Sci-Fi Cinema in the 1990s
by mike_sean | created - 06 Mar 2011 | updated - 06 Mar 2015 | PublicScience fiction movies from the nineties (1990-1999), including TV movies as well as stand-alone mini-series. This list uses a fairly strict definition of science fiction, and therefore does not include most films that deal with fantasy, the supernatural, or super heroes. Films that fall more under the umbrella of horror (like a lot of zombie and pandemic films) have also been omitted.
