SCI-FI MOVIES OF THE 1960s

1960 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969

"You can describe a typical fifties sf movie but there's no such thing as a typical sixties sf movie. Thematically, sf cinema diversified during this period and examined as a whole presents an eclectic range of subjects. It had also escaped, to some extent, from its B-movie status . . . including Hitchcock, Kubrick, Godard, Frankenheimer, Truffaut, Losey, Lumet, Shaffner and Sturges, though often there would be a defensive announcement from the filmmaker concerned that his movie was not really science fiction but something, well, more important; this still goes on today." - John Brosnan (The Primal Screen)
