The tone of science fiction films is often a guide to the tone of the times the film was made: other worlds and species are viewed in turn as wonderful, terrifying, threatening, incomprehensible, and childishly benign.
The following list of science fiction films include many that are notable and quite a few that are considered mediocre.
