Please recommend me some Science Fiction

[Hawk of Battle]

Pretty much anything anyone has already said (well except for that one dude who said Jason x (srsly, WTF??)) plus also Pitch Black and Back to the Future series, don't think either of those have been said.

Oh and avoid The Chronicles of Riddick for gods sake!

So I guess you didn't read what I wrote about Jason X to explain why it's there? At least I explained why I suggested something questionable, unlike people who recommend novels based on video games, movies or other people D&D adventures.

Yes I did read what you put, I just thought it was still utterly terrible all round. And seeing as the OP was asking for sci-fi, the one thing I wouldn't reccomend is Jason X. It fails as a sci-fi movie no matter which way you look at it.

Stargate is a great TV show.

I would also recommend the Warhammer 40k books. They're not Asimov, but are fun, violent action stories.

I always suggest and reccomend watching original versions of Sci-fi first, so you can expirience the story as intended originally, before advancing into your speccy graphics and awesome effects.

Moon
2001 Space Odyssey

I reccommend watching 2001 Space odyssey first, Moon kinda pays homage to some parts of 2001, and features similar scenes.

Thats all i can think of, off the top of my head of movies/TV that i enjoyed watching.
I grew up watching alot of Sci-fi, even the old black and white stuff. i cant get enough sci-fi, even if its horribly B movie, i regulary find myself sitting in front of the TV at 3am watching those old classics that they show late at night to fill spots
