Science Fiction, or Sci-Fi as it’s is known as by its fans, is no exception
.
Sci-Fi films have been around since the Silent Movie Era and while not as common as most other forms of films, Sci-Fi flicks consistently show up on the Silver Screen year-after-year. Some are good and some are not so good.
In TCM Turner Classic Movies Must-See Sci-Fi, as written and compiled by Sloan De Forest, and published by Running Press, readers are treated to the top ’50 Movies That Are Out Of This World.’
Beginning with the Silent Era classic film A Trip To The Moon, the book culminates with the recent Arrival film.
Full color and black and white photos (some of which I have never seen before) along with movie poster reproductions, tell the tale of some of the greatest Sci-Fi films of all time.
Metropolis, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Them! War Of The Worlds, The Time Machine, Godzilla, Forbidden Planet, The Fly, Fantastic Voyage, Silent Running, Star Wars and Back To The Future are just a few of the stellar films examined in full in this fact-filled filmography.
Film making magic is examined fully with insider secrets revealed, cast, crew and director selections, production decisions and every aspect of making classic Sci-Fi films are examined film-by-film.
It’s more than a book about making films, it’s a book filled with personal accounts, humorous escapades, unexpected moments and it credits the hard work by film makers to complete each ground-breaking film listed.
