Stacker's 50 Best Space Movies of All Time
"Our ancestors had myths to explain the formation of the stars, and today we have cinema as a tool to share theories of our own. Stacker compiled a list of the best space movies of all time according to the Stacker score, which equally weighs a film's IMDb user score and Metascore (data from October 2020), so both critics' and fans' opinions are taken into account. The films on this list include soaring space operas, faithful docudramas, gripping thrillers, and speculative musings, but all of them deal with space to some degree; many of the themes explored deal directly with our day-to-day lives. These films span the recent history of cinema, from 1956 to 2020, and thus a chronological progression can be observed, with the early successes influencing later films. All films with over 1,000 IMDb votes and at least four Metacritic reviews were counted, so read carefully through the list for some hidden gems." - stacker.com
