Lists tagged 'Sci-Fi'
A list of quality Sci-Fi titles, in no particular order, with an emphasis on good science as well as good stories.
For now... Ik hope more new mindblowing movies will change this list!
Fantasy and sci-fi films that I've seen with a ranking and short review.
A suggested viewing order of Babylon 5. Seasons 1-5, six (6) movies, and spin-off series Crusade.
To maintain continuity of story-line and follow a chronological order, this Babylon 5 watch-list has some episodes during the five (5) seasons rearranged from the original order (broadcast order and/or DVD order). Make sure you follow only this IMDb "LIST ORDER" (not the Date added, episode sequence order, etc).
Year
2257 - Movie: "The Gathering"
2258 - Babylon 5 Season 1 ("Signs and Portents")
2259 - Babylon 5 Season 2 ("The Coming Of Shadows")
2260 - Babylon 5 Season 3 ("Point of No Return")
2261 - Babylon 5 Season 4 ("No Surrender, No Retreat")
2262-3362 - Babylon 5 Season 4 Episode 22 "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars"
2245-2248 - Movie: "Babylon 5: In the Beginning"
2262 - Babylon 5 Season 5 ("The Wheel of Fire")
2263 - Movie: "River of Souls"
2265 - Movie: "The Legend of the Rangers"
2266 - Movie: "A Call to Arms"
2267 - Crusade Season 1
2271 - Movie: "The Lost Tales: Voices in the Dark"
2281 - Babylon 5 Season 5 Episode 24 "Sleeping in Light"
Notes:
1) Babylon 5: Some episodes during the five (5) seasons are rearranged to maintain continuity of story-line. Make sure you follow this IMDb LIST ORDER.
2) s3e5 "Voices of Authority": this was originally meant to air before "Passing Through Gethsemane," but since the events of this episode tie into the beginning of "Dust to Dust," and aren't mentioned at all in "Gethsemane," the initial airing order is actually an improvement.
3) s4e22 "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars": Includes scenes of future events up to 3362+.
4) Crusade: Suggested episode order (#9, 11, 10, 2, 12, 3, 13, 5, 4, 6, 7, 1, 8) to maintain continuity of story-line.

Pun intended: the women in science-fiction films -- and all the sub-genres -- have beauty that can be as extraordinary as the ideas that invade the films themselves. From asking for John Connor in a way that'll make you want to travel across time, to actually sexy scenes, this list should jog your memory.
I am listing out some of sci fi movies which i feel were a real mind *beep*
Well it's actually difficult to rank the movies . Every movie is a masterpiece in its own .
Go ahead and watch it all for a brain freezing experience.

The future is war!!!*
A list for military science-fiction (MSF) movies and TV. However, actually pinning the definition down can be tricky.
David Weber, author of the Honor Harrington series, has defined military science-fiction as:
It is a strict definition and few on here tick all the boxes, but most manage to satisfy the majority of his criteria. Although it is purely subjective (and eventually comes down to "I know it when I see it"), my rule-of-thumb is along the lines of: future (or near future) conflict where some of the protagonists are members of a military organisation, possibly opposed by another such group (or hordes of alien beasties). Just don't hold me to that too strictly.
Further reading: TV Tropes, MSF film and TV at militaryscifi.com, Future War Stories a MSF blog, The Problem with Military Science Fiction, and What is Military Science Fiction? and Your Military Science Fiction Isn't Really Military Science Fiction at io9.
See also: Space horror, another list of mine focusing on the the crossover of horror and sci-fi in deep space (in the same way this isn't just where the war and sci-fi genres intersect). The horrors of war list is more a direct intersection of war and horror and might include some sci-fi elements where supersoldier programs go wrong. The madder superscience on my Nazi occult list could include films that come close to this list (Iron Sky perhaps?).
* A phrase lifted from the end of Atari Teenage Riot's "The Future of War."
A list for military science-fiction (MSF) movies and TV. However, actually pinning the definition down can be tricky.
David Weber, author of the Honor Harrington series, has defined military science-fiction as:
I would differentiate between what I consider to be "military science-fiction" and what I consider to be ... something else masquerading by the same name.
For me, military science-fiction is science-fiction which is written about a military situation with a fundamental understanding of how military lifestyles and characters differ from civilian lifestyles and characters. It is science-fiction which attempts to realistically portray the military within a science-fiction context. It is not "bug shoots." It is about human beings, and members of other species, caught up in warfare and carnage. It isn't an excuse for simplistic solutions to problems.
It's an opportunity to explore responsibilities, morality, sacrifices, and costs.

