The 10 Most Stylish Sci-Fi Movies

Science Fiction n. A literary or cinematic genre in which fantasy, typically based on speculative scientific discoveries or developments, environmental changes, space travel, or life on other planets, forms part of the plot or background.
So basically a sci-fi flick has nothing to do with style, right? WRONG! Just look to today's release of the 3D sequel, TRON: Legacy. Seriously, if body suits filled with symmetrical neon lights were acceptable in the work place, we'd be all over it. OK, that's a total lie but it's still incredibly badass to look at and we definitely wouldn't be mad if hot chicks were all over it. In the pantheon of CLASSIC sci-fi flicks, there have been a few that stand out as swagged out sartorially speaking. So what do we do? Shed light on our favorites in The 10 Most Stylish Sci-Fi Movies, from The Fifth Element's body-con, Gaultier-designed wardrobe to the gorgeously austere suiting in Gattaca, we've got it all covered.

I remember fondly hanging out in the movie theatres back in 1995. And I remember when Judge Dredd posters hit the theatres it was before Austin Powers I think. I remember thinking it looked pretty neat. I aslo remember it sort of tanked in the box office too. LoL it had good vision though, Judge Dredd's a unique character.

Oh and I remember Judge Dredd was one of the first 90's comic book adaptations but had little box offce success. Which no cntpry comic book adaptatn did untill 2000 w/ SpdrMan. Although it was the closest thing to a new Demolition Man movie without being a direct take off of it. Flash Gordon and Logan's Run were great 80's sci-fi movies, they were real epics in there style and storylines, Flash still inspires me to this day, I remember seeing it as a kid one sat afternoon and having a ball. I never saw Blade Runner but it's high on the alltime sci-fi movies that r consdrd cool list. And Planet Of The Apes is welll a classic spawned NUMEROUS sequals can't go wrong with it.

Flash is definitely one of those Saturday afternoon movies. To this day if that movie was on tv I would sit my ass down and watch it.

Why do we have to click the link to get to the actual list? Why not go straight to the page?

No Metropolis? Pathetic. That film not only influenced Janelle Monae's existence, but also Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, etc.
