4. Dark City
Another odd, but incredible sci-fi film in the same vein as Blade Runner, Dark City belongs to the mesmerizing sub-genre of Noir Science Fiction films. In a city controlled by aliens that feed off of people's pasts in hopes to finding a cure for the own dying race one man wakes up and realizes that he is being controlled. People around him can be erased and given completely new identities at anytime and everyone seems alone. The city serves more as a prison for the minds of people while the streets are stalked by aliens called "strangers," who can show up anywhere to deliver death. Somewhat like a precursor to the Matrix. Unlike the Matrix, however, Dark City did very poorly at the box office despite great reviews. It has since become something of a cult classic and one of the most overlooked science fiction films of all time.
