RE: How about one out in left field?

There are so few really good science fiction films IMO!

2001 would be at the top of the list, but sharing that spot with Tarkovsky's "Solaris".

The Day the Earth Stood Still is near the top for me. I like THX1138 a lot, but I'm not sure where I'd place it. It's brilliant, but drags at times and is a little uneven IMO. My favorite line goes something like this:

"What's wrong?"

"I think I'm dying."

"Can you be more specific?"

There are a number of good films that aren't strictly Sci-Fi, but have strong elements of it, like Brazil, Slaughterhouse Five, A Clockwork Orange, and The Sacrifice (another Tarkovsky).

Here's one I really liked you probably haven't seen: The Girl From Monday.
