2009 Origins: My Five Best Sci-Fi Movies

I spent the last week at the 2009 Origins Game Fair (June 24-28, 2009) in Columbus, Ohio, where I got the opportunity to interview game designers, organizers, and fans about the games and movies they love to play and watch.

As we know, any self-described geek knows his sci-fi films and the gamers at Origins are no different! In all, I got over 200 responses to different Sci-Fi movies - most of which I have seen and some I had never even heard of. These guys and gals knew so much about Science-Fiction that many had trouble coming up with just five best. See who the winners were below:
