Cinefantastique was known for its well-researched retrospectives of classic SF films, such as an article on The War of the Worlds (Paramount, 1953) in the spring 1977 issue.

The wider acknowledgment by critics of SF cinema’s aesthetic and philosophical potential, and SF’s rapid ascent as a mainstream genre in the 1970s, can be traced to the epochal release of 2001: A Space Odyssey, a sui generis masterpiece that pulled SF out of the cultural morass of parody and Z-level exploitation and influenced a generation of fans, filmmakers, and critics. Cinefantastique ceased publication in 2006, after thirty-six years and 194 issues. Six years earlier, Frederick Clarke had committed suicide after struggling with depression. “What keeps me going?” Clarke asked in 1979. “I can still feel the buzz from seeing 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968, and that could last me the rest of my life.”168
