List of science fiction films
This is a list of science fiction films organised chronologically. The tone of science fiction films is often a guide to the tone of the times the film was made: other worlds and species are viewed in turn as wonderful, terrifying, threatening, incomprehensible, and childishly benign.
The following list of science fiction films include a number that are notable and a large number that are considered mediocre, including quite a few that have been listed among the worst movies ever made, or have won one or more Golden Raspberry Awards.