Question:“What is the point of large lists?” Lists like this have a "Refine list" feature (located in the right hand side of the page), which is a powerful filtering tool. With this tool one can exclude all of the films that one has already "rated"(seen), or that are in the >>>>> "watchlist", or exclude films that have been rated below lets say 6/10 stars, etc. With this list you get the ability to filter the list any way you like... to drill down on the exact content that you are looking for. All filters can be used at the same time, in any combination.

The list was inspired by "Le voyage dans la lune" a short film by Georges Méliès (1902) which triggered the Sci-Fi movie genre. The list goes on to include the onslaught of Post War and B Movies from the 50's on up through to the classics of the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and to the recent blockbusters.
Also included are short or experimental Sci-fi films, some Sci-fi TV series and future Sci-Fi releases for 2013, 2014 and 2015. To get the most from this list, also search by 'US release date, Date added and Title A-Z. For example, upcoming releases without posters are listed at the end of list.

"Cyberpunk is a postmodern science fiction genre noted for its focus on "high tech and low life. It features advanced science, such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order.
Cyberpunk plots often center on a conflict among hackers, artificial intelligences, and megacorporations, and tend to be set in a near-future Earth.
Classic cyberpunk characters were marginalized, alienated loners who lived on the edge of society in generally dystopic futures where daily life was impacted by rapid technological change, an ubiquitous datasphere of computerized information, and invasive modification of the human body."

www.imdb.com/list/dGoj7BACIS4/
There are loads of movies out there and putting them in a list according to genre, is essential for me. The list is all the best sci-fi films that apply to my taste. Enjoy
This list is missing a few of the presumed classics like "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Blade Runner" because, quick frankly, I found them boring.
Every single one of the films on this list is a film I would personally recommend to sci-fi fans and none of them are there simply because I think they 'ought' to be included.
All films are included in year order.
Hope you all enjoy the list!

These are strictly Sci-fi titles not horror or comic book genres mixed in. I am a Sci-fi fanatic and I love more recent movies say 1979 to present. So you wont find allot of the early flying saucer stuff from the 50's and 60's.
Well these are the only one's I can think of --- there is Ian "Roy Castle" who was I think in the original movie and there are a few more missing
Horror and peril in the cold, with mounds of snow and lashings of ice.
There is clearly some solid crossover with Christmas horror.

This list consists of all of my favourite Sci-fi movies that i have seen. The list is in alphabetical order and it is still under construction.
Welcome friends and fans of science-fiction!
Science-fiction is my favourite genre ever since I started watching films. These are the movies I have considered to be some of the best in the science-fiction genre, yet I still have a lot to see and I await any recommendations.
I tried not to include superhero movies, mainly because they have bloomed in the last decade and formed a genre of their own and monster movies.

A list of Real Sci-fi Movies, To me some Sci-fi movies is not Real Sci-fi ; X-men First Class, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Cloverfield, The Mist, Star Wars is a great movie but not real Sci-fi.
For Time Travel Movies, I do not believe in change the event, effectively creating a parallel universe, I'm not fan of Back to the Future and Frequency.

I suppose my list will contain what many will consider to be the usual suspects but I reckon they will stand the test of time, and anyway, I like 'em.
They are the movies, which leave me after in hard thinking situation, or they are with fantastic efects and excelent story.
If there is one I forgot about please let me know. Also keep in mind this is only my opinion, you are free to have your own.
When I was a freshman in High School, I took a class called SCIENCE FICTION. We watched books and movie from the Genera.
Here are the Books we read:
-Anthem
-Fahrenheit 451
-Rendezvous with Rama
-Ender's Game.
One thing that always made me laugh about this class was the fact that all the fliers that advertised this class showed a poster for Invasion of the Saucer Men. Even though we never watched that movie in the class. I decided to list all the movies/TV shows that were watched in this class.

