THE TEN BEST SCIENCE FICTION FILMS OF ALL TIME

There were a few experiments with science fiction films in the early days of Hollywood but the genre really came into its own during the 1950s. This was mainly because of the sudden appearance of a large number of UFO sightings across the nation and also because of the earlier invention of the atomic bomb and the after effects it was known to cause. Many such movies during that decade were so-called B pictures made on a low budget with crude visual effects. But many were also top grade material that still hold up today such as The War of the Worlds, The Thing, and The Invasion of the Bodysnatchers and they were destined to be remade later in the century with new computer special effects.
