Metropolis is the best movie ever made in my opinion. I believe it had the biggest budget a movie had for a long time, too. Great sci-fi movie and is probably more influential than 2001. There is a lot of elements that are familiar in today's sci-fi, such as the bridge between science and religion and the fight against the close-minded politicians. I would love to see the most recent version that was shown earlier this year with 30 minutes of extra footage.

2001 is a great movie, too. I would say that it is a technical tie between that and Metropolis on my list of greatest movies.

District 9 is the best sci-fi movie of the last decade. Everything about it was so well done. It was great to finally see a mech done right in a live-action setting, too. I hope to see more from Neil Blomkamp in the future.
