Thought: So the “sci-fi” genre officially made a huge comeback to the movies…

4 Comments

Science Fiction was very popular in the 70’s and throughout the 80’s, but the popularity of the science fiction genre died out in the 90’s. It seems that the popularity of sci fi has risen again this year.

The “Star Trek” reboot, “District 9”, “Avatar”, and next here comes, “Battle Los Angeles”. We have “Cowboys & Aliens” coming soon as well. So there’s your evidence that sci fi have came back in a huge way.

I’m a huge science fiction fan and this genre deserves to get known again. I haven’t seen “Battle Los Angeles” yet but will see it later this week. Now that sci fi is getting huge, maybe this will get people to start watching the classic sci fi movies like: “Metropolis”, “Blade Runner”, “Enemy Mine”, “The Black Hole”, “Dune”, “Explorers”, “The Last Starfighter”, etc. I’m pretty sure some people of today don’t even know about those movies.

Most of those films are not even science fiction flicks, there’s too many superhero movies on there that aren’t even science fiction films like “Iron Man” and “Spiderman”.

The only superhero movie that is true science fiction is the Superman movies, the Superman movies has always been known for science fiction. What’s even worse about this list is that there is not one Star Trek film in it.

Here’s what a real top 30 science fiction list should look like in my own opinion, my personal favorite sci fi flicks are here in no particular order:

Enemy Mine, John Carpenter’s “Starman”, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman: The Movie, Superman II, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, 2001: A Space Oddysey, Blade Runner, Planet of the Apes (original), David Lynch’s “Dune”, The Abyss, Metropolis, Stargate, The Road Warrior: Mad Max 2, Dark City, Alien, Aliens, Gattaca, The War of the Worlds (original), Pitch Black, Space Camp, Cocoon, Back to the Future, Back to the Future Part II, Apollo 13, K-Pax, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day

Now there’s your true science fiction top list. Those who don’t list any of those films is not a true fan of science fiction.
