..but I'll settle for "okay" Sci-Fi at this point. I've got to the point where it feels like I've seen all the good Science Fiction, but surely there's something else out there. Maybe something foreign or obscure that I've missed, or maybe something obvious that I'm just forgetting. Let me try to make a list of all the Sci-Fi movies that I've seen, and then you guys just start throwing out as many suggestions as you can think of. Preferrably outer space Sci-Fi and preferrably from the past 30-40 years or so, but it doesn't nessecarily have to be.

I know I'm missing some stuff from this list, so just throw out as many movies as you can think of. The fate of my weekend may rest in your hands.

Check out the Battlestar Galactica miniseries if you haven't seen it already. It's excellent.

City of Lost children is a really good (and kooky) sci fi film by Jean Jeunet. It was made in collaboration with Mac Carro and thus is darker than any of Jeunet's recent stuff like Amelie and A Very Long Engagement. It's very imaginative though.

You seem to miss some great Carpenter sci fi's such as They Live!, The Thing, Escape from New York, and Big Trouble in Liittle China. You're also missing some key Cronenberg sci fi films such as The Fly, The Fly 2, The Dead Zone, Scanners, Videodrome, and eXistenZ.

Watch Cowboy Bebop, DAMNIT. There's a good 13hrs there for you.

dhmac

Both the 1956 and 1978 versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers are highly recommended.

(As a subtext in both - in the 1956 version, the Body Snatchers can be interpreted as Red Scare Commies; while in the 1978 version, the Body Snatchers can be interpreted as Republicans! )

RichC2

I love Cowboy Bebop.

I also love Serial Experiments Lain, IMHO, best scifi in the last decade - despite it being animated. (13 episode series)

Apollo 13 (somewhat fiction)
Armageddon

Someone already said Enemy Mine, but that's a great movie.

Also others I didn't see mentioned:
The 6th Day
Butterfly Effect (kind of)
Frequency
Hollow Man
Krull
Masters of the Universe (kind of)
Multiplicity (more of a comedy actually)

Also, some great TV sci-fi, not hard science fiction but with sci-fi elements, can be found in Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Angel and The Prisoner.
