    Answer what question? I just want that Apes boxset.
  • Aleric
    Blade Runner. It ushered in the new genre of thinking scifi action heroes with villians who were more human than the good guys.
  • Donna
    Star Wars. Everyone has seen it multiple times and most of us have it in our DVD collection.
  • Jason
    There are a number of pretty influential sci-fi films out there: Alien, Bladerunner, Star Wars, etc. Lots of films that came after these copied the mood, atmosphere, settings, lighting, character-types, tech, and more. All you have to do is watch Event Horizon, Sunshine, Fifth Element, and some stinkers like Ice Pirates (oh yea, I went there) to see now-familiar and in some cases cliche concepts. Come, Zira, don't dawdle, and gimme my Apes!

    Tie between, Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn and Space Raiders. Why? Not real
    sure, but they both rock.
  • Peter
    Simple. Star Wars.
  • Jad
    Forbidden Planet. Inspired most science fiction that followed, including Star Trek. Robbie the Robot appeared in how many other movies? And that poster is ridiculously iconic.
  • Eric
    I think "Alien" is right there at the top. It was inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress so it could be preserved for historical purposes.

    It blazed a lot of trails in it's own right and generally set a precedent for how to scare the hell out of people.

    Star Wars. No "Episode IV". No "A New Hope". Just "Star Wars". It itself was influenced by
    science fiction of a bygone era, and it returns the favor of influencing new films to come
    decades later.
  • Corey Atad
    Blade Runner seems to be the most influential for the modern film era. Nearly ever film
    depicting the future seems to steal its vision in part or sometimes directly from Scott's
    Blade Runner. But Blade Runner still manages to be the best.
