The original film of the Alien series.  A haunted house in space (or a nasty alien on your ship).  This is the film that started it all.
Alien (1979)

You don't even need to see the original to enjoy James Cameron's classic movie about cyborgs and artificial intelligence.  Non-stop action from beginning to end!
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
 
Bret Nelson profile picture
A more cerebral film about the fluidity of time and how we cannot escape destiny.  A cult classic that continues to gain followers.
Donnie Darko (2001)

This film is a more science based sci-fi about the possibility of advanced alien life reaching out to us.

This film from 1968 set the standard for the science fiction – great special effects, a mind-bending story and questions that leave you thinking!
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

You cannot have a list of sci-fi without the space opera to end all space operas.  Star Wars (I hate calling it A New Hope) was the film that made us feel like we could be heroes, princesses, rogues or villains.  What a ride!
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)

Underappreciated at the box office.  This film has now spawned a sequel and spinoffs.  It asks the ultimate question – what does it really mean to be human?
Blade Runner (1982)

A powerful social commentary on the 1960s set in the context of a movie about an astronaut stranded on a planet ruled by apes. Oh!  And the ending…perfection!
Planet of the Apes (1968)

A movie about dinosaurs that felt real.  The original Jurassic Park had a great cast and the humans were not bad in it either!
Jurassic Park (1993)

Christopher Nolan knows how to make good science fiction.  This film about a last gasp effort to save humanity from a failing Earth is grounded in real science and modern issues.
Interstellar (2014)

Blow your mind trying to decide what is the “real world” with the film that gave us bullet-time and Neo, Trinity and Morpheus.
The Matrix (1999)
