Well yes, but the trilogy is so magnificently scary as a whole.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Well yes, but the trilogy is so magnificently scary as a whole.
So many votes for Alien, which was gonna be my number 1 or 2 in the sci-fi category.
If you placed SciFi before Horror, Alien and Aliens would've still topped my list
OH I agree and you must watch the 3rd for completeness, I just wish it were a better film.
Some interesting choices in there. You scared of The Middle East and medical professionals?
Anywho;
- Alien
- Halloween
- Omen
- The orphanage
- Scream
auto correct on phone, never noticed.
There’s lots of films that can be read two ways? Alien could be a scary sci-fi or a horror film that happens to be set in space (it’s the latter)
Alien
Scream
Near Dark
Jaws
The VVitch
Dont consider myself a horror fan, but this was tough, left out some favourites, so honourable mentions to Get Out, Hellraiser (both, the recent release was solid), Dawn of the Dead, Ravenous, could go on and on

My Sci-Fi is going to be another tough one, like horror so many to pick from.
It's the opposite for me. I can barely think of 5 sci-fi that I like. In fact, 4 of the 5 in that category for me are horror movies in a sense
There is lots of Sci-Fi that also could be horror.It's the opposite for me. I can barely think of 5 sci-fi that I like. In fact, 4 of the 5 in that category for me are horror movies in a sense
Star Wars, Jurassic Park , Back to the Future all come under Sci-Fi for me
Then there is the Abyss, Star Trek, Planet of the Apes Total Recall, They Live ( best fight scene in any film) The fly , Escape from New York and quite a few more
1. The Silence of the Lambs
2. Jaws
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street
4. The Blair Witch Project
5. Michael Jacksons Thriller
2. Jaws
3. A Nightmare on Elm Street

That sort of stuff was inevitable. Let's say you'd have put sci-fi before action, there's a good chance Terminator 2 would've made it and we'd have an extra action movie make the list as a result.
Alien will qualify from this round (looks certain) so that frees up a spot for sci-fi, which is another stacked genre for me. I can live with that!
I predict Empire Strikes Back to get in, but probably none of the rest. But you never know on here.
My money is on about three Star Wars films and maybe some Nolan bullshit with time travel and loud music.
Star Wars yes, Tenet not seen it. Avatar dreadful.Star wars x3, Tenet, Avatar
100% in my top 5, the other 2 not quite, the rest dont even make top 50
If that happens... I will cancel the contest.Star wars x3, Tenet, Avatar
I’d predict A New Hope just slipping in at #5 without Alien and T2 that will already be in to consolidate around and the Blade Runners splitting votes.
Something like this or some such
- The Matrix
- SW: Empire Strikes Back
- 2001
- Interstellar
- SW: A New Hope

Next and Knowing are both cool, didn't even have them in mind for SciFi, though
Knowing , strange spaceships , kids sent to another planet, definably Sci-Fi for me.
Next more of a thriller
2001 apart from the odd bit , does nothing for me.
Horrors are not exactly my cup of tea but lets try:
1. The Fly
2. The Shinning
3. Dead Ringers
4. The Brood
5. Sleep Tight
1. The Fly
2. The Shinning
3. Dead Ringers

A horror film where the murderer kills people by repeatedly kicking them in the shin. Brutal way to go!
Starring Antonio Valencia.
Indeed. Can you imagine the mayhem? Bloody limbs all over the place (Neymar would be the first victim).
Garbage?
Presume you mean all the money grabbing shite they made after the first three… and not the first three? (well two)
The Thing (Carpenter)
Don't Look Now
Night of the Living Dead
The Exorcist
Suspiria (2018 remake)

This was such an underrated movie. It's brilliant.
1. Evil Dead
2. Get out
3. Let the right one in (Original)
4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
5. The Shining

I have tried to watch and enjoy this, but I just can't get into it.
take the first 3 out of it and TBH garbage is not far from the mark.
They were as you say , just made for the money.
Empire Strikes Back is the best, New Hope and Return of the Jedi are both very good.
The Shining
Fright Night (1985)
Sinister
An American Werewolf in London
Nightmare on Elm Street

That gave me the same recurring nightmare for years as a kid!
Notwithstanding the latest trilogy being a replot of ANH, Emprire and RotJ, I thought they were OK some ropey casting and people floating through space aside. The prequel trilogy are garbage for sure.
Interstellar is going to win the next category. Would bet on it.
