8. 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Director: Stanley Kubrick

Kubrick’s genius lies in his clever use of perspective and narrative tension to tell a compelling story, and I could make a case of why any film by this director should make this list. However, 2001 is probably his greatest sci-fi masterpiece ever written, focusing on universal concepts like life, death, evolution, and rebirth. Accompanied by special effects and visual composition that remain outstanding, this movie is undoubtedly one of the greatest film pieces ever created.
