A science fiction reader(watcher)
A friend of mine asked for a list of recommended Science Fiction films. Of course, for someone new the genre, ease of viewing is very important. Many of these films made the list because of that property. The list is ordered so that you can watch one film per day. I try to make sure that difficult films are followed by easy ones so that the viewer will not be overwhelmed. Each week covers a particular theme. Enjoy!
