SciFi Movies that I can watch again and again
Like every science fiction fan, I was at the theater to watch StarWars The Force Awakens over mine and Dennis’s Christmas break. We enjoyed it a great deal. I don’t care about what other people decided to argue about. To me, the films must stand alone and it does.
So I decided to make a lists about those certain films that are pleasurably rewatchable. Some of these films are new, some are classics. but here are my favorite dramatic and horror science fiction films. You will totally notice that I tend to love double features.
1) Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986)
Directed by
The Nostromo receives a distress call from an unexplored planet. After searching for survivors, the crew including , , realize a deadly alien has joined them. For new viewers of this film, it is easy to forget how groundbreaking it actually was.
In the sequel, Aliens, the planet that they found the alien on has been colonized. When they lose contact with the colony, Signory Weaver and space marines go back to discover what happened. With all practical effects, these movies still holds up. I have to be honest I don’t generally watch Alien 3 which I feel is the weakest film in the franchise. Aliens Resurrection is okay. Sometimes we watch it as a triple feature, just because we are in an aliens type of mood. And if we need a fourth film we can always slide in AVP or Prometheus. 
2) The Thing (1982)
Directed by
A US scientific team in the Antarctic , , , , are confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the creatures it kills.
3) The Thing from Another World (1951)
Directed by
Starring, , , and , this film follows a group of scientists and the US Air Force fend off a blood-thirsty alien organism while at a remote arctic outpost. What I love about this film compared to the 1982 version, is that the characters joke with each other and seem to really enjoy this film while still taking it seriously.
4) Interstellar (2014)
Directed by
A team of explorers, which includes and travel through a wormhole in space in an attempt to ensure humanity’s survival. Other than a pointless death in the middle of the film, I loved this movie.
5) The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961)
Directed by
Two English reporters, played by and discover the USA and Russia unwittingly test atomic bombs at the same time. This alters the nutation and the orbit of the Earth.
This film romanizes the time when being a science reporter was an exciting job that actually paid a salary. It is a classic End of the World tale. 
6) The Prestige (2006)
Directed by
and are stage magicians who try to one-up each other in an attempt to create the ultimate stage illusion. steals the show in a supporting role and appears as Nikola Tesla. While it is not a traditional “science fiction” film it has science fiction and fantasy elements.
7)2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
Directed by
2010 (1984)
Directed by
In 2001, Humanity finds a mysterious, obviously artificial object buried beneath the Lunar surface and, , , with the intelligent computer H.A.L. 9000, sets off to discover its origins and purpose.
In 2010, a joint U.S.-Soviet expedition with
8) Blade Runner (1982)
Directed by
In this gritty dystopian police drama, plays a blade runner who must pursue and terminate four replicants, , , and who returned to Earth to find their creator in hope to lengthen their shortened lifespans.
9) Jurassic Park (1993)
Directed by
A theme park/zoo—that spares no expense—suffers major corporate espionage that allows its cloned dinosaur to escape their pens and try to eat , , and .
(Note: I love this first one, I don’t necessarily love the sequels.)
10) When Worlds Collide (1951)
Directed by Rudolph Maté
As a new star and planet hurtle toward Earth, a small group of scientists, technicians and industrialists frantically work to complete the rocket which will take 40 survivors to their new home. Starring , , in a slightly annoying love triangle, the rest of the movie is fantastic.
And one more: that I have only seen once, but I think its very rewatchable, so I’m going to give it an honorable mention: The Martian.
