Top-Rated SF&F FIlms over the Last Decade

The other day I wrote that I only hand out a 9 to a film that's so well done that I expect it to stand out in a crowd as truly memorable from a decade's perspective. It occurred to me that I should put that to the test. Herewith the SF&F films that I've considered 9-worthy since 1998 — 29 (10 of them rereleases) out of the 626 I've covered. Judge for yourself:
