BEST: 2001 A Space Odyssey. Do I really need to qualify this decision?
WORST: Spaceballs. Not just because it's a weak and groan-inducingly painful riff on Star Wars, but because it's a depressing example of Mel Brooks post-greatness which can't hold a candle to his superior spoofs like Young Frankenstein (candle? gettit? someone?) and Blazing Saddles.
How 'bout you?
2001 is unarguably the finest SciFi movie ever made. 46 years later, it remains the gold standard of how you craft a film. It defines the term 'quality' IMHO

After that it gets fuzzy because there are a lot of good ones. You could throw in things like Star Wars, and of course Metropolis has to be up there.
Oh yeah if you like cheesy B-movie sci fi that is actually good, check out Spacehunter.
Gosh there are a lot of bad ones though. Lost In Space, all these dumb superhero movies they keep coming out with, of course like Thor and stuff like that can be entertaining, but most of the time they suck. Those crappy Blade movies. Van Helsing. I still can't believe they remade Planet of the Apes.
I still stand by my pick for worst sci fi movie as Attack of the Clones. Such a huge budget, there is just no excuse for that crap.
I'm not a Star Wars fan, even if I still watch most of them. Close Encounters of the Third Kind still has a real place in the list. Absolute giants of special effects like Douglas Trumbull gave it a real special quality. And, you can time travel back to 1977 anytime you want to when Teri Garr was stil hot.

Best is a tie between Blade Runner and Spaceballs.
I watched Dune again last week. Hadn't seen it years. It was certainly an 80's movie. They tried. I think they really did, but it was really cheesy there in many places. However, it wasn't as bad as "The Black Hole". Now that was awful.
