I think I must have seen a few hundred sci-fi films, both English-language and foreign. English-language films seem to be pretty well covered, so I'll recommend some foreign language films that I thought were pretty good:
- STALKER (Russian classic)
- Los Cronocrimenes (aka Timecrimes, Spanish)
- Delicatessen (post-apocalyptic French comedy)
- Hell (German film, post-apocalyptic global warming)
- Sleep Dealer (Mexican film)
- Solyaris (1972 Russian film Solaris is a re-make of)
- Alphaville (1965 French film)
The only movies listed in this thread I haven't seen, and aren't yet to be released are:
The Ice Pirates
The Tripods (technically, a TV series based on a book, not a movie)
Future World
The Time Machine (1960)
Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Green Lantern (superhero film)
End of Evangelion (Japanese anime)
Ghost in the Shell (Japanese anime)
First Men in the Moon
Akira (Japanese anime)
Invaders from Mars
When Worlds Collide
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
Darkside of the Moon
Safety Not Guaranteed
Most of them either obscure, anime, or 5+ decades old.

True SF, and the only film I consider scarier than "Alien".
It was mentioned at least 3 times. Maybe 5 or 6.

Julia Dietze? Her jugs are actually pretty small.
Here's a bikini pic of her: http://www.clattoverata.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/julia-dietze-bikini2.jpg
She is definitely uber-hot though.

Must be a lot of Germans piping in for Cargo to have been mentioned so many times.
I watched it a year or so myself - really enjoyed it. I studied German for two years and like to watch German films regardless, but I find the dearth of German language sci-fi disappointing.

You do know that the term 'German' can be used to describe things that are... German, that are outside the confines of the BRD, right?
What language do Deutschschweizer and Osterreicher speak? Swiss, Austrian?

I awaited Prometheus with pretty high expectations. Even joined a dedicated Prometheus discussion forum a few months before it was released. People there would theorize, speculate on bits of footage from the trailers, post fake scripts, etc.
I can't recall ever being hyped for a movie as Prometheus, as two of my favorites of all-time were Ridley Scott's Alien and Blade Runner. That being said, when I finally saw it, I thought it was mediocre. It was an OK film, but not great. I hope the planned sequel addresses many of the things that I thought Prometheus failed to.
