This is a ranking of Ridley Scott’s most important science fiction and fantasy films. While some didn’t quite live up to expectations, others were huge successes and set the standard for the genre. However, each film is a standout achievement in its own right.

![Symmetric molecules experience enhanced, unidirectional field-free orientation via a single resonant pulse that selectively couples an initial rotational state [latex]|J_0K_0M_0\rangle[/latex] to an adjacent state [latex]|J_0+1K_0M_0\rangle[/latex], a process demonstrated through a two-state excitation model where the angle [latex]\theta[/latex] between the molecular axis and laser polarization dictates the resulting periodic evolution and angular distribution of the rotational wave packet.](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.21012v1/fig1.png)
