Another listing of sci-fi movie lists to add to your list

Beneath the Planet of the ApesSo what are the most seminal moments in science fiction movie history? Here are 17 of them, complete with video clips for you to peruse. Be forewarned, that some of them might show spoilers. Also be forewarned that the credibility of the list may be in question since one of the films listed is Cloverfield. Seminal? Really?

How about a list of the best overlooked science fiction movies of the 80s? Here's the list, as chosen by readers of Wired, although I've got to question anything that considers Return of the Jedi as overlooked.

They've also come up with a list of favourite SF movies from the 1990s. Let's just say it wasn't a great decade for the genre.

While I'm listing lists, how about 22 bleak science fiction futures? Rather than have you slog through 22 screens on Entertainment Weekly's site, here's the rundown: The Road, I am Legend, A Clockwork Orange, Brazil, The Road Warrior, Escape from New York, Logan's Run, 12 Monkeys, Metroplis, The Matrix, Blade Runner, Akira, THX-1138, Dark City, Alphaville, Fahrenheit 451, The Omega Man, Soylent Green, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Death Race 2000, Back to the Future II and Gattaca. Can't disagree with any of them,

Some of the films mentioned above are in this list about the real-world locations used for science fiction films. The biggest revelation from that list is of a movie I have never heard of called The Girl from Monday. It looks like something to add to my ever-growing list of films to watch.

Want one more list? How about one about slavery? If you want to take bleak, think about a future where slavery is commonplace. Here are 10 such films.

Okay, just one more, if only to end on a high note. Here's a list of 10 cool science fiction worlds.
