President Obama's essential science fiction list is the pumpkin spice latte of the galaxy

While plenty of movies and TV shows have made it onto various Internet "Best of" lists, not many can claim to have made a list curated by a president. Now films like "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Star Wars: Episode IV -- A New Hope" can add that honor to their list of commendations. Somehow between his day job as POTUS and campaigning for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama found time to guest-edit the November issue of Wired. Among his editing duties was listing off his essential genre films and television shows, and no real surprise here, a lot of sci-fi greatest hits made the list. But that's OK, Obama's still got plenty of nerd cred to go around.
