Obviously these are matters of taste.  I like a science fiction film
with a strong idea.  Something that takes some thinking about.  I can
think of no other science fiction film that I find so thought
provoking.  I will also add that I know a lot of people who rate this
film at least in their top five.

Odd, I see very little horror element in the film.  Less than in
ANDROMEDA STRAIN.

What are your criteria for "best" then?
