Description
If you're a sci-fi fan, like me, you probably have watched them all. If you're not, and wants to try deepest in the genre, here's a little guide of some of the best of them. It has a lot of different plots and don't expect them all to have spaceships or aliens. Movies are called "sci-fi" when it's elements are possible within scientific laws and theories, within the story context, of course. Go ahead and see trought the masks and dated special effetcs (remember tath our so fresh special effects are going to be stupid someday), and you'll not regret. But be careful: it can be addictive. :) They're ordered by release date. Suggestions are welcome. P.S.: I'm assuming most of you have watched movies like Matrix, Back to the Future, MIB and more popular pieces like those.
