    I saw this weird little film called "The Objective" the other day. It was directed by the guy who did the first Blair Witch. It was low budget but very strange. Liked it.

      It's hard to pinpoint "one" single movie...

      2001: A Space Odyssey or The Matrix would probably take my top vote. But....

      Blade Runner
      Soylent Green
      Altered States
      Close Encounters of the Third Kind
      Phase IV
      Silent Running
      Planet of the Apes
      A Clockwork Orange
      Star Wars (though not strictly science fiction)
      Forbidden Planet
      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
      The Lathe Of Heaven (tv movie)
      Dark City
      The War Of The Worlds (both versions)
      Minority Report
      Gataca
      The Brood
      The Omega Man
      The Day of the Triffids
      Logan's Run
      The Road Warrior
      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

        Iron Giant - A cartoon, but still very much sci-fi. The part where he freaks out and becomes a killing machine with all those crazy weapons was simply awesome.

          True that was good sci-fi/allegory.\

          Wall-E was another excellent animated SF, and Fantastic Planet, Titan AE... seems to me there were others, but I just can't think of them.

                  Space Odyssey, and one of my favorites that is seriously underrated imho is Event Horizon, with Laurence Fishburne. I love that movie!

                    I went to see Event Horizon the night it came out and I didn't care for it much. I got home from the movie to find out my house had burned to the ground while I was at the movies. Now it ranks as my all time least favorite movie.

                      I heard it's better at home than at the actual theater, because the sound effects are so loud in the theater it's almost unbearable. At home, however, we have total control ;)

                            Not my favorite but I haven't seen it listed. Serenity was a cool little sci-fi movie.

                                                            2001: A Space Odyssey - I saw it in theaters the year it came out...awesome on the bigscreen but loses a little impact on TV.

                                                            The first two Alien/Aliens movies raised the benchmark for sci-fi/horror.

                                                            Blade Runner (f/x ahead of its time)

                                                            Carpenter's remake of The Thing was great.

                                                            Planet of the Apes (the first Heston one)

                                                                ... 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!

                                                                                            Your right there are so many but I would throw in

                                                                                            I wish that Hollywood would some day do a movie on the John Carter of Mars books

                                                                                            I would sooner put T2 than Predator, though I think I forgot both :P I never read the John Carter books.

                                                                                            OH and of course Predator 2 was excellent.

                                                                                            :D
