Most of the Star Trek films (the first six) are pretty good.

With the fifth being unintentionally hilarious.

next after that is Brazil
Runner up is A Scanner Darkly

Also great:

Dr. Strangelove
Liquid Sky
Planet of the Apes (of course the original)
Beneath the Planet of the Apes
Zardoz
Soylent Green
Stalker
Solaris (The Tarkovsky one, though still not as good as the book by far)
Screamers (maybe more not bad than great, but not bad anyway...)
Metropolis
Aelita Queen of Mars (a Soviet silent movie based on a Tolstoy story that actually predates Metropolis!)
Serenity
The Gladiators/Gladiatorerna (Swedish anti-war futurist movie from the '60s)
Aeon Flux
Forbidden Planet
The Day the Earth Stood Still
1984
Logan's Run
The Quiet Earth
2046 (a stretch here, but there is a SF story in it...)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
On the Beach
The Thing (from Another World) (that's the original!)
Gojira (the original Japanese Godzilla)
Robot Stories
King Kong (Jackson's version and the original)
Alphaville
Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead

Star Wars

I like but find overrated:

Blade Runner
Matrix
The Empire Strikes Back

I just find overrated:

Alien
All other Star Wars (even the Phantom Menace is overrated when people say it sucks!)

I mostly liked the first Matrix, up until the point where Neo was flying around like superman at the end. Basically, he discovers he can rewrite the code of the matrix and uses that ability to FLY? You'd think he'd get more use out of that power. But, then I guess they couldn't've had seqels if he did...

I liked Blade Runner. The Director's Cut. Not the one the studio released first, with the half-assed voiceovers, and the ending that made no sense (where did all this wilderness come from? why is everyone in this overcrowded apocalyptic hellhole if they can just escape into the countryside?). And the fact that the unicorn dream was left out makes the origami guy make no sense.
I also kind of find it funny that Blade Runner, an adaptation of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, left out all the elements DADoES inherited from the short story on which it was originally based (The Little Black Box)...

There is a certain element of cheese to Blade Runner. But there is a certain amount of cheese to Alphaville as well. I think it is unavoidable when making sci-fi film noirs.
