MY SCI FI

A chronological list of my favorite sci fi feature films through the decades.

Not necessarily the greatest ones – though I consider many of them to be just that.

I’ve included some that combine sci fi and supernatural elements (like “House of Frankenstein” from 1944), which has the Frankenstein monster co-existing with Dracula and the Wolf Man.

Also represented are a number of sci-fi comedies. Hail Abbott & Costello!

The vampire and zombie titles I’ve cited all present those states as the results of scientific experiment rather than supernatural or occult forces.

Many of the acknowledged classics aren’t here. But that’s because they just didn’t please or entertain me the way they obviously did for so many others.

At the end is an addendum listing movies I’ve categorized as Sci Fi Adjacent. All titles I like very much. But – compared to the ones on the main list - their sci fi content tends toward the peripheral or the merely implied.
