20 Favorite Sci-Fi Films – Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) This may be my favorite sci-fi of all time. I absolutely love this movie.

20 Favorite Sci-Fi Films – 2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) – Director: Stanley Kubrick Although this list of favorite sci-fi films is not in any sort of order, the fact that this was the first film to pop into my head says something.
