The 150 Greatest Science Fiction Movies of All Time

Rolling Stone recently ranked The 150 Greatest Science Fiction Movies of All Time.

My first reaction was – wow, that’s a lot of movies! I do enjoy a longer best of list because it increases the odds that there are plenty I haven’t seen. On first scroll, I’m seeing some stellar selections (Videodrome, Back to the Future, Westworld, Escape from New York) and more than a few I’m adding to my watchlist (Logan’s Run, Born in Flames, God Told Me To).

How boring the movies would be — and how robbed we audiences would be — if science fiction never existed, or never made it past the that’s-just-for-academics stage of evolution. Ever since that bullet-like rocket gave the Moon a black eye in 1902 and added an element of fantasy into a very young art form, those speculative and imaginative stories set in the far reaches of space and/or on our own scorched earth have been an integral part of a well-balanced cinematic diet. These films have given us visions of utopias and dystopias, asked deep questions about the human experience and the pros and cons of artificial intelligence, thrilled us and made us think. Once upon a time, sci-fi was considered nothing more than a niche for nerds. Now it’s a genre wide enough to encompass everything from Ad Astra to Zardoz.
