Aside from their high entertaintment value, speculative tales take us on imaginative journeys while also challenging us to reflect on the world. Whether you’re into extraterrestrial life or time travel, here are the best sci-fi and fantasy movies to stream.
Jules’ wacky premise — an extra-terrestrial crash-lands in eccentric widower Milton’s (Ben Kingsley) flowerbeds — is a bit of a misdirection. While the movie is technically a sci-fi (featuring, as it does, some very out-there alien engineering), it’s really a charming, mostly-human drama about the isolation and surreality of aging.
