How Many Science Fiction Movies Have You Seen?

[EveningStar]

Check the films you've watched all the way through.

Nineteen - not much of a science fiction fan...

[Dr. Sivana]

And lastly, why if comedies are included and other odd things like the Stepford Wives then why not something like the Wizard of Oz?

The Wizard of Oz is magic, The Stepford Wives is technology. It is like Superman and Captain Marvel, appear similar of the surface, but very, very different for those familiar with both.

I used to like to watch the ole Japanese monster movies — Godzilla, etc.

They were so bad that they were a laugh riot to watch.

[TMSuchman]

You have watched 205 out of 300 on this list!

[BBell]

The over use of CGI has turned me off to a lot of new movies. I call them cartoon movies.

[SoCal Pubbie]

I counted 234 that I’ve seen.

[workerbee]

I've never been a huge science fiction fan.

Ditto. My total was 33. Galaxy Quest is way more comedy than sci-fi as a genre, but okay. OTOH -- Hot Tub Time Machine is sci-fi? That's stretching it.

I know I've seen parts of a lot more of these, esp. the older classics, but I didn't count those.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

45 out of 300. Probably another 50 that I started but couldn’t finish.

Favorites are 2001 and Close Encounters. Sci Fi isn’t really my genre.

[Focault's Pendulum]

165.

Unfortunately one of those was District 9, the worst piece of crap, so much so, I almost walked out of the theater. And I have never walked out of a theater.

Upon leaving, some guy wondered aloud how soon the sequel would come out. I wanted to slap him senseless.

[VanDeKoik]

115.

And I saw a boatload of movies that I now want to see!

[D_Idaho]

The catch is, you have to have watched them all the way through. Many of these I’ve attempted to watch but never made it through to the end because they were either too boring or simply bad (The remake of “The Day the Earth Stood Still” comes to mind.) Take Fritz Lang’s 1929 “Woman in the Moon” for example. Since I was a kid reading “Famous Monsters of FIlmland” magazine I’ve read how great it was. When I finally got a chance to watch it on Netflix, to my disappointment, I found it to be an utter bore. Congrats to Buzzfeed for irresistible click-bait though.

147. It appears I am a mad scientist

[RegulatorCountry]

Anyone who grew up with a television in the house in the seventies would have been exposed to the first sixty or so by default, from Saturday afternoon and late Saturday night programming. Fifties B-movies and sci-fi were a staple. I’ve seen 84 total. I gave up on movies for the most part by the late nineties. The acting became formulaic, the casting was rote involving some implausible set of actors who happened to be “hot” at the moment and the writing was trite. Special effects alone do not carry a movie. I also refuse to pay money to be propagandized.

[real saxophonist]

I’ve probably seen about half of them, up to the year 2000 or so. After that, not many.

[real saxophonist]

BTW, how many were given the MST3K treatment?

[hoagy62]

126 out of 300. I am surprised I haven’t seen more.

[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

226. I noticed that whenever I didn’t mark a movie, it happened in bunches. Some years are just devoid of any good films...

[left that other site]

129 out of 300.

[rlmorel]

I saw about 80% of the ones made after 1960, and only a few of those made before that.

I love Sci Fi movies.
