Be sure to check CL's Movies & Television site for reviews of this summer's biggest movies.
There is only one genre that is able to entertain us, capture our imagination and provide a glimpse of the world after the machines take over and enslave mankind. Of course, I'm talking about Sci-Fi. The genre has many different subsections, and Wikipedia can fill you in if your curious about what constitutes "science fiction." For my purposes, a Sci-Fi movie is one that includes some combination of time travel, space adventure, futuristic ray guns and aliens. All of the following movies have proved influential on the genre and society in general — not to mention my childhood.
So, here's my Top 15 Sci-Fi movies of all time, starting with one honorable mention. Please let me know what you think in the comments section!
