I love a close poll. I voted for Gattaca, currently winning by one vote. To raise the stakes, I shall remove my support for Gattaca. Now it's tied, 92-92, and I'm a swing vote. Court me. 🗳️🙂

2026-01-20 13:04:06 +0000 UTCPeople who love Sunshine are somewhat evangelical about it (myself included), but I suspect fewer people have even seen it compared to the other two—it disappeared from theaters immediately. And then, among people who HAVE seen it, there's a pretty sharp divide on the film's third act. I suspect we'll get to it eventually, but I don't know what kind of poll it will ever win.

2026-01-01 00:49:00 +0000 UTCBack when it was still new, I fell asleep watching Samurai Jack on Toonami, and when I woke up around 2am, the TV was still on, but it was the ending of Akira and I had never seen such anime in my life. It took me years to finally figure out the name of it and it's been my favorite anime film since.

2026-01-01 00:43:17 +0000 UTCThis is one of those polls where I had to be honest and vote for, I think 7 different movies on the list. But Gattaca is winning at the moment and I love that, it's really a favorite of mine and I think an underrated classic. But it's all wins this category.

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for both Repo Man and Brazil! They are wonderful! I suppose Trip to the Moon (1902) is really the first sci-fi movie, but Metropolis is part of the beginning of sci-fi cinema, and it's a masterpiece.
