10 Best Sci-Fi Comedy Movies You Need To Watch

10. The World's End

The final part of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright’s Cornetto trilogy doesn’t boast the laugh count of Shaun Of The Dead or Hot Fuzz, but as a mix of high concept sci fi and bittersweet buddy comedy, it’s a particularly impressive achievement, complete with great performances and social commentary.

Perhaps the only sci fi film centred around a pub crawl, The World’s End sees five once-close friends tricked into a reunion by eternal teenager Gary (Simon Pegg, acting his very hardest). There they uncover a mystery - the homogenisation of the British town centre is not evidence of capitalism run wild, but rather the work of an extraterrestrial entity looking to deprive Earth of its distinctive character.

With its Easter eggs and callbacks for longtime fans, Wright and Pegg ensure significant rewatch value for the capper to their beloved trilogy. You can’t go too far wrong when you combine Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, and a familiar cast of some of the UK’s finest talent, and this armageddon and pathos-laden film is a fitting finale.
