Great thread yet again MXZT, but no way I could ever pick just one as the greatest ever.

My favourite is Coherence. It's an indie film that deals with parallel realities, really well made. I like sci. fi. that makes you think. Action and explosions isn't enough.
 
NOOOOOOOOOOO!


The man gives the most inspirational speech in the history of Trek and then changes his mind fifteen seconds later.

OK, I get that it wasn't supposed to be inspirational, and that it was in fact supposed to illustrate how lost in obsession he was, but man, it got the blood pumping.
 
LOL @ picking Terminator 2 for best Science Fiction movie ever

Never change, Sherdog

There's a solid argument to be made that it's the best science fiction action movie of all time, although I'd still pick the first one if that was the case.

In popular opinion it's probably between Terminator 2 and Aliens for best science fiction action.
 
I can't pick a #1, but Children of Men, Minority Report, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers deserve mentions.
On the list I'd go with Blade Runner (one of the director cut versions)

Great call on Children of Men.
 
I think Back to the Future is the best sci-fi movie ever made.

coherence is considered scifi?

It's one of the best action movies of all time. Same with Aliens.

But as science fiction it pales next to the likes of 2001 or the first Alien or Solaris etc...
