I was expecting imaginary elements used in Sci-Fi (like adamantium), this is a bit lame
And Unobtainium (from the genius mind of James Cameron)
What is Element 45: M Rotwang? I can identify all the others but not this one.
The first reference I recall to Unobtainium was from “The Core”.
@Jason P, 45: M Rotwang would be from Metropolis.
Damn, I think I’ve seen about 90% of that chart.
Nice idea, but if you want to go by impact on Sci-fi fandom, Go-bots and Silverhawks need to be replaced by Robotech and Thundercats, respectively.
And, I don’t care if it was a trilogy, The Matrix doesn’t need more than one entry.
Lastly, I find it rather amusing that Xanadu is on the chart, given that, after 19 years of work on a multi-volume SF story (a fanfic), I found that the movie had had a subliminal effect on how the resolution turned out (as did Quantum Leap).
