"Does the matrix count?
Yeah sure. Some sci-if movies cross several genres, the Matrix has plenty of action but the primise/storyline is definitely sci-fi "
My favourite I like them all  |

The original Star Trek is exceptionally good despite the very tacky studio sets because it tackled so many contemporary Earthy issues using other planets: for example, interracial kiss.
But the science fiction film par excellence, the creme de la creme, that nothing else comes anywhere close to is:
2001- A Space Odyssey, directed and produced by the incomparable cinematic genius, Stanley Kubrick; based on Arthur C Clarke's book, The Sentinel.
A masterpiece from 1968; 54 years ago. |

Depends if we are counting space sci fi or all sci fi elements
Pre destination is superb as is back to the future 1 and 2 for time travel sci fi
Predator and aliens for all our action sci fi
Alien for horror sci fi
Bladerunner for noir sci fi
Love them all … gravity is unique as is moon
Then we have life … that homages most of sci-fi elements into a very enjoyable surprise
Could talk forever on this |

"pitch black.. and riddick follow on movies"
I like these a lot too. I even geek out on the hard to find animations, like "chronicles of riddick dark fury" that connect the plots of the live action films.
There's a spin off TV show that's been in the pipeline for years now called "merc city" that i'm waiting for.  |

Star Wars 4 because of the age I was when it came out. To this day no scifi film has excited me as much. I even remember swapping character stickers etc in the playground.
2001 is flawless, 2010 is stylistically very different but it had to be made, I just hope they do make the rest. Keep hearing rumours so we'll see.
The Alien franchise has been brilliant, though I think the prequels have been better than the sequels.
The new Star Trek films have been fantastic, and the casting magnificent. Whoever put Pine up for Captain Kirk wants an Oscar for doing that. It's inspired.
If you like a comedy one that's not very well known, Space Station 76 is worth watching. Sci Fi buffs will love it, especially if you like late seventies/early eighties low budget stuff.
A real laugh is Lifeforce, from 1985. British made using what would appear to be the sets from Garth Merenghis Darkplace! Some very famous faces slumming it in that.  |