The ancient astronaut theory as depicted on the big and small screen. These theory was popularised by Erich von Däniken and have been a strong influence on popular culture since.
Although a popular theme in early science fiction but it was first laid out clearly by Charles Fort in 1919's Book of the Damned, where he said:
The films listed here draw on such themes - aliens visiting Earth in the past, people in the "present day" (which might include the future) find evidence for that aliens have been here before, etc.
Further reading: As you are reading this I'll assume you'll be familiar with Von Danicken's theories, so for some background and balance you might want to try: Space Gods Revealed by Ronald Story and Some Trust in Chariots! by E.W. Castle and B.B. Thiering.There is also the more recent The Cult of Alien Gods by Jason Colavito which argues that Von Daniken's ideas are lifted from HP Lovecraft via Morning of the Magicians, so is a little more... focused than the other too and I'd quibble that it downplays the influence of Fort (and I wonder about A. Merritt's impact in this area, as he had direct Theosophical links, as well as a deeper knowledge of occult matters which Lovecraft lacked). You can get a taste for the direction he goes in by reading his earlier piece "Charioteers of the Gods."

Although a popular theme in early science fiction but it was first laid out clearly by Charles Fort in 1919's Book of the Damned, where he said:
I think we're property.
I should say we belong to something:
That once upon a time, this earth was No-man's Land, that other worlds explored and colonized here, and fought among themselves for possession, but that now it's owned by something:
...
I suspect that, after all, we're useful -- that among contesting claimants, adjustment has occurred, or that something now has a legal right to us, by force, or by having paid out analogues of beads for us to former, more primitive, owners of us -- all others warned off -- that all this has been known, perhaps for ages, to certain ones upon this earth, a cult or order, members of which function like bellwethers to the rest of us, or as superior slaves or overseers, directing us in accordance with instructions received -- from Somewhere else -- in our mysterious usefulness.
But I accept that, in the past, before proprietorship was established, inhabitants of a host of other worlds have -- dropped here, hopped here, wafted, sailed, flown, motored -- walked here, for all I know -- been pulled here, been pushed; have come singly, have come in enormous numbers; have visited occasionally, have visited periodically for hunting, trading, replenishing harems, mining: have been unable to stay here, have established colonies here, have been lost here; far-advanced peoples, or things, and primitive peoples or whatever they were
The films listed here draw on such themes - aliens visiting Earth in the past, people in the "present day" (which might include the future) find evidence for that aliens have been here before, etc.

The Internet Archive is well-known for the Wayback Machine it hosts and they also have a very large selection of public domain media*, relevant to IMDB are the films they have and this is a list designed to bring together the science-fiction ones. I largely made the list for myself, so I could keep a track of some of these early classics as I work through their catalogue (some are classic for being good, others for being so bad they are good and some are just bad) but I'm making it public as I'm sure there are other people out there who'd be interest - if nothing else you can grab the bad ones, some beer, some friends and hold your own MST3K (a number of them have appeared on the show). Although it is worth noting that not all of the lowest rated ones here appear in the Bottom 100 because they don't have the 1,500 votes needed to qualify - so get watching and get voting, the world need to seem some of these gems!!
The better known PD ones are available on some dirt cheap DVDs - I have quite a few on triple feature DVDs selling for £1 and there are 50 film boxsets selling for very little, most of them are worth the 30p/20 cents you'd pay for them, although free is better.
So here you'll find some early classic sci-fi, quite a few movie/TV serials, the excellent Quatermass, a couple of Soviet sci-fi flicks, the first 4 Gamera films and other giant monster movies, as well as some of the worst films ever made, which often makes them must-sees (e.g. Plan 9 From Outer Space). This covers 10+ decades of movie-making, so there must be something in there to catch your fancy.
See also: the equivalent list for horror movies, there is some crossover with science-fiction/horror films so I've tended to include them in both. I've also started a similar list for public domain martial arts films
Further reading: If you want to track down other PD films outside of these genres then a good place to start is Wikipedia's list of public domain films in the US, which also explains the situation. Their page on public domain films has a wider focus. There are numerous sites offering public domain films but I can't really vouch for their checks (just Google them up), however, for horror there is Openflix's sci-fi & fantasy section.
* I can't check the copyright status of each one but they are pretty diligent (although not perhaps as careful as the Gutenberg Project, but they might be being over cautious some times) so there are unlikely to be any legal issues, although you'd want to check the copyright situation in your own country to be sure (America has longer copyright period than somewhere like Australia, for example. So if you go by what is available in the US you should be fine). There are other places online with PD films but IA is the most trustworthy source.
NB: IMDB does include links to the Internet Archive videos on a few entries, but not all. I'll see what I can do about fixing that at some point but feel free to scoop up the links here and add them to the entries.

