Science fiction movies
It’s Friday so here’s something a little lighter. A contributor to Gizmo’s Freeware with the nom de plume of Rizar has written an article about science fiction movies. He begins:
This article has a collection of the best science fiction (SF) movies ever. I survey the exciting range of possibilities in imaginative technology, computers, futuristic visions, underlying science/modernism, and other speculative ideas. It also includes a list of the top 100 SF films of all time as rated by film critics and users.
First I comment on some of the best science fiction movies by decade. I increase the font size of movie titles I find artistically appealing, supportive of future science or technology, semi-pure to SF, timeless in their visions, or dense with gems of SF ideas. Some of the movies that don’t quite fit into this emphasis go in the honorable mention section or may be found in the Top 100 list.
Next is a list of the top 100 greatest science fiction movies of all time. In most cases the films portray compelling speculative ideas or “what if” thought experiments, but they must at least get typically classified in the Sci-Fi/fantasy (SF/F) genre (and not for fantasy). The ranking is calculated from online critic and user ratings (see notes for the explicit calculation and grade details). The movie ratings and grades throughout the page are also calculated by these critic/user ratings.
