I was reading this list of the 50 greatest sci-fi movies of the last 50 years, and it was all fairly predictable. There’s only a couple that I’d disagree with, but there were a few that would have made the list in place of them if I were compiling it myself, and I realised my additions were less mainstream or less critically acclaimed than were on there.
What guilty-pleasure sci-fi movies would you recommend?
For starters, ones I’ve watched a bunch of times would be:
Dredd (2012)
Pandorum (2009)
Lockout (2012)
Monsters (2010)
Strange Days
Dark City
13th Floor
Moon
Cube
Animatrix
Heavy Metal
Dude Where’s My Car
Cowboys Vs Aliens
Paprika
Patlabor II
Excellent mention of 13th floor and moon. Patlabor too. Nice!
Just rewatched the 13th floor this week, it’s SO close to being excellent, but doesn’t quite reach what it could be capable of.
Fun flick, main actor is better than I remembered.
