 | This Island Earth
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $6.83 One of the best. Has a bit of everything: science, intrique, subterfuge... My #1 favorite classic science fiction movie.
|
 | Destination Moon
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $1.99 A great, if dated, look, at what would become science fact only ten years further down the road.
|
 | It Came From Outer Space
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $6.88 An interesting vignette about a man who tries to protect the town from aliens, when it is actually the aliens who are trying to protect the town from him.
|
 | H.G. Wells' First Men in the Moon
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.65 Another "interesting" look at travel to the moon.
|
 | The War of the Worlds (Special Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.99 One of the best science fiction movies ever made, in my opinion. Follows H. G. Wells' story for the most part. Added scenes don't take away from the story.
|
 | Forbidden Planet (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $8.66 / Used from: $5.99 What sci-fi list would be complete without this perennial classic. I never get tired of watching this one. Walter Pidgeon played the perfect borderline madman with his unfortunate "Id."
|
 | Them! (Snap Case)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $10.92 An interesting vignette that shows what might happen when nuclear testing gets out of hand. Something to think about, perhaps...
|
 | The Blob - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $30.99 / Used from: $27.39 Another interesting vignette, this time with teenagers who find something "different," and their attempts to notify the local populace.
|
 | Fantastic Voyage (Special Edition)
Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $6.98 A well-done sci-fi classic, only this time dealing with "inner" space instead of outer space.
|
 | The Day the Earth Stood Still
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $4.29 A science fiction classic with a message...
|
 | Planet of the Apes
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $5.73 The movie that started it all, with an excellent performance by Charlton Heston. The best of the "Apes" movies.
|
 | Soylent Green
Buy used from: $8.00 What happens when the world runs out of food to feed the masses? It finds other "sources," some of which you'd be better off NOT knowing.
|
 | Fahrenheit 451
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $4.98 Imagine a future where books have been banned and fire departments are used for book burnings...
|
 | The Time Machine
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $8.97 Another classic from H. G. Wells about an inventor wishing to escape the horrors of his time, only to travel into the future and find... what?
|
 | Metropolis (Restored Authorized Edition)
Buy new: $25.49 / Used from: $16.95 An early look at the future of mankind as envisioned by Fritz Lang. Not from the 50's or 60's, but still an essential movie nevertheless. One of the first science fiction classics.
|
 | Invaders from Mars (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $3.80 The Martians are coming! The Martians are coming! Oh, nevermind, they're already here!
|

|
 | Mysterious Island (Widescreen)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $3.74 The sequel to "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea." And we thought Captain Nemo was dead?!?
|
 | Journey to the Center of the Earth
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $4.99 An interesting, although somewhat ethereal, story of what we "might" find if we traveled to places far under our feet.
