I forgot to post my top 10 science fiction scenes for last week so, in the spirit of 'better late than never', here they are, with a surprising amount of action. I know there are more than 10 scenes, but there are only 10 films!
Scanners – hell of a way to begin a film
Alien – the shock value is still there nearly 40 years on
Blade Runner – one of the greatest monologues in the history of cinema
WALL-E – the first is joyous, the second makes me cry every time
2001: A Space Odyssey – Dave Bowman goes on a trip
Terminator 2 – almost everything about this is perfect, from the Harley to the music
The Terminator – a classic line and brilliantly choreographed action
Videodrome – tough to pick only one scene from this, but the bulging CRT is just brilliant
The Matrix – from the scene in the lobby to the helicopter crashing into a mirrored talent building, this made me really excited in the cinema and elevates my heart rate every time I watch it
The Thing – the classic 'blood test' scene
