Gonna throw my entry in.
forbidden Planet
Yes it's a reworking of Shakespeare.
However
Groundbreaking at the time, good effects, some questionable acting (as all good Sci fi movies should have)
Plus some tension and plus a young floozie who jumps into bed with lieutenant frank drebbin.
Aka a very young Leslie neilson.
Great film and scared the pants off me as a kid.

Whichever way you cut it there's only one and that's 2001:A Space Odyssey 
It still holds itself against all of today's efforts |

The Day The Earth Stood Still ( original 1951 version, though the remake wasn't bad)
2001.
Silent Running.
Alien . Only the first one; the rest were crappy " shoot 'em up" sequels; Prometheus was promising, but missed the mark, really.
Dune: followed Frank Herbert's ideas quite well.
Pitt they never made any films of any of Asimov's stuff, especially Foundation; they tried with "I, Robot" but it was a complete misinterpretation of Asimov's writing and ideas ...

Which version of Blade Runner though?
I love Alien, The Thing (82 version),.
I did like Ex Machina and The Machine that came out recently.
But they're edging more to science fact and not fiction. |

Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
I really liked 4! I know it's a bit off kilter with the rest of them but..dunno. Maybe because of that also.
Used to rate 3, but it really hasn't aged well.
Prometheus was really interesting also, apart from the mothership thing rolling on top of Charlize Theron, which was a bit silly. |

I've got the quadrilogy so watched all versions.
3 was better than 4 but only just.
Prometheus was a bit poor.
But I agree, that was daft. |

I know alot of people were disappointed in it, buy I really liked Prometheus. It had a great atmosphere.
And another highly underrated sci-fi that I really enjoyed, John Carter. I remember there being a big fuss about what a flop it was and how crap it was, but, when I finally saw it I thought it was good fun. |

"always loved dark city"
YES - brilliant film. But not even out on bluray at the moment (I luckily picked up a copy of the Director's Cut while it was available). |

Op your question is very leading and will take me ages to work out lol with the amount of cross overs into other genres are you including those or just straight Sci fi |

Now that... that is a big question 
I'm tempted to say BladeRunner, maybe even the sequel for keeping the same feel but with modern film making. But then there are also little gems like Spectral which many seem to have missed. Or the classics like Alien.

The very best satirical SciFi film is 1951 film: The Man in the White Suit.
Very frequently still shown on BBC and Freeview.
Very well worth watching on many levels; a maverick scientist invents a white cloth that is intially indestructible, but it firstly attracts greedy investers, who later want to stop it, as also do the workers in the fibre mills |

Blade Runner, it has everything. Style by the bucket load, great cast, great score and a deceptively simple plot. |

It's not my favourite but I do love it visually - the dialogue is a disaster but it looks amazing and there are some wonderfully grotesque performances. |
