ESB denied!
The American Film Institute has picked their 50 best sci-fi films of all time and there are many notable exceptions on the list, with the most heinously neglected of all being The Empire Strikes Back.
Looking at the list, there are some questionable choices (AI, Contact, Eternal Sunshine & Minority Report?), and it appears that they only chose one from each franchise, which is pretty lame, IMO
Other neglected movies: Aliens, Serenity, Terminator, Gattaca, The Fifth Element, The Road Warrior, Metropolis, Stargate and Armageddon.
