What Are Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movies?

I'm not sure if these all qualify as scifi or not. Depending on your definition it can be a broad category:

Alien and Aliens
Star Trek 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8
Star Wars episodes 4,5 & 6
Predator
Back to the Future I & II
Terminator 1&2
Total Recall
Robocop
Independence Day
Blade Runner
Fifth Element

Came in to post these 3
 
Top of my head:

Alien
Aliens
The Terminator
Terminator 2
The Abyss
Gravity
Pacific Rim
Edge of Tomorrow
Robocop
Predator
Back to the Future

Pretty sure I'm forgetting a lot of sci-fi movies in my list.
Back to the Future is a comedy with a sci fi overlay, not really science fiction.
But this is a good list.
I haven't seen Pacific Rim or Edge of Tomorrow but if you put them among the rest of these, I'll have to.

"Pacific rim" was almost an exact photo copy of Evangelion anime. Not too original, imho.

Although "Edge of Tomorrow" was a sci-fi copy/version of "the Groundhog day", I did enjoy it immensely. Granted, Emily Blunt is mah fave woman in the world.

I'm pretty forgiving if I like the story.
In spite of it's failures, I like Prometheus.
Really what kills a sci fi faster than anything for me is bad physics.
Star Wars, I can only tolerate because it's tradition for me, first film I ever saw in a theater. It has terrible physics, but I ignore it well enough.
 
Sunshine is hella under rated people get pissed with the ending but it's visually stunning.

I own the movie but those SA accents just drive me to distraction

Many have already named so many greats so I won't repeat. But I'll put a shout out to a great little gem people often overlook that has a wonderful Neo Noir feel like Blade Runner, but some themes similar to Matrix:

Dark City
