If you like the really bad, too, then Starcrash.

If you must watch sci-fi, then the 70's is where it's at.

I could think of many....2 are:

Solaris (1972)
Solaris (2002)

Most great sci fi made in the past 30 years is anime. Animation allows for more creative freedom than live action while working on a smaller budget and hence doesn't need to be dumbed down for mainstream audiences. Also animation doesn't date with time while special effects do.

Examples of great sci-fi animation films:

Ghost in the Shell; Arise (film series, 2013)
Ghost in the Shell 2 (2004)
Ghost in the Shell (1995)
Patlabor 2 (1993)
Patlabor (1989)
Gunbuster (1988)
Akira (1988)
Wings of Honneamise (1987)
Nausicaa (1984)

The first one is great, the second one is a turd.

Sunshine (2007)
Moon (2009)
Pandorum (2009)

I admit this is more of a guilty pleasure in the so bad it is good category, but it has a rock opera opening song, no less then three civilizations get whiped out, and a man hang glides with the corpse of a giant bat.

The Angry Red Planet (1959). The "special effects" on Mars are actually pretty cool. And of course you need to make sure you see Metropolis (1927).

I may go back to hating you. It was more fun.

The Man From Earth comes to mind when I think of this topic. Have not watched it in years, but I remember it being a great little small film.

No it's not. It's just different. In some ways it's more focused and more emotionally.

I recommend 2001. It's such a hidden gem and a true masterpiece that nobody knows about.

The Quiet Earth.

Planet of the Vampires (1965) - you'll get to see where the outfits from the X-Men movies came from!
