Serenity knocks Star Wars off the top

Sci Fi movies have a way of hanging around a while. Star Wars has been on the top of the ‘official’ top ten list of sci fi movies for quite some time. Until now that is.

Here’s the new list:

The Top Ten:

1. Serenity (2005)

2. Star Wars(1977)

3. Blade Runner(1982)

4. Planet of the Apes(1968)

5. The Matrix(1999)

6. Alien(1979)

7. Forbidden Planet(1956)

8. 2001: A Space Odyssey(1968)

9. The Terminator(1984)

10. Back to the Future(1985)

So Star Wars has finally been knocked off the top spot by Serenity. Now, its nothing against Serenity. I love Firefly as much as the next person. I’ve watched the series and the film over and over (even rather sadly read the graphic novels). But does Serenity deserve to knock of Star Wars for the number one spot?

Honestly? No.

All this shows is the number of fan boy’s Firefly/Joss Wedon has out there. And it just goes a little way further to proving that some studio somewhere should get off their backsides and get talking to Josh seriously about picking up Firefly again.

Oh we can hope.

I’d have to agree that it doesn’t deserve to be at number one, but I’d also have to say that Star Wars doesn’t deserve it either. It’s always been an over-hyped pile of doo-doo.

But yes, Firefly needs to be picked up again.
