Time for an update of the list of every science fiction film I’ve seen. Even though this is the most exhaustive list of science fiction films on the internet, anywhere – find me a more exhausting one – I’ve still found more films to watch from years gone by, which somehow got made and released without anyone knowing about it i.e. Laserhawk. And, no, that’s not a mistake, there have been three science films called Stranded. And why were so few SF films released in 1994?

I have also included a fake SF film as a kind of 'trap street' in the event of someone or something ripping off my list. Can you spot it?
