Best sci-fi movies...

[R Giskard Reventlov]

A good one - I'll add that.

Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer. The End

[R Giskard Reventlov]

Don't recall seeing that. I'll have to get hold if it.

Keep your friends close. Keep Kill your enemies closer. The End

A lot of movies have to be taken in their proper context to make sense. Over time, I've grown to appreciate movies that are older than I am (so it's not nostalgia), and remakes often stop making sense and instead exist only to showcase special effects.

Only because it deserves a place in the list somewhere, The Arrival of Wang.

[R Giskard Reventlov]

I'll try it. Thanks

Pseudo futuristic, but not real sciency.

[Lost User]

some of the OP items are not sciency either, i.e. Dawn of the Dead?

[Mario Luis]

Definitely should be on the list. I know a lot of folks didn't enjoy it but what about Event Horizon?

[Lost User]

I’d have to say Contact (Jodie Foster) & Gravity especially for its special effects

[RickZeeland]

Solaris, not the remake but the original by Tarkovsky, Solaris (1972) - IMDb[^] And no, it's not about an operating system :-\

Independence Day (I) And my favourite recent sci-fi: The Edge of Tomorrow

Gattaca Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, Jude Law at their beginning one of my favourite...

Existenz - ok it's Cronenberg so it's bound to be a bit yucky in parts, however I thought the ideas and story line were done well and it's layers within layers are interesting. TimeCrimes - perhaps the best time travelling movie I have seen where everything actually hangs together and makes sense. The Man From Earth - like Gattaca its more like a play than a movie. The movie is a long conversation between a group of friends, one of whom has an interesting secret they reveal within the movie. The interesting part is seeing how people respond to what he reveals. Avalon - a Polish Japanese collaborative film about a distopian future and a VR game. Stalker - ok it's long and boring, actually no it's not! It's a brilliant film!

Soylent Green (wonder what that is?)

[Lost User]

By today's standards yes it's pretty poor, especially that scene where Klatu picks up the girl and she screams and faints. But ... when I first saw it in 1950 something I did think it was brilliant.

The 27th Day (1957) - IMDb[^].

[PeejayAdams]

Dark Star deserves a mention.
