2001, Gattaca and if the 5th Element is on here I think Dune should atleast be mentioned!

 

[Yggdrasil]

2001
Dark City
Aliens
Contact

and of course BLADE RUNNER

 

[detroit*whut]

The Fifth Element for sure!

 

[John Candy]

[John Candy]

[drEaMtiMe*@#]

bladerunner
the matrix
gattaca

and i really want to see solaris.

oh and dark city cos i was late to class the day that they were screening it and hence missed half of the movie.

While not my FAVORITES,I did like The Hidden and Enemy Mine alot and feel they are very underrated.

 

[Web]

Enemy Mine is a great flick... but you should try reading the book.

Obscure All Time Favorite:
Brainstorm

 

[LapDawg]

Lots of excellent choices, but I'll be that guy...my favorite still has to be the Star Wars trilogy.

some personal favorites I don't remember seeing listed...
A Clockwork Orange
Sleeper
T2: Judgment Day
The Abyss
Back to the Future
Brazil
Predator
Starship Troopers :D
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

 

[plazma]

Was I the only person who thought Solaris was overrated?

For me:

Serenity
Alien/Aliens
The Matrix (not the last two, and it would have been better if they'd just made a movie of Neuromancer)
Equilibrium
*edit* Holy crap how could I forget Starship Troopers (NOT the second one)

-plaz out-

 

[L2R]

I can watch repeatedly and never get sick of:
12 Monkeys
Contact
2001 (although it is a task)
A Clockwork Orange

 

[Sn2.ru]

Imma go with Tarkovsky's Solyaris and Alphaville. How unoriginal of me.

 

[mariacallas]

5th Element
Alien (the one that came out in 1979!)
Mars Attacks
Starship Troopers
Xtro

 

[Belisarius]

Aliens, hands-down. Still leaves me exhausted at the end, every time.

 

[AmorRoark]

Nobody has mentioned Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

- New addition, Primer.

 

[Finder]

Primer was pretty fucking good. I haven't enjoyed a sci-fi movie as good in quite some time.

 

[ice-9]

Gattaca
Stargate
Star Wars series (of course)

These are the only ones i can think of that no one has mentioned yet, and i'm surprised no one's mentioned them.

 

[Finder]

I think Gattaca and Star Wars have been mentioned multiple times...not sure about Stargate. All are great, though.

 

[lostpunk5545]

Holy crap how could I forget Starship Troopers (NOT the second one)

-plaz out-

God yes. I love how they took Heinlein's book which was a right wing piece of shit, bordering on damn near fascism, and made a very critical satiric left-wingish movie.

Haha he would be rolling in his grave

I thought the movie adaption of Sphere was really good as well. Captured most of the aspects of the book well. Pity Crichton is an ignorant nutjob.
