With all the average movies appearing lately, I decided to go back and watch old favorites, here they are.
The Postman
Waterworld
I-Robot
Johnny Mnemonic
Jumper
Ultraviolet
Nightwatch
Daywatch
Tekken
Pitch Black
Salute of the Jugger
Dune (2021)
Stargate
Ghost In The Shell
Bicentennial Man
Blade Runner
Chronicles of Riddick
Dark City
City of Lost Children
Le Dernier Combat
Enemy Mine (This is one of my favorites, great sci-fi, shame it isn't well known)
The Fifth Element
Ghost Of Mars
Hellboy
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ( a regular one I watch LMAO)
Finch
Space Sweepers
Guardians of the Galaxy (Good movie , the follow up was very average)
Attack The Block ( this cracked me up)
A.I Artificial Intelligence
The Worlds End (Another that is a crack up)
The Host
Snowpiercer
District 9
Under The Skin
Jupiter Ascending
Blade Runner 2049
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Alita Battle Angel
Mortal Legends (Amazing series of books, the movie was a visual feast)
Sucker Punch
Iron Sky
The Adventures Of Adele Blanc Sec
These are just some that I watch regularly, not all are hard core science fiction , but definitely entertaining. I've missed quite a few.
What are your favorites ?

That is quite an extensive and mixed list BluudNut :)
And I'm surprised Matrix hasn't been mentioned yet :_:-)

I'm leaving mine here with a beep (it's like a tweet but even shorter :)) for each on what makes them a great watch.
Feel free to adopt a similar approach to help people decide if they want to look it up.

Some of my favorites that come to mind:
The Matrix ----- for the philosophical aspects and cool fights
Blade Runner (both) ----- the setting, atmosphere and open ending
Alien (the whole saga including Prometheus) ----- the world, the cosmic horror
Arrival --- original plot
Donnie Darko ----- the drama, the scifi aspect is only near the end but still very thought provoking, worth youtubing about it
Dune ---- the world
A.I Artificial Intelligence ---- the story and drama
District 9 ----- everything about it, cool aliens, bad ass action, social critique
X-Men (the whole series of movies) ----- the world, the action and the social commentary
Inception ----- mind bender
Back To The Future (series) ---- 80s at its finest, funny and original
Robocop (the first one) ---- satirical social commentary
Children of Men ---- good drama and thriller
Ex Machina ---- great plot... and beautiful cinematography ;)
Predator ---- manly badassery (if it bleeds we can kill it)
Terminator (1 & 2) ---- more manly badassery


Other favorites but less well known or not mentioned here:
Source Code ----- mind bender
Annihilation ----- original and alien, cosmic horror
Demolition Man ---- social critique
Existenz ----- mind bender
Predestination ----- mind bender
Coherence ----- mind bender
Planet of the Apes (the old original series from the 60s, haven't seen the new ones yet) ----- classic, original, social commentary
Contact ----- great story and plot

Ok totally agree with the whole Alien Saga , totally obsessed with Alien Covenant and Prometheus and I will add all the apocalyptic movies that came afterwards, like : Contagion , the day after tomorrow .. you know that kind of movies , even some of the recent ones ..

but my favourite remainss Alien

the original one.

nothing compares to that one. which is absolutely terrifying the first time you watch it ....

Which describes the unknown territory, the new conquer : Space ! And No one can hear you scream out there right ? :_;)

And the billionaires are all aware of that ...

I'll also add The Abyss to my list, if there's any film that needs a Blu-Ray release then this is it.

If you are a Sci-Fi Fan & do not Love Alien or Predator Movies then you are not a Sci-Fi Fan. They need to work on a Predator/Alien TV Series. That would be Awesome.:_B)

Yes The Abyss is a movie that stands on it's own & is very original because there is nothing as good as it is. Everything was so well done on the Movie. Sometimes you don't need all the Special CGI effects & they proved it with this movie. The Abyss is a movie you can watch a few times a year. It's a Classic. Now I need to go watch it cause I haven't seen it in probably 10 years.

All these are good movies but you can't beat a classic like Forbidden Planet 1956

1959 ? The movie release date depends from country to country. :_O:-D
First US release dated March 23 1956, in my country, Italy, FP was a "Christmas Movie", December 21 1956.
Anyway Forbidden Planet was a Classic and a Masterpice and seminal movie too, Oscar nomination for Special Effects, the first movie with electronic sounds ONLY, the first entry in Leslie Nielsen's career and a big hit for Anne Francis, 25 at the time.
And Robby, the father of ALL robots in movies and toys too.

50s and Cold War era was good for the Sci-Fi flicks, some titles :

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) the definitive Sci-Fi flick !!!
When Worlds Collide (1951)
The Thing from Another World (1951) WOW !!!
The War of the Worlds (1953) SUPER !!
It Came from Outer Space (1953)
Them! (1954)
Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
Tarantula (1955)
It Conquered the World (1956)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) another seminal movie
Invasion of the Saucer Men (1957)
The Monolith Monsters (1957) one of my fav
The Giant Claw (1957)
Not of This Earth (1957)
The Blob (1958) Wow...super scary !

I could name 20 other titles, the 50s were Golden Age for Sci-Fi !
