Notes

  • Movies marked with "minor or negligible SF" elements aren't eligible for the main page or the Top 100. But they are worth a mention to help us discover minor SF elements out there.

  • Movies marked with 'Low Critic / High User' are from the "User Snub List" on the main page; they had average user ratings equal to or higher than the lowest meta-score that made the Top 100.
