With Super 8 currently in theaters (and JJ Abrams hoping people turn out for his original film that doesn't involve transforming vehicles and Marvel superheroes), Complex compiled a list of 50 of their favorite sci fi films of all time. Out of the 50, I compiled 30 of my all-time favorites. I would have done like all the other sites and give a long, boring explanation as to why I like these films, but sometimes you have to let the movies speak for themselves and not allow other opinions to effect your own thinking. Feel free to comment and mention some of your favorites.
