Must-See Sci-fi: 50 Movies That Are Out of This World
by Sloan de Forest Author and Roger Corman Foreword
For fans of film — namely sci-fi, in this edition — this book documents the nine decades sci-fi, showcasing fifty of the strangest and influential movies of the genre. From A Trip to the Moon in 1902 to Arrival in 2016, the author presents a narrative explaining how sci-fi has a body of work that literally and figuratively goes beyond the stories, styles, and subject matter of any other genre in media. He’ll make a case for how these works have colored reality for people, but also influential on the ideas and presentations of the future. Inside, the reader will revisit tried and true classics the the 1968’s Planet of the Apes, as well as lesser-known but still important landmark works such as Things to Come (1936) and Solaris (1972). This book makes a great gift or read for the fans of the genre, film buffs, culture and media history nerds.
