Sci-fi, perhaps more than any other genre, lends itself to producing cult classics. After all, by definition, the genre deals with speculative and futuristic ideas, meaning that they're always literally ahead of their time. Sometimes, science fiction films wind up being too forward-thinking for contemporary audiences, being dismissed on release only to be hailed as masterpieces decades later.
