While we often see sci-fi movies tied into dystopian dramas, this genre dovetails perfectly with comedy, ranging from the surreal to the slapstick. The best sci-fi comedy movies include, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Paul, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Men in Black, Don’t Look Up, Idiocracy, Spaceballs, Mars Attacks!, and Back to the Future. Other notable mentions in this category include Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Galaxy Quest, Ghostbusters, and Attack the Block.
