100 Greatest Science Fiction Films

Science fiction (Sci-fi) is a genre of film that focuses scientific and often times futuristic concepts. Many of these films contain scientific phenomenons such as time/space travel or aliens. While the content seen in science fiction is frequently unearthly, it does not include elements of fantasy (wizardry, spirituality etc). Also, THIS LIST DOES NOT INCLUDE COMEDY/SATRICAL SCI-FI FILMS. These films are ranked according to their direction, story/script, cinematography, acting, music, editing, creativity, and originality, along with its general success and impact/influence in the film industry. While the film’s general success is important, this list emphasizes the success and importance in the specified film genre more strongly.
