The 1960s were a pivotal decade for science fiction, especially in film and television. While many iconic sci-fi movies were released and are still celebrated today, several other excellent films from that era have been overlooked.

Currently called Game of Thrones: Aegon’s Conquest, the film will be set 300 years before the original series, showing how Aegon Targaryen and his sisters, Visenya and Rhaenys, used their dragons to conquer Westeros and establish their dynasty. With the movie now confirmed, it’s likely that plans for a separate Aegon’s Conquest TV series have been cancelled.

Following the disappointing performance of the 1993 film Super Mario Bros., Nintendo stopped making movies for many years.
