Quick, can you name ten truly great science fiction films? You probably could, and the movies you just thought of would no doubt rank pretty high on everyone else's list. But if you were to consider all science fiction movies, including those outside of your lifetime and foreign films, too, would it be so easy to rank them? Have you even seen 150 science fiction movies? It's a pretty broad category, which includes space travel, time travel, speculative fiction, and futuristic technology. The list includes blockbusters, B-movies, kid's movies, silent films, comedies, and animation. Sure, you'll want to argue about the rankings, and that's what gets lists like these a lot of clicks, but it would be better to read about the movies you haven't seen, because you might enjoy them very much. Check out Rolling Stone's list of the 150 greatest science fiction movies of all time. -via Digg

No Riddick though. Could be craptacular but a personal guilty pleasure series.
