Part of my series of meta-lists for genre or theme completionists!
Unlike TSxDT, this megalist is NOT ranked by points of placements on other lists and there's no cut-off point.
Some of the titles here will be noise bc of a few lists split with fantasy but they're towards end.

too large but will have several major omissions:
iCM Forum's Favorite Sci-fi Movies, all votes
Best Steampunk Movies Of All-Time (Cinema Dailies) - exhaustive list of steampunk movies

too many low-rated movies:
They Travel Time Don't They (top 100)

See some science lists:
Popular Mechanics' The 30 Best Movies and TV Shows About Space
All in one. Lists of scientific movies about accurate science

Here's a top list of robots:
Paste's The 100 Greatest Movie Robots of All Time

These 7 lists are something to switch to when this list is completed.

This most interesting time travel list is developing, so I won't be adding the extra movies for the time being (haha, the time being awaits):
Time Travel Movies ranked by BaTTR score

What tags are good for this?
(Post)apocalypse, dystopia, utopia, time travel, space (opera, exploration), pandemics, aliens, cyberpunk, steampunk (and other punk), parallel universe, robot, android, cyborg, genetic, accurate
I'm not including superhero lists as that one even has its own They Wear Capes Don't They list. Anyway it's more fantasy than sci.
