It was actually really hard to pick the 10 for this week, but here are your choices! I think this might be a close one

Dune is the 2021 version.

Arrival is so good!

armday

If you watched dune you’d have to watch part 2 as well which is even better, klaire. Then dune 3 comes out this year

Randall_Flagg

Are we talking the 1980s Dune or the new 2 part ones. I'd recommend the 80s version first

David Edwards

Very, very surprised Interstellar didn’t make this list ngl

Randall_Flagg

Also there are many versions of Blade runner. The one that says "Final cut" is the best most complete director's vision

Rune Gade Larsson

How to choose, all of these movies are so damn good 😭

klaire

i said in the post that i had seen it already, 12 people still submitted it 😅

Brian Sheely

Holy shit… I shocked Interstellar didn’t even make the list given the fact it was nominated for 5 Academy Awards and made $750,000,000.

klaire

klaire

the new one i guess

David Edwards

Fair enough. It didn’t make the final list but in the future I highly recommend The Martian. The book is great, but I love the movie, it’s such a feel good epic and has been praised for its realistic approach to the science involved

armday

It’s so good i promise 😂

Brian Sheely

Oh that’s on me then. I somehow missed that. I’m happy that Dune and Ex Machina are on the list because I would have submitted one of those instead

Aaron Hinton

My submission was a toss up between Interstellar and Inception. Went with Inception. Did not see that Interstellar had already been watched.

klaire

thats okay you werent the only one!

Artanis

I'm absolutely amazed as a new patreon how many people don't seem to read the things you post lol. That said this a great list of films within the genre, there's a few other notable ones I'd add but out of 10, this is a pretty solid set of options.

Artanis

As a longtime Dune fan I don't really think the 80s version is necessary, and frankly it would likely get very few views by comparison (not suggesting anything about its quality). I think the new ones is the beat path, the first two are our, by one of the best directors of our time, Denis Villenueve, and the third is on its way to complete the trilogy so it's good timing as well. I think with those more niche Dune contents (the 80s film, the old TV series etc.) it probably makes more sense to watch those in personal time if you get super into Dune, but that's just my personal opinion to be clear.

Artanis

This is one of those few cases I've never seen people not say it's worth it. Dune inspired a lot of the scifi genre and reproduced in a great way by one of the best directors and one of the most highly reputed cinematographer of the last few decades. All these films in the list are great though.

Pascal

Dune would be sooo good

Randall_Flagg

understood, but the old one, a little cheesy, does have its strengths. Sir Patrick Stewart for example (X-Men, Star Trek) , and 80s rock legend Sting, with his shirt off, for most of his scenes.. see, I'm just sayin hehe

Brian Sheely

Tenet would have been an interesting choice. I think it’s as good as all the other Christopher Nolan films. However, the plot is extremely complex. I’m not sure anyone understands it completely after just watching it once. Nolan plays with time in almost all of his films. In Tenet, he manipulates entropy which is what restricts time to only one direction.

Alexander Bond

It's a good list overall, but I'm just hoping the current leader Dune doesn't win. Yeah, it's got great cinematography and effects, but it's a pretty slow ponderous watch. I'm generally not into grand sci-fi where the overarching worldbuilding is given more importance that a compelling story or characters.

Mik

Voted for Dune myself but still, im surprised blade runner is so low!

CaveMan

can i vote for them all? 😃

MoShou

I like Dune but we are gonna make her watch Dune before the Matrix? 😂

Scott S

Lots of great picks, whatever wins we all win :)

Alexander Bond

To each his own I suppose, but it wouldn't be fair to make anyone sit though that. Nolan is the epitome of style and concept over substance. He has talent, but tends to go mental when given 200 million budgets. Memento is aso a concept movie, but because of the low budget he had to restrain himself, and it's great.

Brian Sheely

Everything Nolan does is highly rated by both critics and the general public. Tenet is no exception. It was nominated for 2 Academy Awards. That fact alone makes it worth watching. Though I agree that it’s too complex for some viewers.

Karl

I don't rate Tenet either personally. Felt like inception, high concept but just reliant on a gimmick with a nonsensical plot.

Karl

This is actually a really high quality list! Genuinely happy with any of these. Arrival is outstanding for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Artanis

Absolutely agree on all points. Great list. My hope is Dune or Arrival but I'd be happy with any of these.

Brian Sheely

Not everyone is going to understand his plots. They’re neither simplistic nor derivative. The fact that Inception was nominated for 8 Academy Awards is indicative of how good it is.

Elz

Arrival is an amazing choice icl defo worth a watch , great pick of films though
