Sci-Fi

Modern science fiction movies provide&nbsp;audiences with a wide range of subject matter. The genre offers a lot of flexibility, as it is capable of telling stories set on Earth or in outer space.

It taps directly into our collective imagination.The best new sci-fi films have continued this tradition. The genre has benefited from modern advancements in special effects technology. As CGI becomes more and more sophisticated, it's possible for movies to take on bigger ideas and to depict astonishing sights with more authenticity than ever before. Consequently, a couple of the more recent sci-fi movies have already come close to achieving "classic" status.&nbsp;Vote up your favorites from this list of new sci-fi movies.

Nickelodeon: Nick Is for Kids

Nickelodeon

Most people probably think of Walt Disney Studios when it comes to kids' movies. After all, it's the original kids' movie studio, which has been churning out hits for nearly a century.

Jack Black

Jack Black is a unique presence <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jack-black-behind-the-scenes-stories/anncasano">in movies</a>. He's got wild energy and the kind of intense charisma that guarantees you can't look at anything else whenever he's onscreen. He doesn't fall into the category of conventional leading men, like Tom Cruise, nor is he a chameleon like Daniel Day-Lewis, who becomes unrecognizable by diving into whatever character he's portraying. What he does instead is take his singular persona and adapt it for each film. When he needs to go crazy, he goes all out. When he needs to pull back, he shows restraint.Dewey Finn in School of Rock is arguably his signature role, the one that makes the most of all his particular skills. A closer look at his filmography, though, reveals how diverse his career has truly been. Black has made <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/jack-black-movie-details/raelyn-giansanti">all kinds of films</a>, continually revealing different sides of his talent in the process. These performances deserve particular praise.&nbsp;

The Worlds of Science Fiction

Science fiction has always been something of a gamble for film studios. While there have been some epic films like&nbsp;2001: A Space Odyssey, for the most part, the genre is filled with a smattering of good movies, duds, and financial disasters. The biggest problem with sci-fi isn't that the movies aren't amazing; it's that the films tend to garner fan support from a niche community. When that happens, movies that are generally perceived as being bad because of their box office performance&nbsp;aren't bad at all.These sci-fi films have received generally poor reviews or had a terrible showing at the box office when they first hit theaters. Despite this, they are beloved by fans all across the world. For this list, only films that have a 69% or lower on Rotten Tomatoes are considered. Vote up the films worth a rewatch!

Prison

The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Great Escape, and Cool Hand Luke are the most revered and popular films set inside prisons. If you've seen all of them yet still crave a good story set in the Big House, check out one of the following underrated prison movies. Some are little-known titles, others movies that got noticed upon their original release, only to see their status fade over time. All of them are guaranteed to absorb you.What makes people want to spend time watching films about prisons and penitentiaries? Most likely it's because none of us would want to spend time in such places. Viewing movies about them allows us to vicariously face things that would terrify us in real life. Jails are inherently dramatic locations, anyway, where riots, hostage situations, and occasional abuses of authority occur. These underrated examples of prison cinema utilize those elements and more to give audiences a potent experience.

Daniel Craig

When Daniel Craig was announced as the new James Bond in 2005, the backlash was swift and severe. Fans and critics alike were dubious of the blonde-haired, blue-eyed British actor, known mainly for his domestic, indie cinema work. However, when Casino Royale was released a year later, Craig's rugged yet empathetic performance redefined the iconic spy and reset the narrative. Casino Royale was a massive success, grossing $594 million worldwide and earning positive reviews from critics.Craig went on to star in four more James Bond films, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time to Die, before ultimately hanging up his suit as the secret agent. Over his tenure as Bond, Craig starred in five films, earning nominations for several awards and grossing a total of $3.5 billion worldwide.&nbsp;This list ranks Daniel Craig James Bond movies.

Martin Scorsese

Martin Scorsese earned his 10th career Academy Award nomination for Best Director for the 2023 film Killers of the Flower Moon. With the nod, Scorsese surpassed Steven Spielberg (9) to be the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://people.com/oscars-2024-martin-scorsese-makes-history-with-10th-best-director-nomination-8547897">most-nominated living director</a> in Oscars history (William Wyler, who died in 1979, holds the overall record for the most Best Director nominations (12) in history).Scorsese made his feature directorial debut in 1967 with the low-budget independent film Who's That Knocking At My Door. With its New York City setting and its Italian American protagonist struggling to reconcile his lifestyle with his strong Catholic faith, the semi-autobiographical film introduced themes and character types that would quickly become recognized as Scorsese trademarks, as would his always-moving camerawork and graphic depictions of violence.Beginning with 1976's Taxi Driver, 10 of the director's films have been nominated for the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/greatest-academy-award-winners-for-best-picture?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Academy Award for Best Picture</a>. Although his reputation was built mainly on his crime dramas revolving around the Mafia or other unstable violent characters, Scorsese has proven adept at bringing his individual vision to films across a wide range of genres, from literary adaptations, biopics, and historical dramas to black comedies, character studies, and concert documentaries.There is a healthy debate over which of Scorsese's films is his best.
