Apart from the usual movies:
1. The Last Starfighter - Geek's wet dream. Be the best in video game, save the galaxy for real! Gunstars are great heavy fighters!
2. Tron - Who wouldn't want to ride a Light Cycle, flying a Solar Sailer, throwing killer frisbees and battling Recognizers after being digitized into a computer.
3. Dune - Amazing production design for the David Lynch movie, visually blows the Sci-Fi miniseries out of the water although the miniseries is a more faithful adaptation.
4. Close Encounters of the Third Kind - great UFO movie, visually spectacular at Devil's Tower, no anal probes thank god.
5. Gattaca - low key genetic engineering movie, great premise and great execution given the limited budget it had. And 12-fingered piano players are teh hot!
6. Minority Report - movie about precogs used to catch murderers before they kill. A nicely executed what if premise, and taking it a step further one level from Philip K. D i c k's original story. (For comparison, Blade Runner removes a lot of elements from the original Do Android Dream of Electric Sheep? and Total Recall, apart from the Rekal company is totally different from We Dream It For You Wholesale.)
Special mentions -
7. Plan 9 From Outer Space - B-movie labeled the worst movie ever made directed by the legendary Ed Wood. Has UFOs, zombies and vampires of sorts... Good for laughs.
8. Slithis - another B-movie, extremely badly made. A monster mutant from out the sea kills people! I saw this in the theater when I was 4-5, scared the crap out of me.
Edit: Should have anticipated the autoedit on PKD's name.

1.TRON-Cool outfit, cool bikes and marvellous neo lights.
2.Ultraman ( The Series )- marvellous seroes, brought to you by the dependable RTM, every Friday evening. Yeah!!! Better translation back on those days.
3.Star Trek - the movie where Kirk meets Picard. Very nicely done and full of respect towards the whole concept
4.Picard have to be the cool Borg.
5.Star Trek- Search for the pointy Spock.They have to destroy the ship and get a new one. Something to do with a Sting lookalike guy called Khan.
6.Star Trek- where they have to be in the real world. They really look funny.
7.Terminator 2 - way way much better than the first movie. T1000 is being produced by the software called Photoshop. ( Just imagine how far they push that silly software huh! ) Linda Hamilton looks fitter and meaner compared with whiny, big haired Debbie Gibson in the first movie.
8.One silly movie where David Bowie in it.
9. One movie where A whole bunch of super furry animals equipped with stones and ranting kayu managed to beat a whole army that comes equipped with Speeder Bikes and AT-ST.Only saving grace is when Luke did his battle royale with Vader. Sadly and as usual, one bearded guy called Lucas killed off Palpatine with a wrestling move.
