Entertainment Weekly's 31 Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time
"Science fiction is inherently speculative, an imagination's attempt to make sense of the vast, unmapped territories of outer space, technology, and human consciousness. Curiosity is ironed into the fabric of its stories, an earnest desire to wrestle with philosophical questions about man's relationship to God, to artificial intelligence, and to the unknown. As computers and AI thrust themselves ever deeper into our daily routines, it's perhaps more vital than ever that we ask the weightier questions about what it means for humanity. This list compiles some of cinema's scariest, funniest, and most provocative stabs at those deeper questions. Perhaps it's a fool's errand to try and pinpoint the best sci-fi movies of all time, but the 31 films listed below encompass a multitude of options — comedy, drama, horror, noir, crime, action, and more — that represent everything weird and wonderful about one of fiction's most satisfying (and challenging) genres." - ew.com
