What’s interesting, from a certain point of view, is that neither the top 10 – or the below top 20 – contain a single Star Trek movie with only four of our writers voting for the seminal franchise. For the record, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan came in at #21.
So, here’s the 10 movies that just missed out on the cut…
11. Inception (2012, dir. Christopher Nolan)
12. The Thing (1982, dir. John Carpenter)
13. Planet of the Apes (1968, dir. Franklin J. Schaffner)
14. Jurassic Park (1993, dir. Steven Spielberg)
15. District 9 (2009, dir. Neill Blomkamp)
16. Predator (1987, dir. John McTiernan)
17. RoboCop (1987, dir. Paul Verhoeven)
18. Sunshine (2007, dir. Danny Boyle)
19. Ghostbusters (1984, dir. Ivan Reitman)
20. Moon (2009, dir. Duncan Jones)
