The 1984 version of Metropolis is the silent version... had some missing stuff put back in an a soundtrack by Queen, Pat Benetar, Bonnie Tylor et.al.

All mentioned so far were good... will add Fantastic Voyage (followed Asimov's novel quite closely), The Thing (Carpenter's version follows John Cambell's original story "Who Goes There" much more closely than the 1950's version but but the story is still spookier), THX-1138, Andromeda Strain (same plot as the rest of Chriton's stuff, but this was the first),
Atomic Cafe' (not really Sci-fi but funny and spooky... a must for anyone who remembers the 50's), First Men in the Moon, She, Silent Running, The Man who Fell to Earth, Barbarella, A Boy and his Dog, The Power, the first Alien movie, Dune, Fantastic Planet (annimated), Laserblast and Repo Man were a hoot, Life Force, Logan's Run, Flatliners, Saturn 3, Scanners, Soylent Green, Village/Children of the Damned, WestWorld, Zardoz, Heavy Metal, and campy stuff like Attack of the Killer Tomatos, Outer Limits tv, Dr Who tv etc. and I'm sure I'm forgetting scads of others and maybe getting the wrong dates on a few.

The Prisoner was Patrick McGoohan who also played the spy John Drake in the series Secret Agent (when he retired they stuck him on the island and started a new series that was filmed in Whales). He also played the bad guy in the movie Silver Streak (with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder).
