Blade Runner
Soylent Green X
Altered States X
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Phase IV X
Silent Running
Planet of the Apes
A Clockwork Orange
Star Wars (though not strictly science fiction)
Forbidden Planet X
Metropolis
They Live
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The Time Machine
The Fly
Robocop
Starship Troopers
Terminator
Alien
Aliens
The Invasion
Pitch Black
John Carpenter's The Thing
Enemy Mine X
The Lathe Of Heaven (tv movie) X
Dark City
The War Of The Worlds (both versions)
Minority Report
Gataca
The Brood X
The Omega Man
The Day of the Triffids
Logan's Run X
The Road Warrior X
The New Star Trek, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (plus Wrath Of Khan and The Voyage Home)
... are all seminal in one way or another. And I'm probably forgetting a bunch, that don't even "seem" like sci-fi like Back to the Future but which actually follow principles very nicely...
You could even say movies like 28 Days

I had to cross those I haven't seen to check it out
Philip K. Dick, Ray Bradbury, William GIbson come to my mind
I would add 361 Fahrenheit, Event Horizon wasn't too bad neither
Total Recall is an excellent movie too, saw that again just recently
All time favorite I would have to go with Blade Runner
Smartest recent sci fi movie was "Idiocracy" - incredibly funny but incredibly true
I forgot John Carpenter's Escape from NY - classic!
