My Top 25 Sci-Fi Movies of all Time
by Ken Parker
If anyone followed my top Sci-Fi TV
series of each decade article series, you may know that I put perhaps
too much thought into coming up with these lists and like television,
these rankings change constantly depending on how I am feeling at the
time.
I elected to go after Sci-Fi movies
only and not include Fantasy only because Fantasy opens so many
avenues including most super hero movies and so forth. Obviously
some of the movies listed here can be considered Fantasy but my goal
is to keep movies that at least have some basis in science. The Lord
of the Rings films, for example would dominate my Fantasy list and
are not included here.
In judging this list I factored in the
importance of the film in both film history as well as my own
experience and perceptions. Star Wars had a huge influence on me and
my interests and so I kept this in mind. There are probably a few
films that you won't see on too many people's lists but for the most
part these are very classic choices common on many lists.
Later I will also have some honorable
mentions and discuss why some films are not on this list. Feel free
to provide feedback and feel free to include more than “That movie
sucks.”
Now for #25...
