FAQ
The Full Sci-Fi List: Questions & Answers
How the 1,475 ranked sci-fi films on this list are ordered, why the other 9,196 are not ranked and how to narrow the list down.
How is the full list of sci-fi movies ranked?
Best first. Ranked by Echo Score; 860 of these 1,475 films have none (released before 2017, when Echo Scores start) and are ranked by a blend of their Metascore and IMDb/Letterboxd user ratings. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) is #1, ahead of The Wild Robot (2024). A film is ranked when it runs at least an hour and has a score, box office, an award nomination or enough votes.
The sci-fi ranking Why are only 1,475 of the 10,671 sci-fi films ranked?
A film is ranked when it runs at least an hour and has a score, box office, an award nomination or enough votes; shorts, films with too few ratings and re-release records stay off the ranking, which leaves 9,196 sci-fi films unranked. They are still on the site: sort the list by newest, oldest or title A–Z to reach them.
How do I filter sci-fi movies by decade or language?
Use the filters above the list: a decade or year, an original language, or only films with a plot summary, the ending explained or an after-credits scene; the sort switches between rating, release date, box office, budget and title. The 2010s have the most ranked sci-fi films (467), then the 2020s (419). Outside English, Japanese (1,457 films) and Spanish (333 films) have the most sci-fi films.
