TCM Out of This World: A Celebration of Sci-Fi Movies banner

The Turner Classic Movies (TCM) network will be launching their “Out of This World: A Celebration of Sci-Fi Movies” programming this July with a series of 34 classic science fiction movies, including the original Star Wars, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Close Encounter of the Third Kind, and more.

Airing every Tuesday this month starting at 8pm EST, TCM will air scifi favorites such as 1951’s The Day the Earth Stood Still, 1958’s The Fly, 1968’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, along with several moon-related features to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s historic Moon landing.

Below are some of the highlighted films, per TCM; visit their site for the full schedule.
