I was reading this list of the 50 greatest sci-fi movies of the last 50 years, and it was all fairly predictable. There’s only a couple that I’d disagree with, but there were a few that would have made the list in place of them if I were compiling it myself, and I realised my additions were less mainstream or less critically acclaimed than were on there.

What guilty-pleasure sci-fi movies would you recommend?

For starters, ones I’ve watched a bunch of times would be:

Dredd (2012)

Pandorum (2009)

Lockout (2012)

Monsters (2010)

    I keep reading that Event Horizon is supposed to be a flawed movie. I disagree, and quite like it. “Go in blind”, as in don’t read up on the plot, if you plan on seeing it, though.

      It’s great, and Sam Neill is a superb antagonist. It ruined every other film of his I’ve watched since though, because all I can picture is him as a manifestation of insanity.

      The last quarter of the movie has a weird tone shift that I don’t want to get too deep into here.
