Back to the Future

If you're looking for a fun (and somewhat comedic) science fiction movie, Back to the Future more than fits the bill. With a great, over the top comedic performance from Christopher Lloyd and more pop culture references than you can shake a stick at, this has to be one of the more enjoyable SciFi/Comedy movies ever made.

The Twilight Zone: Time Enough at Last

Burgess Meredith was one of the best guest stars on The Twilight Zone and his appearance in Time Enough at Last ensures this shows status as the best Twilight Zone episode of the entire series.

Star Trek: Plato's Stepchildren

There is nothing more disturbing than Spock exhibiting emotion and in Plato's Stepchildren, he goes from laughing to crying to hatred and everything in between.

The Terminator

Featuring an extreme case of mistaken identity, The Terminator demonstrates that sometimes having a common name doesn't make you anonymous. In fact, it can make you the center of attention and be downright deadly.

Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) is just an average person leading an average, almost boring, life. Working as a waitress, an exciting night for Sarah is one where her roommate goes out so she can spend a quite night at home. But as Sarah trudges through her daily life, a completely different scene is taking place in the future.

2001: A Space Odyssey

A film doesn't have to make sense and offer an explanation for everthing contained within it to be entertaining. In fact, sometimes, an open ended movie with room for interpretation can be brilliant. 2001: A Space Odyssey is the perfect example of this situation. It leaves a lot of questions unanswered and is considered by some to be downright confusing, but it is still a great movie.

The Matrix Reloaded

Where The Matrix was one of the more intellectual Science Fiction movies in recent years, The Matrix Reloaded is more of an action sequence in the middle of a film. Kind of like the middle of one long movie that The Matrix trilogy seems to be destined to become.

Alien

In Space, No One Can Hear You Scream. This famous tagline from the movie Alien sets the tone for one of the scariest Science Fiction movies of all time.

The Twilight Zone: King Nine Will Not Return

Sometimes, I can figure out the ending of a Twilight Zone episode within the first few minutes of the show. I thought that was the case here. But for some reason, King Nine Will Not Return fooled me with a slight plot twist at the end.

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

With Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan the infamous Star Trek sequel pattern begins. We all know what it is -- repeat after me -- even numbered films are good, odd numbered films are bad. While this may seem arbitrary, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan lives up to this pattern as one of the rare sequels that is actually better than it's predecessor.

Planet of the Apes

Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape! This is one of the most famous lines in Science Fiction history, and it's also the first words ever spoken by humans to apes in Planet of the Apes.
