Test Your 1990s Sci-Fi Movie Queue!

So you are a Sci-fi movie fan! And you're a die hard Nineties kid.  You wear both medals proudly.  But just how many Science Fiction films from the 90s have you really seen? I got this list from a search on imdb.  I actually posted this a while ago, but did a new search for this update. At the time of this post the 2014 Godzilla film came out, which probably explains why Godzilla 1998 is third.  The search results change daily, but let's stick with this for now.

Go down the list and mark the first three films that you have never seen before, even partially. If you want to skip movies that you intentionally didn't watch then that's okay; I can't blame you for your possibly good tastes. The real test is to see which popular movies you missed entirely, whether in the theater or after the fact on TV.  So how far can you get? Past 50? Past 100? Past 5? I guess we will see.

My first film that got me was 147 - The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human (1999). I can't quite recall seeing it thought I've heard of it before.  Since the full film is on Youtube, I'll probably be checking it out.  Looks like a Mating Guide out of Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe.

I hope some of you go back and watch the ones you might have missed. And if you didn't make it pass the first one, you need to attend the Geek Soul Brother school of Classic Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror before it becomes critical. I wish I had a school like that because it would be a crazy job that I would do all day.  Stay tuned for more lists from other decades. Later geeks.

  1. Hey I did alright! I didn't see a few of them like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995), Pi (1998), Godzilla 2000 (1999) and The City of Lost Children (1995) but I'd seen most. Some I wish I hadn't seen like Super Mario Bros. (1993).

    1. You got some work to do Milaxx! lol But out of this list, I suggest you watch these three - Ghost in the Shell, Cube and Existanz. Pretty good scifi films though Cube is low budget and a horror.
