Classic Science Fiction & Fantasy Movies

Before Star Wars and its blockbuster successors began to dominate the box office, science fiction and fantasy was more of an esoteric, edgy area — and it was all the better for it. These films show how cinema used genre conventions to make thoughtful statements about life, the universe and everything. (Rubber suits played a big part too).
