To add some not already here:

Journey to the Center of the Earth (James Mason version)
When Worlds Collide (1951)

Blade Runner rocks! My fave movie since i was 13 in the mid-90's. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Akira and Ghost in The Shell, 2 awesome animated Sci-fi movies.

miyazaki's spirited away :cool:

Here's what I'll say about GITS. I think the 1995 movie was their best but I prefer the newer series and the new Major Motoko Kusanagi, don't like the old Kusanagi. Also I prefer the change they made to a few characters: Batou has slight changes to him, Togusa has a better voice actor, Ishikawa has gotten a much better voice actor: the guy looked 40 and sounded like 20. Aramaki is drawn slightly different, which I prefer.

Their first TV series (Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex) invented the Stand Alone Complex, a new form of mass of individuals revolting resultant of one single event that spurred it all. It has already happened once on the internet.

Their second series (Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society) follows on from the aforementioned series. There is also a movie that comes after GITS: SAS, I suggest you see them.

Inception, deifnitely

Avatar, Fifth Element, 2001 and 2010, Star Wars and some of the Kirk Star Trek Movies :) Not to forget the Alien Ones

Aside from Avatar, since it's kind of obvious.....

John Carpenter's The Thing
Aliens (series)
Predator (series)
Star Wars
The Abyss
King Kong (the newest one....sort of "jurassic park" sci fi)
Jurassic Park
The Mist

Here is my list of favorites:

Avatar
The Original Star Wars Trilogy
Inception
District 9
The Abyss
Terminator 2 &3 (I haven't seen the 1st one)
The Matrix
Dr. Strangelove (I'm not sure if its quite entirely sci-fi but it has some similar themes)
Independence Day
2001: Space Odyssey (beautifully done movie...just dragged in some places)
