Your favorite films will count more this way, and will mitigate potential ties. Also continuing what other members set forward, you have the option of the additional 21 - 30, they all get 1 point each, which will hopefully allow us to include a larger pool of obscure, cult, or mixed-genre films. If you can't think of extra films worth mentioning, then don't worry, the minimum amount of submission is 20 films, the extra 5 - 10 are for those who want to go the extra AU.

And please, list your films in the order given. Unnumbered submissions will be assumed to be in-order as-is.

2) As mentioned above, Minimum amount of films listed is 20 and Maximum is 30. If you can't list 20 sci-fi films, then all the films on your list will only receive 1 point each towards the total so be sure to reach that 20-movie milestone if you want your votes to count the most.

3) Please only make one list - You are free to update and change your original post as often as you'd like until the deadline. It will make tallying very hard if there are multiple lists from one person. Just find your original post and click 'Edit' to make your changes. If you do re-post your list twice or more, I'll message you to remove them.

4) Do not combine multi-part or multi-volume films into one line. The Matrix trilogy is three separate films, do not list them all on one entry. EXCEPTION: Miniseries and anime OVAs can be eligible as single entries. More details to come.

5) For films that have been made more than once, please indicate the year of production in parenthesis. For example, Total Recall (1990) or Total Recall (2012). If you don’t indicate whether you’re voting on an original film or remake, I will ping you for clarification. If you still don’t specify, I will assume you mean the most popular version. But please make it clear so nobody gets confused. This is not necessary for films with alternate versions.

7) Be excellent to each other. Suppose somebody puts Battlefield Earth as their #1 pick, or claims that 2001’s Planet of the Apes is better than the original? Contrary to popular belief, the universe will not implode. Everybody is entitled to their tastes and opinions—please respect them and be civil about it. If you don’t have anything nice to post, don’t post at all. And party on, dudes!

6) OPTIONAL: Add a short review of your film choices. To personalize the list, feel free to post a short bit of prose about your choice. This can range from a short sentence consisting of a couple of words to a couple of lines long paragraph, or you can link to a previous review you wrote when the film was released. This is not compulsory, and you can write these short pieces on however many of your choices you want, even if it's only for your first pick. However the more input the better, the short words of wisdom will be included on the final tallied up list in a well presented manner, and your list will be linked with your description so others who see your words will hopefully want to look at your other choices as well.

8) Finally, just to remind you, the Deadline is set for:
Tuesday (January 31st 2017) at 2200 EST

This long deadline will hopefully allow members to find, explore, and watch all the sci-fi you can between now and January—feel free to pass recommendations around (in a respectful, non-condescending manner, of course).

Please make sure you get your list in and make any final edits before this deadline, as any changes after that will not count.
