4.  Terminator 2: Judgment Day (Two Disc Ultimate Edition) [DVD] [1991] DVD ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger

5.  Alien Quadrilogy (9 Disc Complete Box Set) [DVD] [1979] DVD ~ Sigourney Weaver

6.  Close Encounters Of The Third Kind (30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition) [DVD] DVD ~ Richard Dreyfuss

7.  Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan - Directors Edition (Two Disc Set) [DVD] DVD ~ Star Trek II - the Wrath of Khan
The list author says:
  "After the flop of the first picture, the Star Trek franchise proved it could still boldly go, just as it had on TV years before the first "modern" sci-fi picture. Pulp, yes. Camp, yes. Brilliant, yes."

8.  Trancers [1985] [DVD] DVD ~ Tim Thomerson
The list author says:
  "In the far future everyone will look like they just walked off the set of Dallas and will be called names like Jack Deth. A fun, low-budget classic somewhere between BladeRunner and Shaun of the Dead"

The Time Machine [DVD] [1960]
9.  The Time Machine [DVD] [1960] DVD ~ Rod Taylor
The list author says:
  "Got an Oscar for special effects when it came out. Shot in gorious technicolour, the story is genuinely affecting, although the Morlocks are a bit cheesy by today's standards."

14.  THX 1138 [DVD] [1971] DVD ~ Robert Duvall
