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 watched it again with my kids the other day, hoping they’d enjoy it like I did. Towards the end, but far enough away for it not to be obvious, my youngest said

    Tap for spoiler

    “I bet the ship’s underwater”

    which was disappointing in that she guessed one of the twists, but at least it shows she was paying attention!
