Movies In The Science Fiction Genre
| |
Movies (General List)
|
|
We have separated classic and indie films into separate lists (see below)
in order to distinguish their contribution to the genre. While some folks
believe that remakes may approach or even surpass the original films, we
believe the classics deserve a separate listing lest they be lost in the
overburden of new films.

Classics
|
|
Classics are classic. Perhaps in twenty years the nature of what
constitutes a classic will be redefined. At the moment, Them, Cosmic
Forest, Day the Earth Stood Still, Boy and His Dog, Buckaroo Banzai Across
the Eighth Dimension, Journey to the Center of the Earch, and their ilk
are classics to us.

Shorts/Indie
|
|
While you may not find cutting edge special effects in this category,
there is no shortage of finely crafted, innovative films. Who knows
maybe it is the small budget, small staff nature of indie films that
allow for the excellence in experimentation that we see in many indie
films. True not every effort can be a cracker-jack. However, I'm sure
many will agree that true classics of science fiction have made their
way to the screen through the sweat equity of student and indie film
makers.

Galaxy Movie Picks
|
|
If you are looking for fresh from the factory or "most popular answer"
this is not the list for you. The Galaxy Movie Picks are a few of the
films we have found useful, enjoyable, and damn worth the fee. Are they
all great films? Not necessarily. Some we have picked because we believe
they are good study material for anyone in the story telling field--print
and film. Others we have included because we believe everyone who has a
chance should make it their business to watch them.
