|
 | Starship Troopers
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.46 This is one I'm somewhat reluctant to put in, but since it involves interplanetary wars and alien intelligence--why the hell not.
|

|
 | Videodrome - Criterion Collection
Buy new: $31.49 / Used from: $16.98 What do you do with this movie? Is it horror or is it science fiction? Because it has something to say in spite of its gross out factor I call it science fiction. Cronenberg is always hard to categorize.

|
 | Close Encounters of the Third Kind (30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition)
Buy new: $17.49 / Used from: $8.89 Everyone knows this film, and it certainly fits the category. It was a toss up between this one and E.T.
|
 | The Wild Blue Yonder
Buy used from: $20.83 I haven't seen this, but the fact that its an experimental science fiction/mocumentary film starring Brad Dourif, directed by Werner Herzog, and it has angered a lot of people who have attemped to watch it is good enough for me!
|
 | The Brother From Another Planet
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $2.41 A true science fiction gem from John Sayles that proves that the worth of a film lies in its ideas not in its special effects.

|
 | It Came From Outer Space
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $7.98 We gave the aliens a good scare. Be careful where your ship breaks down! Too bad that this wasn't included in the Harryhausen films that were colorized recently--its probably my second favorite next to 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH.
|
 | Village of the Damned/Children of the Damned
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.99 The kids in the second film are much less threatening as the 1960's really started to kick in. Super intelligence of any sort has always seemed to be threatening to Americans. Perhaps that explains why we keeps electing politicians who screw things up so royally.
