Hear, hear. Also, I struggled to make it through Solaris, though it started off well. But I haven't given up on Tarnovsky--Stalker is in my film queue.

It's a total toss up between Blade Runner and Aliens. I'll opt for Aliens though cause it has the least votes of the two.

I almost forgot, I do think the recently overlooked gem, Sunshine staring Cilian Murphy and Mark Strong deserves some cred. Also, I'm pretty sure John Carpenter's version of The Thing should be on here. It has a fantastic atmosphere of isolation and paranoia. It's on the low budget side, but it's one of the few movies that have actually scared me after the age of 20.

"2001- A Space Odyssey" is equal best - still looks great today and like all great sci-fi movies, leaves much to ponder and debate. Though "District 9" is not on the list, I add this thoughtful film directed by Peter Jackson (The Lord of The Rings Trilogy) to my top 5 all time great Sci-fi movies.


Peter Jackson did not direct District 9. Neill Blomkamp did. 
My apologies - Neill Blomkamp did indeed direct District 9 Ouch Thanks for the correction.

R.A.N.M.A mentioned "sunshine" ,excellent movie
 
Its interesting that so close to the sun most of the deaths were from cold and for me the most memorable scene was the transfer from one ship to the other where two of the crew had to wrap themselves in  insulation against the cold of space,one didnt make it and died a lonely and sad death, flash frozen and floating through the void,to be partly shattered by hitting some debris and finally disintegrating from the intense heat of the sun after leaving the shadow of the ship.
 
That seen left me with a very odd creepy feeling as to the utter loneliness and hopelessness of his death.............

some of the best Sci-Fi I have seen are

Star Treck - the newest movie
Minority Report - the best Cruise movie
I Robot - yes I liked it, I don't think it as bad (nor very good), but it have a cool effets and Will Smith is cool
K-Pax - Kevin Spacey rules
Space Jam - Cool
Matrix
the War of the Worlds - have one of the most impressive sound effects and If you have a suroundsound and a sub woofer your nabour will feel it on the richter scale

Forbidden Planet was on TV this weekend and I watched-for awhile-while it was surely ground-breaking when it first came out, it was a bit dated on this watching. 

I worry that a remake will screw it all up-the original is a good story and well done for the time-why remake it? I have visions of the awful Day the Earth Stood Still remake.

Leave well enough alone!

Yes, the remake of "The Day The Earth Stood Stil" was pretty bad,Keanu Reeves had none of the quiet  dignity(or acting ability) of Michael Rennie.