So here you'll find some early classic sci-fi, quite a few movie/TV serials, the excellent Quatermass, a couple of Soviet sci-fi flicks, the first 4 Gamera films and other giant monster movies, as well as some of the worst films ever made, which often makes them must-sees (e.g. Plan 9 From Outer Space). This covers 10+ decades of movie-making, so there must be something in there to catch your fancy.
See also: the equivalent list for horror movies, there is some crossover with science-fiction/horror films so I've tended to include them in both. I've also started a similar list for public domain martial arts films
Further reading: If you want to track down other PD films outside of these genres then a good place to start is Wikipedia's list of public domain films in the US, which also explains the situation. Their page on public domain films has a wider focus. There are numerous sites offering public domain films but I can't really vouch for their checks (just Google them up), however, for horror there is Openflix's sci-fi & fantasy section.
* I can't check the copyright status of each one but they are pretty diligent (although not perhaps as careful as the Gutenberg Project, but they might be being over cautious some times) so there are unlikely to be any legal issues, although you'd want to check the copyright situation in your own country to be sure (America has longer copyright period than somewhere like Australia, for example. So if you go by what is available in the US you should be fine). There are other places online with PD films but IA is the most trustworthy source.

The world is hollow like an Easter Egg (of there are deep systems of tunnels we don't know about - the Honeycomb Earth) and these films reveal what lies within, honest. ;)
Inclusion criteria: I'm mainly aiming at those films (and TV shows) that feature some unknown or lost world beneath the surface of the Earth. Tunnelling and travelling to the Earth's centre, might only count if they encounter something strange down there but may count if they

The best science fiction movie each year for the last three decade.
After few days publishing the worst sci-fi movies of all time.... Gathering data and reviews to every internet reviews (listverse, AFI, Filmcritics, and user's review here on IMDb.com)
Hope you enjoy... comments are gladly welcome
Hope you enjoy... comments are gladly welcome
You won't see any Transformers movies on this list because Michael Bay is the most successful-worst director in the history of Hollywood. But I hope you enjoy the rest of the movies on the list!
The Titles said it... (Pls... waste your time on watching these.. :b)
Pray there never be one, but if there had to be an Alien Reboot, this is the cast that could pull it off. I believe with the right cast, right director, and correct vision, it could POSSIBLY be done well.
Need suggestions on what to watch. (preferably sci-fi less than 30 yo) Thank you.

My favorite TV Series of all time - and here are my favorite episodes!
{1902-2015}. My ultimate personal best list of science-fiction movies. In chronological order and purely subjective. Have included a brief (and on occasion, not so brief) summary on each movie.
*Please note: Still under construction.
*Please note: Still under construction.
You know those movies where, a week later, you're still trying to wrap your brain around what you saw?
A salute to the mind-bending films we lust after.

The criteria for inclusion here is not merely weird imagery, but an intriguing, coherent storyline. Also, English titles only.
If you think I missed one that fits, lemme know.

My personal favorites of the 2000-2009 years. I'm a great SF fan, and wanted to make an all-time list but its too difficult for now, so I'm starting easy with this decade which is hardly the greatest for the genre. Note that I don't consider Donnie Darko, 28 Days Later and The Man From Earth as Sci-fi, but they would be high in my top 20 if I did.
The only films which would probably be in an all-time list of mine are the first two, the others I found good because they were either interesting/original, or simply fun/entertaining (which is the least I can hope for). I tried to list the movies in order of preference, but after the first ten it was difficult so don't consider it canon. The rest is more like honorable mentions. Thanks for your interest!
