Sci-Fi Cinema in the 1980s
Science fiction movies from the eighties (1980-1989), including TV movies as well as stand-alone mini-series. This list uses a fairly strict definition of science fiction, and therefore does not include most films that deal with fantasy, the supernatural, or super heroes. Films that fall more under the umbrella of horror (like a lot of zombie and pandemic films) have also been omitted.
Underrated Sci-Fi Films of the 80's
Yes, this list is too long but this is my favorite decade for Sci-Fi films. And yes, you will find many cheesy and just idiotic movies here but I can't help myself. I love them all
