A short list:
Dark City - profoundly disturbing and thought-provoking. A hidden gem.
Sereneity - fan service, but a thoroughly enjoyable confection.
A Clockwork Orange - Mind-blowing when it first came out. I'd been a big fan of Brian Aldiss, but to see his vision brought to screen with Walter/Wendy Carlos' stunning and brilliant soundtrack. Perhaps the most unforgettable opening scene of any film I've seen.
Watchmen - Very well done. With dialog that blows PC away.
Alien - Ridley Scott outdid himself until we get to...
Blade Runner - the very best of P. K. ****'s works brought to cinema. Director's cut recommended. Rutger Hauer's improvised line towards the end was one of the most moving I've heard.
I'm sure that I could come up with more, but that's the short list.
Books that should be made into movies:
Ringworld
Any of Iain Banks' works based on the Culture series, but especially Against a Dark Background (RIP, Iain).

In my opinion, the top of the tops is definitely "2001: A Space Odyssey".
Excellent science fiction, and re-defined cinema itself in a way that cannot be copied without accusations of imitation. |

Red Letter Media Reviews of Star Wars and Star Trek movies, are full feature length (~90 min) they are funny and poignantly observant. They are also therapeutic should suffering though the modern Hollywood blockbuster have left you in a stupor, feeling completely empty aside from regret.

As far as less popular atmospheric Sci-Fi - I remember liking Solaris (2002), Melancholia (2011) for Kirsten Dunst, Another Earth (2011) but I'd agree with many of the popular choices in this topic for "best". |

I believe this thread proves that, although SF is still the rarest and most expensive genre to produce, when it does happen, it's really unusual for it to be bad.
I believe our next classic is the George Clooney/Sandra Bullock, Alfonso Cuaron Directed "Gravity"......... |

I would prefer to see any of the Iain M. Banks Culture novels as a film as long as they don't **** it up, I'm reading The Hydrogen Sonata now and its rather sad to know it will be the last Culture novel I ever read. |

just to be pedantic, as what else is an internet forum tied to an internet spaceship game for, the Sci-fi label is very wide ranging and one could argue than many so called sci-fi movies are really action adventure movies, or fantasy movies given the sci-fi title as they are set in a futuristic setting.
i would be more specific and go with movies that more acurately fit the sci-fi label:
2001
Blade Runner

AI - Artificial Intelligence
Bicentennial Man
The best movie here which has zero special effects but has a gripping story is 'The Man from Earth'. Do yourself a favor, watch this one.

Not seen "man from Earth yet", but The Book "PI" written by Carl Sagan I have read, and is much better than the movie, although I cannot deny that I enjoyed the movie as well

But man would it be awesome to get rid of all the useless noise, I mean people and enjoy a proper world.
