Looking up at the night sky, it's easy to understand why science fiction exists. It can be a difficult genre to define, but at its core, each work of science fiction deals with a great unknown. Said unknown can probe the mystery of what resides alongside us in the universe, or it can pose the question of what we, as humans, are capable of with technology.
We start our quest to find the best science fiction film the year you were born in 1920. Stacker created an index that equally weights each film's IMDb score and Rotten Tomatoes critic rating (when available) to rank all science fiction films in a given year. The film with the highest Stacker Score is what you see here.
There are some interesting movies here and some surprises to me. I look forward to finishing this list.
