The Best Sci-Fi Films of the Year | By Year: 1920 to 2009
Including Superhero Films
Compiled by SFMZ Webmaster
For the last several decades, select sci-fi films seem to stand out from all other films of the same genre in the year they were released. Weighing in viewer / critical acclaim, award organizations accolades, and select All Time lists, SFMZ presents the best sci-films by year beginning with 1920 to 2009.
Sources used to judge the best sci-fi films of the year include Rottentomatoes.com, Metacritic.com, IMDB.com, and various sites containing All Time Lists. For the early years, I allowed matinee serials to be included since they were the dominate box office format for sci-fi stories such as in the thirties and forties.
Keep in mind that this is just one of many formats to determine the best sci-films of their respective year, but averaging in critc's consensus, general audience input, film group / committee's praise, and earned accolades, it does give a broad spectrum of resources with no one critical sector dominating the final results.
You'll notice that a few films are listed the best for more than one year in this list. Some years simply did not offer anything of value for that given year, so no film was selected and the year number is included in the next eligible sci-fi film of the year.
The SFMZ Final Score is base on a 1.00 to 10.00 scale. 8.00 and higher are sci-fi films often regarded as classics for older films, and for newer films, they are often regarded by viewers and critics as a must see. Also check out the Final Analysis for the 50 best sci-fi films gathered on one page and Data Collected info.
For each decade, you will also see SFMZ'S Best Sci-Fi Film of the Decade award image (like the examples above) on the movie poster of the film that has been judged as the best of that given decade.
