I'm gonna have to disagree with dramaends, the movie is pretty terrible. It's a great looking series of unconnected scenes that's completely incomprehensable to the average viewer. Only people who are really familiar with the book have a hope of coming out of watching with any idea what they just saw.

There are 3, technically 4 screen adaptions of Dune: the 1984 film by David Lynch which I think is the one referred to here, a 2000 TV miniseries, the new 2021 film and of course Jodorowsky's Dune, "the greatest movie never made", with a soundtrack by Pink Floyd, artwork by Moebius and H. R. Giger, Salvador Dalí as the Padishah Emperor, Orson Welles as Baron Harkonnen and more missed chances at greatness. A true shame it was not meant to be.

I see I took this 6 months ago. Funny that I acquired the directors cut a couple months back and have watched it several more times. That really is a remarkable scene at the end. Remembered it straightaway this time.

Yeah, I've also read that it was ad-libbed. There's a little more to it than what's quoted in the quiz, but it's all just beautiful and poetic, whereas the soliloquy as written in the script was flat and dull. According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tears_in_rain_monologue), in the final script it went like this:

"I have known adventures, seen places you people will never see, I've been Offworld and back...frontiers! I've stood on the back deck of a blinker bound for the Plutition Camps with sweat in my eyes watching the stars fight on the shoulder of Orion. I've felt wind in my hair, riding test boats off the black galaxies and seen an attack fleet burn like a match and disappear. I've seen it...felt it!"

...and then he croaked! Lots of random details, no existential musings or sadness at all! Thank goodness Rutger Hauer had a poetic epiphany and Ridley Scott a generous heart, because obviously the way it was shot was just sublime.

...Oh, and according to the Daily Script, here's a version of the shooting script (I'm not sure whether it's newer or older compared to the other one I already quoted), but it seems an improvement:

"I've seen things... (long pause) ...seen things that you little people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion bright as magnesium... I rode on the back deck of a blinker and watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser gate. All those moments... they'll be gone."

(Source: http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/blade-runner_shooting.html)

And finally, here is the way it was released, with Rutger Hauer's stripped-down and poignant final version:

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears...in...rain. Time to die."

Duh. I kept wondering why I didn't get Star Wars and tried names of the episodes and all. Now I *THINK* I wrote "Star Trek". Somehow keep confusing the two even though I know both.

As some pedant probably pointed out before, many of these are not science fiction. Fine quiz anyway, though.

They're all science fiction. Some of them are other things on top of being science fiction, too.

No, they're not. Science fiction and fantasy are mutually exclusive. Star Wars is fantasy. The Avengers is fantasy. Ghostbuster and Back to the Future are..... eh... basically science fiction. But obviously not serious science fiction as they are both comedies with very silly premises.

"Its exact definition has long been disputed among authors, critics, scholars, and readers." says Wikipedia. So some movies just don't fit your chosen definition.

Yes. But the definition I chose is the correct one. Others are the product of confusion and popular misconceptions.

I'm with kal on this one... The inclusion of The Avengers in here is really the worst offender in my opinion. Sure it has aliens and future technology, but it's really a fantasy/superhero movie. Nobody cares about how or why the aliens twisted the laws of physics to create a giant space-rending portal, it just appears there because the movie needs a bunch of faceless bad guys for the heroes to punch at. The science and technology of the film are only there to serve the superhero story. It's like putting Monty Python and the Holy Grail in the same category as Braveheart and Gladiator because they both have guys with swords. The focus is completely different.

Blade Runner soliloquy is amazing, but I wish you'd chosen the quote from The Fly that, while far less famous than "Be afraid..." is in my opinion on the same level as Roy Batty's masterpiece from Blade Runner: "I'm an insect who dreamt he was a man, and loved it - but now the dream is gone, and the insect is awake."

Oh, and I too loved the inclusion of the Goldblum stammer in the JP quote.

Isn't Ghostbusters more of a fantasy film than a sci-fi one?

It can be both. It's fantasy bad guys (Ghosts! Demon god from another dimension!) versus sci-fi good guys (Measure the psycho-kinetic energy! Blast with proton beams from unlicensed nuclear accelerators!)

Science fiction is fiction that explores the possible real life implications of science or technology in the near or distant future. If you put laser guns in a movie that is all about wizards and laser sword wielding knights set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... this is clearly not science fiction. Ghostbusters is a little bit squishy. I mean, some people do believe in the paranormal, even if there is no credible science backing up those beliefs at all. It could be considered very badly written science fiction. Or it could just be considered a joke. It can be hard to categorize these films when they are satirical or when they are so badly written that it's hard to know if the intent was to be serious or not.

Typing "Alien" gave the auto-fill answer for "Aliens." I, a movie buff/snob, have a huge problem with that, as answering with Alien is absolutely not close enough.

i could swear that "Be afraid. Be very afraid" was also used in a more recent movie, but I can't remember which one.
