Dark City should be mentioned. All of the above are excellent choices as well.

[rage patton]

I like how you put Brazil twice on the list, Nipples. But, would you really count Children of Men and Jurrasic Park as "sci-fi" movies though?

Jurassic Park is debatable.. I guess, but I'd still put it in mine. And why wouldn't Children of Men be?

[paulb]

no. its a joke. just pointing out a fairly obvious bad one.

[MissingPerson]

Children of Men is fantastic. V For Vendetta's good, but Children of Men was way, way better.

Sunshine was disappointing. Donnie Darko count as scifi?

WHERE THE FUCK IS TEENWOLF?

[MissingPerson]

Some of my favorites:

Serenity

Serenity was good, but I thought it got a bit slow in the middle, and I really think there were episodes of the series that were better. Still River finally got some proper fighting, and it was great.

[jigsaw]

What about PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE?

[iv3rdawG]

Serenity was good, but I thought it got a bit slow in the middle, and I really think there were episodes of the series that were better. Still River finally got some proper fighting, and it was great.

Yeah there were episodes that were better. But in making a TV to film adaptation I think they did a great job.

[jigsaw]

flight of the navigator

[MissingPerson]

Yeah, I kind of wonder did any non-Whedon nerds enjoy it as much though.

[jigsaw]

E.T.

[betao]

Some of my favorites:

Terminator 2: Judgment Day

holy crap, how could I forget about this one? Such a classic film.

[M Sparks]

I can't even talk to non-Whedon nerds. I can't fathom it.

[bmack86]

Brazil is my favorite, but Solyaris and Stalker are both dead on brilliant.

And Star Wars, of course.
