For me it’s gotta be Click, I’ll take a magic remote over an old sled any day of the week. Plus Click is way funnier and more profound.
Edit: Ooo controversial, I’m going to start taking the upvotes to mean Click and the downvotes to mean Citizen Kane
And the movie isn’t about the remote or its philosophical implications on society or a person. It is just a MacGuffin to deliver the lesson. Click is about the guy and his wishes coming true in the worst way. A common, old horror trope. Which is why I think it isnt technically scifi.
(I know genres can be a bit subjective. But I find it fun to discuss stuff and test my assumptions.)
Heh, well, the genre of Click is not a hill I’m about to die on, but suffice it to say, I think we could find many a sci-fi (that we both agree are sci-fi) that purely hinge on the formula of: macguffin enables some quirk in reality, and the rest of the story is exploring how the main character(s) behave in response.
Wikipedia calls it science fantasy, which I disagree with.
