One of my favourites is Soylent Green, based on the sci-fi author Harry Harrison's book Make Room! Make Room! It's a far-from-appealing look at the Earth in 2022. Charlton Heston and Edward G Robinson are great in the film. It was Robinson's last film before he died.

Heston was also very good in that other sci-fi classic The Omega Man, based on the book I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. I prefer the ending in the film to the book's ending.

Clockwork Orange is incredible. It's a better overall movie and my preference for sci fi.
I'll see you on the Darkside of the moon...

Precisely.  I think I prefer Westworld to Jurassic Park.  The initial impact of seeing the dino's is great, but it soon wears off.  but I like the strange atmosphere to westworld.  it is very 70s looking, but you do actually feel like your there with them - especially when you watch it late at night when your senses are dulled somewhat.

Anyone seen Westworld with Yul Brynner?  Not sure how much you would class it as sci-fi, but I've always liked the film.  Essentially Michael Crichton just re-wrote the story and called it Jurassic Park.

I've gone for Clockwork Orange,

only because you omitted to include 'Pigs In Space' from the Muppet Show...
