Sci-Fi movies from the 80s

A time-travelling teen and an eccentric scientist change everything.

A small-town infestation, a doctor who can't stand spiders — and an oddly human lesson in courage.

They’ve saved the best trip for last... but this time, they may never get back.

A stitched-up superhero who doesn’t want to be one — but can’t stop playing the part.

Curiosity, culpability and a heartbeat of hubris — Nelson Wright drags you across the line.

A city under siege, an alien who treats the streets like a hunting ground — and a cop who refuses to let the paperwork win.

Memory, muscle and a very faulty holiday package — with Mars on the itinerary.

Handymen, Graboids and small‑town stubbornness — Tremors is a monster movie with a practical heart.

Friendship, face-offs with Death and a very silly Battle of the Bands — Bill & Ted do the afterlife, and it’s gloriously daft.

A killing machine learns to love, and the rest of the world tries very hard not to explode.

A bloke, a rocket pack and a stubborn refusal to grow up — The Rocketeer still flies on charm.

The nightmare followed her home.

A chainsaw, a misplaced modern man and a very silly book — still terrifically watchable.

A winter’s tale of outcasts, double lives and a city that loves its own spectacle.

A war-dead soldier, a stubborn reawakening and one very particular idea of self.

A hard‑nosed cop thawed to face a sanitised future — and civilisation doesn't know what hit it.

Dinosaurs, disaster and a paleontologist who refuses to treat them like a theme-park prop.

A wormhole, a soldier who has nothing left to lose, and gods who travel by spaceship.

A grieving cop, a misused time machine and the kind of moral choices you can't rewind.

A seductive, alarmingly literal alien — and a very 1990s panic about science, sex and containment.

A soaked epic about survival, maps on backs and a reluctant loner who becomes everybody's last hope.

A gleefully terrible invasion — and a president who treats panic like press coverage.

A crowd-pleasing shape-shift: comedy, prosthetics and one very complicated personality.

Ripley is back. But she's not quite the woman she used to be.

A neon toy box with a conscience — and a surprisingly human Batman at its centre.

A locked puzzle, a handful of people and Joan Leaven’s equations — Cube still makes logic feel dangerous.

A haunted ship, a pragmatic captain and the kind of scientific mistake that eats people from the inside.

Taciturn mentors, neuralyzers and a very small galaxy.

A blockbuster that looks like a recruitment film and reads like a dare.

A pop-opera of space, love and chaotic style — and Korben Dallas is the quiet heartbeat in the middle of it all.

Chaos theory, corporate greed and one improbably chatty scientist — welcome back to Site B.

A Texas‑sized rock, a crew who can drill and one stubborn foreman — Armageddon is all about getting the job done.

Amnesia, midnight architecture and one man who remembers enough to make trouble.

A comet, a reporter and a country finding out what matters when the clock is real.

Science versus firepower, a city on edge and one NRC scientist trying to make sense of the mess.

A black‑and‑white town learns to blusher — and a teenager who knows the script is the only person trying to keep order.

Teen outsiders, school staff that stop being themselves, and an alien infection that’s really about fitting in — with a very curious photographer at the centre.

Brains, blood and bad decisions — and Saffron Burrows in the middle of it all.

A boy teaches a giant to be human — and asks the rest of the world to behave like one.

Red pill, green code, one bloke trying to find himself — and a film that still asks the big questions in blockbuster clothes.
