Greatest Classic Sci-Fi Movies Made Before Star Wars According to MovieWeb

Star Wars has been around since 1977 and fundamentally changed the sci-fi landscape, but a lot of people don't realize how many science-fiction films have come before the tumultuous space opera. Admittedly, before Star Wars, science-fiction films were for more of a niche audience. Much of the genre was simply not taken seriously before George Lucas came around, and great genre films like The Blob and Godzilla did not receive as much love from the Academy Awards, being dismissed as B-movies by critics and cinephiles (until they received intellectual reappraisals over recent decades which explored their brilliance, with Godzilla now referred to as poetry).
