Hmm.... hard to say but I feel pretty comfortable with this list.

1. Blade Runner 2049
2. Back to the Future
3. The Matrix
4. The Terminator
5. Terminator 2
6. Alien
7. Aliens
8. Planet of the Apes
9. Star Trek 2: the Wrath of Khan
10. E.T.

I don't really think of Star Wars as sci fi which is why I've left it off the list.

Star Trek 1, 2, Generations, & 2009. (I haven't seen the newer sequels.)
Matrix 1 & Animatrix.
Terminator 1 & 2.
ET.
Planet of the Apes (original).
Back to the Future 1, 2, & 3.
Jurassic Park & Jurassic World.
Gravity.
Interstellar.
The Martian.
Galaxy Quest.
The Fifth Element.
Le Voyage dans la Lune.
Pacific Rim.
Independence Day.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

This is tough. Lots of cheating by including trilogies:

1) Star Wars prequels
2) Independence Day
3) Matrix trilogy (plus Animatrix)
4) Terminator 2
5) Men in Black 1 & 2
6) Back to the Future trilogy
7) Stargate
8) Spider-Man trilogy
9) Truman Show
10) Alien VS Predator

Jurassic Park is sort of sci/fi but I didn't count it, otherwise it bumps off AvP.

Lol that's true. Why don't you consider Star Wars sci-fi, by the way?

^Lot of people put SW closer to fantasy than to sci-fi.

You guys have good lists----------rather than repeat what everyone else has already said, I'll just add a few.

'Dark City'
'Brazil'
'Twelve Monkeys'
'Starship Troopers'
'Demolition Man'
'Total Recall'
'Gattaca'

[EDIT: Also 'Akira' and 'Metropolis'. Heck, both 'Metropolis'es----------the silent film and the anime flick.]
boo--------------a real american weirdo
