6.  Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Complete Seasons 1-7 [DVD] DVD ~ Star Trek Deep Space Nine
The list author says:

Babylon 5 - the Complete Universe [DVD]
7.  Babylon 5 - the Complete Universe [DVD] DVD ~ Tracy Scoggins

Serenity [DVD] [2005]
15.  Serenity [DVD] [2005] DVD ~ Nathan Fillion
The list author says:
  "Silver screen SF returns to form in Joss Whedon's stoopendous space western, and comes of age with dialogue more Bill Shakespeare than Bill Shatner.  SF's most attractive grease monkey is a bonus..."

Pitch Black [DVD]
16.  Pitch Black [DVD] DVD ~ Pitch Black

Spaceballs (Special Edition) [DVD]
18.  Spaceballs (Special Edition) [DVD] DVD ~ Spaceballs
The list author says:
  "How Not to Do it: this horrendous pastiche must rank of one of cinema's darkest hours.  It's purile and unfunny, that I can forgive.  But there's no love for the genre here, so curse you Mr Brooks."

Galaxy Quest [DVD] [2000]
19.  Galaxy Quest [DVD] [2000] DVD ~ Tim Allen
The list author says:
  "This is more like it.  Takes a loving poke at the genre and the extreme fringe of fandom.  As much tribute as a pastiche, it's also genuinely funny."
