This Collider article compiles ten science-fiction films the author considers "near-perfect" and worth rewatching, spanning several decades and styles. The selection highlights how strong sci-fi combines imaginative premises with lasting thematic depth, allowing the films to remain rewarding even after the twists and outcomes are already known.

Titles discussed so far include Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop (1987), praised as a satire of corporate greed and media culture wrapped in violent action; Soylent Green (1973), noted for its prescient warnings about overpopulation and environmental collapse; Robert Zemeckis's Contact (1997), starring Jodie Foster as a scientist searching for extraterrestrial life; and Silent Running, centred on a botanist preserving Earth's remaining plant life in space. The full list totals ten films, though the provided text is incomplete and cuts off after four entries.
