Top 10 Sci-fi Comedies
Now that Halloween is over, we're going to lighten things up a bit. This month we're counting down the ten best sci-fi comedies. There are a couple of rules we had to come up with this month as to what qualifies as a sci-fi comedy film and what does not.
The Rules
- Comedy must be a primary aspect of the film. This excludes films that have funny moments but try mostly for something other than comedy, such as action. (Independence Day, for instance, is out of the running.)
- "Film," here, includes television shows as well, as long as they are standalone, non-serial, and at least 45 minutes long. (Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes are out, Robot Chicken: Star Wars is out, Blue Harvest, the Family Guy Star Wars parody, is in.)
- Direct-to-video and -DVD films qualify as long as they are at least 45 minutes long. (Hardware Wars is out).
- If a direct-to-video or -DVD film appeared as a serial after or upon being released, it qualifies. (Futurama direct-to-DVDs are in.)
That should cover it. Now, let's get on with the countdown...
