I was reading this list of the 50 greatest sci-fi movies of the last 50 years, and it was all fairly predictable. There’s only a couple that I’d disagree with, but there were a few that would have made the list in place of them if I were compiling it myself, and I realised my additions were less mainstream or less critically acclaimed than were on there.

What guilty-pleasure sci-fi movies would you recommend?

For starters, ones I’ve watched a bunch of times would be:

Dredd (2012)

Pandorum (2009)

Lockout (2012)

Monsters (2010)

    For me would have to be:

    Johnny Mnemonic

    District 9

    Mars Attacks

    Natural City

    Pacific Rim

    *Edit to add 12 Monkeys

      This is the first time hearing of Natural City. Seeing it with all those other movies, though, makes me wanna find it because it has to be good to fit with the others.

      (Btw, you need to hit two line breaks to get new lines)

        Thanks for the reminder, the markdown on mobile caches me sideways if I’m not paying attention (which is more often than not)

      +1 for Johnny Mnemonic

      Not familiar with natural city.

      District 9, Mars Attacks, and Pacific Rim are masterpieces and I will hear no criticisms.

        IMDB Natural City

        I was running a video rental store at the time and discovered it as one of our new release foreign titles.
