Sci-Fi / Fantasy film recommendations

[lambysdad]

Hi all,

As it will soon be Winter (I'm overseas just now), I'd like to start planning which films I can watch during my time off on those long dreary days.

Haven't seen a good Sci-Fi / Fantasy film in ages so would be good to know if any are worth watching....obviously Star Wars is top of the list!

Over to you

Thanks Eric,

I have those you listed on DVD / Blu Ray....although 2001 is high on the list to watch again soon.

I was hoping there have been some 'future classics' made recently.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
Here's what I currently have on my list;

Star Wars - The Force Awakens
James Bond - Spectre
Mad Max - Fury Road
The Hunger Games - Mockingjay
The Martian
Maze Runner - The Scorch Trials
Jurassic World
The Last Witch Hunter
Avengers - Age of Ultron
Ex Machina

I fully expect to be disappointed by at least one of these

Difficult to narrow down exactly what I like...more traditional Sci-Fi / Fantasy really.

Not into animation
Do not want to see Game of Thrones (I'm guessing that's what GoT is?), as I prefer the books.

Was hoping for more recent films, I see a lot listed on flights which 'look' ok, but would rather watch them on a bigger screen with decent sound.

In response to Eric...no I don't class James Bond as anything other than action....but I would like to see the film.
