Let's face it - modern sci-fi movies look nothing like their predecessors from the 50s and 60s. Contemporary fantasy imagery is far too slick and self-important to be delightful.
The sense of wonder disappeared from sci-fi a long time ago, but don't worry, there are still great oldies to watch, and here are 15 of the best examples of vintage sci-fi:
Yes, some of the movies on this list are almost 70 years old, but that shouldn't stop you from watching them. On the contrary, if you've always wanted to watch black and white movies, but were afraid to, then this list will definitely help you!
