Sci-Fi Definition
literary fantasy involving the imagined impact of science on society

I just reject the notion that "imagined impact of science on society" must always involve anti-gravity space flight. not saying you're saying that, but i do think there is that stereotype out there.

clockwork was a masterpiece, and its themes of "sudden behavioral modification" pervade many other sci-fi classics, it just doesn't have the stereotypical space flight. doesn't matter to me.

I see your point. And I TOTALLY agree that the movie is a masterpiece! Kubrick was a master of style and together with David Lynch is my all time favorite director.

+1 but I would put 2 before 1, sneak in Logans Run and add many of the Twilight Zone shows as a group. It may be impossible to settle on just 5.
