Speak Up!- Best “Out of Your World”Fiction/Film
About three weeks ago, while on a panel at MilehiCon, this particular subject came up, and I thought it would make a really cool blog.
What is the best “Out of Your World” film/fiction?
This question was posed to one of the panels I was on in Denver. Of course, it does depend soley on what your defintion of "out of your world" means. Our list was quite incomplete, so I’m asking you. So Speak up!
Here's a partial list of what I think are the best "Out of Your World" films. Feel free to weigh in and of course, disagree!
10. Starship Troopers
9. Red Planet
8. Mission to Mars
7. Pitch Black
6. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
5. 2001: A Space Odyssey
4. Star Wars
3. The Matrix
2. The Crow-The Original with Brandon Lee
1. Lord of the Rings
As you can see from my list, the genre is totally speculative and not science fiction or fantasy one way or another. I will be posting the fiction I think is the best out of this world, but let's hear your comments on the movies I selected.
I do realize I may be updating and rearranging this list based on your comments. I'm sure I missed some really good ones.
Ooh, ooh, I have some:
Bladerunner
Clockwork Orange
Donnie Darko
Strange Days
12 Monkeys
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (oldie but goodie)
Alien
And you lumped Star Wars into one (but yet not Harry)!?! All right, I admit it, I would have done the same. :-)
Now that I have truly shown myself as a geek and a movie whore, I'll stop. GREAT Post.

Totally, Blade Runner is an all time favorite. I left out Highlander and 12 Monkeys though Strange Days didn't do it for me.
