View Full Version : AJ and Arto Present the Bigass Sci-Fi Tournament

This is half of a follow-up to the Haunted House tournament, that turned out to be half of a success ;)
Monsieur AJ Hakari and I had similar ideas for a new tournament, so we decided to join our forces and make one extremely bigass tournament. So, here we have collected 96 science fiction titles, that represent at least some level of quality, with a bit of a mixture of modern titles and more old school flicks to spice it up a bit.
So, without further ado, the Fargo- loving, similarly initialed sci-fi geeks of Joblo.com present : The Bigass Sci-Fi Tournament!
Let's get voting!
Here's the list of titles to be used in the tournament...Hope you all have fun.

Andromeda Strain had a fresh, interesting concept at the time, but it was extremely slow and boring. Star Trek IV was considered a sell-out movie by many die-hard trekkers, but it ranks as among the best starring the original crew.
Translation: ST IV, baby!
