Your Top 5 Favorite Science Fiction Films - Blu-ray Forum

FendersRule · 12-18-2008, 08:10 AM

I am creating a youtube video series (with influences from the Angry Video Game nerd and Happy Video Game Nerd) about my top 5 favorite science fiction flicks.

I'll link the website when I am finished, but I don't want to give them away now. I have to keep the audience someone wondering about the next

I will likely create a series of videos. I am going to include movie footage from these videos as well. Is there any disclaimer, etc that I need to put at the end of these videos to compensate for copyright laws?

Anyhow, what are your top 5 favorite science fiction flicks?

A few films previously mentioned lean more towards fantasy rather than science fiction. But I would put these films on my list in no particular order:

2001: A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Alien
Blade Runner
Children of Men
John Carpenter's The Thing
AI: Artificial Intelligence
The Planet of the Apes (1968)
The War of the Worlds (1953)

Star Wars Episode IV
Star Wars Episode V
Star Wars Episode VI
Alien

Yup, legally all that stuff is obviously copyrighted, but I think it would fall under the Fair Use doctrine of U.S. copyright laws to use small clips like you describe, so you should be ok.

Check out the DMCA laws...

In any event, YouTube is liable for any copyright infringement, not you.

I think 5 films is too limiting so I'm creating a "classics/older" list and a newer list.

Classics/Older
1 - The Thing
2 - The Day the Earth Stood Still (with Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal)
3 - Them
4 - War of the Worlds (Gene Barry version)
5 - Forbidden Planet (ya gotta love Anne Francis

, the film's heroine)

Classics/Newer
1 - Star Trek - The Wrath of Khan (as well as the majority of other ST films)
2 - Stars Wars - episodes 4-6
3 - Aliens (just the second film)
4 - Terminator 2
5 - The Thing (John Carpenter's remake)

I would add in other films such as the Ring Trilogy but I think those should be posted under another category such as Fantasy.
