Unsorted list of post-apocalyptic, dystopian and cyberpunk films.

Vin Diesel in The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)

A curated collection celebrating workplace comedies from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, blending sharp satire and exceptional dialogue.

Chevy Chase, Ken Jeong, Joel McHale, Jim Rash, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, and Donald Glover in Community (2009)

My favorites of this niche genre, even if some cross the scifi boundary into fantasy/horror. Or are unintentionally funny (see Uchu daikaiju Girara).

Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future (1985)

Some movies are (unjustly) famous for being "the greatest", like The Godfather.

Michala Banas, Robyn Malcolm, Rhys Mitchell, Robyn Nevin, Glenn Robbins, Patrick Brammall, Lara Robinson, Annie Maynard, Madeleine Maxwell, Harrison Feldman, and Dougie Baldwin in Upper Middle Bogan (2013)

Live action only. The first 5, 10, 20 are essential and in organized subjective rankings. After that it's less structured.

Steve Coogan in I'm Alan Partridge (1997)

Jerry O'Connell, Dawnn Lewis, Fred Tatasciore, Gillian Vigman, Paul Scheer, Eugene Cordero, Noël Wells, Jack Quaid, Gabrielle Ruiz, and Tawny Newsome in Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020)

Recommended series that spend a substantial amount of time in space or on other planets. Given the format, many are Comedies.

Space Operas - Science Fiction Television

Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito, Pedro Pascal, Shirley Henderson, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Katee Sackhoff, Amy Sedaris, Omid Abtahi, Emily Swallow, and Katy O'Brian in The Mandalorian (2019)

The technology wasn't ready to do justice to comic book/superhero films until the last 20 years of the millennium. These are the ones worth your time. Listed by release date. "Decent" means a rating of 6 or higher.

Decent Comic Book Movies of the 20th Century

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)

The best of the UK, the (many animated) American titles that keep up, a trio of insane Canadian shows & a pair of Australian parodies. It's the world's best English language comedy television!

My list of very good sci-fi movies including foreign and independent. Excludes super hero and comedic films. This isn't a list best to worst, only grouped by my rating.

Anthony Daniels, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, David Prowse, and Kenny Baker in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)

“You know. 1966? 79 episodes, about 30 good ones.” - Fry

Presented in broadcast order.

Sally Kellerman and Gary Lockwood in Star Trek (1966)

Parallel, post-apocalyptic, dystopian or alien invaded earths.

Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner in Jeremiah (2002)

Important, hilarious, or just must-see works of anime all Western audiences should endeavor to view.

A collection of Earth's Star Wars rip-offs, homages and MST3k fodder. Ordered by release.

It's been fun catching up on 60 year's worth of samurai titles since discovering them at the turn of the century. I'm on the lookout for samurai flicks from the late 50s through the early 70s I haven't seen yet.

Toshirô Mifune, Minoru Chiaki, Yoshio Inaba, Daisuke Katô, Isao Kimura, Seiji Miyaguchi, Takashi Shimura, and Keiko Tsushima in Seven Samurai (1954)

Subject to change wildly as the past is altered!

Rabid scifi fans may have heard of some of these titles; worthwhile shows that should have had bigger followings.

Science Fiction Television You May Have Missed

A list of worthwhile science fiction comedies that aren't as well-known as they should be.

A list of classic war films from the 20th century.

Alec Guinness, William Holden, Jack Hawkins, Sessue Hayakawa, Geoffrey Horne, and Ann Sears in The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

Some entries have admittedly marginal political content. I've kept those near the bottom of the list.
