Science Fiction TV series I've watched ranked by my enjoyment.

Excluding super hero shows, too many out there so they could have their own list and better ranked against each other.

Some shows I have not watched yet; Biohackers, If I Hadn't Met You, Snowpiercer, Star Trek: Discovery, Man in the High Castle (started), Handmaidens Tale (started), Threshold, Reverie, The Prisoner, The Outer Limits (both versions), Star Blazers, and Space: Above and Beyond, Utopia, Astro Boy, Millennium, Aeon Flux, Middleman, Now and Again, Blake's 7, The Rain, Max Headroom, Astro Boy, Alien Nation, Buck Rogers, Earth: Final Conflict, Earth 2, Time Trax, V ('83), Final Space, Severance (started)

Richard Dean Anderson, Christopher Judge, Michael Shanks, and Amanda Tapping in Stargate SG-1 (1997)

My favorite natural disaster movies.

Not including dystopian movies where the disaster has already happened. Example: Children of Men, a great movie, based on a natural disaster (biological). But it's more about the aftermath and not the event itself. There are a bunch of dystopian movies like that (Waterworld, Silent Running, Day the Earth Stood Still...etc)

I am no longer maintaining this list. See my most updated list @ https://letterboxd.com/quietvermonter/list/favorite-natural-disaster-films/

Ewan McGregor, Naomi Watts, Oaklee Pendergast, Tom Holland, and Samuel Joslin in The Impossible (2012)

Must have elements of science which are plausible, but not yet proven or well understood (at least at the time of the films creation). If the science only plays a small role in the movie, aka it could have been excluded, then I’m not counting it. 

Monster (horror), alien (horror), superhero, fantasy, dystopian, apocalyptic movies are excluded as science fiction elements. Movies containing those elements could also be in this list for other reasons, but no guarantee. I keep separate "favorite" lists for these other categories as they are more easily compared and ranked against each other.

NOTE: I am not maintaining this list moving forward. See my updated list @ https://letterboxd.com/quietvermonter/list/favorite-science-fiction-films/

The story must be primarily driven by the dystopian elements. Some of these movies I'd really like to put on my primary science fiction list, but I thought the dystopian elements outweighed the other science fiction elements too much. Others are just overflow I wanted to track in a SF list.

NOTE: Any movie series are ranked together as one and I just picked one of the movies in the series.

My favorite 50 romantic/drama films with science fiction/fantasy elements. Tried to focus on movies not on my main SF list, though some are crossovers.... they are just too good. Also kept it to 50 so it's not just list every movie in the genre. Forces thought, comparison, and compromise.

Favorite Romance and Drama Science Fiction Films

Title says it all. I don't like comparing these movies against other science fiction sub-genres and excluded these sub-genre's from cluttering up my main SF top 50. They can be fairly-ish compared against each other though.

NOTES: For movies as part of a series of movies, only the first is listed, but ranked as a whole. Also, I'm not a huge fan of these sub-genres, so don't take my rankings that seriously. I'm not watching these over and over really analyzing them. Mostly just capturing what I've watched.

Favorite Alien, Monster, Demon, Ghost, Horror, Zombie Films

Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Laura Dern, Sam Neill, Ariana Richards, BD Wong, Joseph Mazzello, Martin Ferrero, and Bob Peck in Jurassic Park (1993)

My top 10 here I'd love to place on my main Science Fiction list. Love them. Just when weighing the science fiction elements against the other elements, they fell short of having enough to boost them in. Great movies to watch though

In general this list is a mix-grab-bag of films I for one reason or another considered somewhat related to science fiction, yet not enough to make my main SF ranked list

Favorite Comedy, Family, Misc. Science Fiction Films

Anna Faris, Dean Lennox Kelly, Chris O'Dowd, and Marc Wootton in Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009)

Matt Stone and Trey Parker in Make Love, Not Warcraft (2006)

I'm not a huge super hero movie fan, but I've tracked a list of them I've seen. I didn't want them on my main Science Fiction list, believe they are best compared only against each other. Probably missing some really obvious ones here.

Note that I select only the first movie of the series that I've seen, but my ranking of it is based on the series as a whole.

Gene Hackman, Terence Stamp, Ned Beatty, Christopher Reeve, Jackie Cooper, Sarah Douglas, Jeff East, Margot Kidder, Jack O'Halloran, Valerie Perrine, and Susannah York in Superman (1978)
