While I didn't vote, as sci-fi isn't really my area and I didn't feel I could come up wit a respectable ballot; I'm looking forward to seeing the results, as I may use this list as a starting point to jump further into the genre.

Shit, I was going by whether or not letterboxd tagged it as sci-fi and it didn't have The Prestige tagged as one. Would've put it #3 on my ballot.

50s Invasion of the Body Snatchers being on here, and Day the Earth Stood Still missing is bull! Close Encounters and Planet of the Apes being this low is madness!
