Lists tagged 'Sci-Fi'
A list of science fiction films, yet unreleased and newly released: 2012-2015. Have only included titles with posters or art-work. In random order. Under constant construction. Depending on availability of posters.
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.
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 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.

These are the best ones that I can come up with. All films on here got a rating of 7/10 or higher from me. These are solid for one reason or another. I am truly a horor fan so keep that in mind. These are just ones that I enjoyed:) I know I am missing pretty much all the classics!
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

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!
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.
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, mysterious storyline with some allusion to bent reality. 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!
