In no particular order (except the first one);
Blade Runner
Dark City (very under-rated film!)
Stalker
Videodrome
Starship Troopers
Escape From New York
Altered States
The Day The Earth Caught Fire
Quatermass & the Pit
Strange Days

If we are allowed escape from new York then can I add big trouble in little China. |

I love Big Trouble! I left it out because it's a fantasy while Escape From New York is a future dystopia. |

Zardoz, excellent! Sean Connery in a red nappy rolling down hillsides and the penis being mightier than the sword or something.
My pick, Solaris (Tarkovsky 1972, not the dumb remake) |

With exception to the original Star Wars trilogy, I would say the original battle star galactica, starfleet, Terra hawks, Flash Gordon, buck rogers, original v series. |

Zardoz is...well...Zardoz 
I prefer Stalker to Solaris but I need to re-watch it. |

Maximillian is the villainous robot but the good robot is the little red one I think is being referred to here. But all the robots in the film are great - I just finished re-watching it for the first time in years. |

- Interstellar

I enjoy a wide range of Sci-Fi but my faves are definitely the dystopian 'nightmares' of the 70's and into the 80's such as:
Mad Max's
Rollerball
Soylent Green
A Boy and his Dog
Silent Running
Westworld
Logan's Run
THX 1138

"Hardware
The Machine
Ex Machina
Alien
Terminator
Is Hardware the Richard Stanley film?
I haven't seen The Machine."
Yes. Richard Stanley and he really nails the ‘fucked up future’ feeling in the film.
I love sci-fi and many of those listed above by others are favourites..
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Dark Star yet. An absolute classic.

"George pal's time machine.
Forbidden planet.
District 9.
Dark star.
"
Christ how could I forget forbidden planet.
Literally one of favourite films of all time, scared the shit out of me when I was a small boy.
Dark Star is another good shout.
Can I add Sunshine love the cinematography. |

It's no where near my favourite franchise but I'm surprised that Star Trek hasn't been mentioned.
As for my favourite, Bladerunner, by a country mile.
2 guilty pleasures of mine are independence day and Battleship.

"Im wanting for recos...love most scifi!
Do you have any particular favourites?"
No I don't do favourites, I think theres so much more to see and experience and thats not including the things I don't know about, to possibly call something a favourite. Plus I'm terrible with names, more likely to see someone mention something and be like oo I liked that!
