Willow
Legend
The Quiet Earth (more Twilight Zoneish)
Time Bandits
Robocop (great film but avoid the sequels like the plague as they are almost impossibly sucky)
Star Trek (even numbered movies only, odd numbered Trek movies stink)
Another BIG vote for BladeRunner. Freaking classic and still unchallenged for sheer atmosphere and vision of a future dystopia (well, actually Brazil beats it for sheer dystopian vision).
So another for Brazil too although expect to watch it a few times to really follow it well. Bizarre movie barely covers it but excellent nonetheless.
I will actually say Starship Troopers too. I know it majorly sucked compared to the book and was nothing like that classic but for just dumb pew pew in space it works ok with some decent space battles and brutal ground battles.

Sunshine. It's amazing.
Dunno why but I really disliked that movie.
Maybe it was that I could not get past the idea that a bunch of unstable freaks like that would be the crew of a spaceship sent to save earth (c'mon...they'd be freaking NASA/ESA boyscouts). Then the movie turns into a slasher movie.

Oh! Forgot one of my favorites. More of a goofy movie but fun:
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension
John Lithgow and Peter Weller are main characters so this is not as obscure as it sounds.

I can't believe no-one has mentioned Dark Star.
*bows*
Totally forgot about that one.
A bit obscure and weird for most folks but brilliant in its cheesiness just the same. Getting into a philosophical discussion with a "smart" bomb to talk it out of detonating...brilliant.
