Depends on how you look at it. I see
Le Voyage dans la Lune as a piece which was clearly a light-hearted expression on film (the
Star Wars of its day, perhaps), but ultimately forgettable beside Méliès' other films, and outside of its early novelty.
Metropolis, on the other hand, stands as the very
prototype of the science fiction movie, pioneering cinematic and storytelling techniques that are used in SF to this day, including every one of the top 10 movies in my list. (My full description of
Metropolis is
here, for anyone interested.)
Sure, just my opinion.
As far as the lists... hey, not everyone wants, or gets, the same things out of SF. So you wouldn't expect everyone's lists to be basically the same, would you?
