Rolling Stone picks The 150 Greatest Science Fiction Movies of All Time. So much to argue with re: the rankings (like why Jurassic Park is rated so low), but also so much to put on the watchlist.

Definitely added a few I wasn't familiar with. But strange to see so many errors and typos in a 3-day old online piece. Do they not employ fact-checkers and proofreaders any more? "Alan Rudyk," "Andrew Wilson," "narratuve"? Is A.I. writing this stuff?
Starship Troopers lands at no. 11 here...
I had the same reaction when I read it.
"I can't believe they ranked X this high/low!"
and
"Oh! Never heard of that one! Added to my watchlist"
Plenty of room to quibble about placement, inclusion, etc., but if anyone disputes whether #1 deserves to be #1, we can step into an alternate universe and have a good ol' fashioned, no-holds-barred frank exchange of views.

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation..
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
