROS is sci-fi but GotG isn’t” is a pretty tough position to defend.

Should Star Wars and Superhero movies be allowed in the Sci-Fi countdown?

 

Like for yes. Thanks for no. Disbelief for SW only.

Yes Star Wars, no to superhero unless it's something like Guardians of the Galaxy 

[Water Bottle]

The real question is Bond sci-fi? He does go to space and has a space battle in one movie. Plus all his gadgets.

There are sci fi elements but I wouldn't consider them sci fi movies except maybe Moonraker.

[grey ghost]

I think anything where aliens or A.I. play a major part should count as sci fi.

 

That would include Avenger movies, Star Wars movies, Guardians of the Galaxy movies and most Superman movies but exclude most superhero movies..

Mmm yeah, I don’t see how you can exclude some CBMs. If they have science-fiction content, they fall into the SF genre.

[TwoMisfits]

So, you all are gonna make me finally send in a list...and put Galaxy Quest #1 if the only element it has to have is any sci fi element:)...

 

No more rewatchable sci fi than that movie:)...

This is your way of saying vote for Invasion Of The Body Snatchers?  Who are you? 😘

 

[grey ghost]

Though Into the Spider-verse is also scifi. 

 

Futuristic technology plays a major role.
