10 Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) Dir: Steven Spielberg
Well, I generally (sortof) agree, but where's Gattaca?
Alien is strictly a horror "haunted house" movie, but I still love it. Star Wars I'd drop, but definately keep ESB. Never seen the original Solaris but love the Soderburg remake. 2001 for all it's pretentiousness, does make you think. Same with Bladerunner.
My personal list:-
1 Gattaca
2 Solaris (Excellent movie. If you didn't like it and consider it boring, you have no soul. It's a beautiful love story)
3 Testuo: The Iron Man (Japanese Madness, check the sequel out, but its a far weaker movie)
4 Delecatessin
5 The Thing
6 Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless mind
7 Blade Runner
8 Vanilla Sky (it was all a dream! Usually hate this, but was expecting a chick flick. I got a quite thoughfull and clever SF movie)
9 Dune (Parp! I love it. Sue me)
10 The City Of Lost Children.
Runners up, Cube, Brazil, PI, Dark City, Planet of the apes, the day the earth stood still, A clockwork orange, Invasiobn of the body snatchers (original), Alien / Aliens / Alien3. Not sucky Alien4 (Jeunets direction, Perlman and Pinon regardless)

Classics.
In fact, surely The Thing should be in that list somewhere.

That's why I love it. It's awful, but it's really watchable and I love bad movies anyway, especially bad movies directed by John Carpenter.

How about Titanic vs The Abyss?
that could work.
Titanic sets sail, crappy love story starts, Titanic sinks, Aliens save Titanic, Several Full Frontals of Kate Winslet, Roll Credits.

James Cameron needs to start making proper films again. Imagine a T2 or Aliens with today's SFX. Someone tell him to stop farting around with the Titanic and to make Alien 5. Versus Terminator. Versus the Abyss.
here are some of my fav sci-fi films in no particular order as they are all great.
Terminator 1+2 (3 was a crappy kids take off)
Predator 1+2
Alien
Battle Star Gallactica
Starwars: Return of the Jedi
Men In Black
I,Robot
Independance Day
Stargate the movie
The Minority Report
Mission to Mars
Fifth Element
I personally thing Balade Runner was a bit too boring for my liking, everytime I watch it I just get sleepy.

Total Recall
Predator
Flight of the Navigator
E.T
Blade Runner
Ghosts of Mars
That's in no particular order

I love Jurassic Park. I even like the second one. But the third was pure dump. Was going to put it on my list, but it's more in the dino-horror genre.

Since it contains a film set the size of a small country and is set in the not too distant future.
