We love science fiction (sci-fi) movies, well, the good ones since there are several of them made throughout the years. We're Startrek and Stargate fans.
Within the sci-fi movies genre, there are actions, adventures, thrillers, aliens, fantasies, dramas, martial arts, foreign, supernatural, even horror. So there's a variety to choose from.
One of our favorite past times is watching movies, both at the theater and at home; well mostly DVDs at home since it's more economical that way. This lens is about sci-fi movies we love or like a lot. The list is a work in progress and in no specific order.
E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Starring: Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore, Director: Steven Spielberg, Rating: PG
Steven Spielberg's 1982 smash hit tells the heartwarming story of the special bond 10-year-old Elliot (Henry Thomas) forges with an alien he names E.T. The adventures they share as Elliot tries to hide his new friend and E.T. tries to get back to his planet ("E.T. phone home!") provide plenty of action, laughter and tears.

Back to the Future (1985)
Starring: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Director: Robert Zemeckis, Rating: PG
Eccentric inventor Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) turns a DeLorean into a time machine that inadvertently sends his young friend Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) back to 1955. Not only is Marty stuck in the past, but he also risks throwing the time-space continuum for a real loop when he disrupts his parents' destiny. It's a race against time (literally!) to get them to pucker up -- and to get him back to 1985!
