The Criterion Collection is famous for curating films that changed cinema. Sci-fi is often underrepresented in that canon, yet the genre has produced some of the most daring, beautiful, and provocative works in film history. With this in mind, this list looks at some sci-fi movies that deserve a spot in the famed Closet. The titles below use the future to challenge the present, asking who we are, what we fear, and where we might be going. Each needs a place in the Collection, not only for their artistry but for how they expand our understanding of what sci-fi cinema can achieve.
