Top 25 Best Science-Fiction & Fantasy Films?

According to The Guardian, anyway... Article:  http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/oct/21/science-fiction-fantasy-25 2001: A Space Odyssey bores me utterly; and The Wizard of Oz is akin to torture, as is Back to the Future - each to their own, of course.

 Adele Cosgrove-Bray  Adrienne Odasso  Carol Falaki  Tim Hulme  Peter Caton  Colin P Davies  Chris the Shaman  Parallel Dimensions took place on Saturday, October 16th at West Kirby Library.  Participating authors were:  Carol Falaki, Tim Hulme, Peter Caton, Adrienne Odasso, Colin P Davies and myself (Adele Cosgrove-Bray.)  Music was provided by Chris the Shaman.

Unfortunately the planned Q&A session had to be cancelled as the library was due to close, as we'd ran well over the allotted time. However, the good news is that I've already been asked to organise

Stonehenge Rebuilt?

"For decades the official Stonehenge guidebooks have been full of fascinating facts and figures and theories surrounding the world's greatest prehistoric monument. What the glossy brochures do not mention, however, is the systematic rebuilding of the 4,000 year old stone circle throughout the 20th Century...  From 1901 to 1964, the majority of the stone circle was restored in a series of makeovers which have left it, in the words of one archaeologist, as 'a product of the 20th century heritage industry' ."
