Moon is a fantastic movie.
2001 is really good, most Kubrick tends to be.
Um...
District 9 of course if you haven't seen it,
I'm a bit behind on sci-fi movies. However, books I could talk about all day
Edit: Also A Scanner Darkly. Sci-fi is such a vast concept so many things fit into it.

I just watched A New Hope for the first time recently, (I know, I know...) and it was pretty awesome.

Well District 9 is the best movie EVER in my opinion but that has already been mentioned so I'm going to go with faithful number two here - Sunshine. Its a 2007 film by Danny Boyle (guy who did 28 Days Later and Slumdog Millionaire). It touches on many of the same subjects as Moon did (isolation mostly, even though its a team of 8 people) but it has a more thrilleresque feel to it as the movie goes on. Its amazing.

There was also this strange wave of near-future sci-fi crime mysteries with social commentary (yeah, a very specific kind of wave): Gattaca, Minority Report, I, Robot, Equilibrium, Paycheck, Repo Men, Surrogates.
Most of them just take modern society and insert a new technology that drastically changes things. I'd say that Gattaca is easily the best one of the lot.
Don't forget Ghost in the Shell, not a movie, but still one of the most influential sci-fi masterpieces out there.
And if you have low standards, there's loads of cheap and cheesy sci-fi movies around. Sure, they might not explore the human condition, but they're good for a laugh. Johnny Mnemonic comes to mind.
Also, Sunshine and Moon were mentioned before, and I recommend them to everyone. You really can't go wrong with those (except for Sunshine's third act, that shit's messed up).

I personally hated 2001, but to each there own.QuirkyTambourine said:
OT: Alien series is brilliant.

Nevermind
OT: Check out the Star Trek universe. Of course, watching some of the original TV episodes before jumping into the movies would make the films make more sense. District 9 is great, Independence day is just okay. There are many more but I can't think of any at the moment.
Of course, I could I forget! On that note, the Predator movies were also good for scifi horror.SL33TBL1ND said:
