Must-See Sci-Fi Project
I’m having fun and am on target with watching the 50 science fiction films listed in the cool Turner Classic Movies (TCM) book called Must-See Sci-Fi: 50 Movies that Are Out of This World by Sloan De Forest (Running Press, 2018; available at Amazon.com and Shop TCM). (And I said that I’ve watched five of the films but I’ve actually watched six so far…my bad.) More details about the book and movie watching project are on this blog post.
Here are the films I’ve watched so far:
- A Trip to the Moon (1902)
- Metropolis (1927)
- Frankenstein (1931)
- Island of Lost Souls (1932)
- The Invisible Man (1933)
- Things to Come (1936)
Feel free to follow along on the Movies Past and Present Instagram feed.
Thanks for Tuning In!
