    You've got a list at IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/chart/scifi

    I find this other list more in line with my tastes: http://home.austarnet.com.au/petersykes/topscifi/lists_film.html

    And there's a non-rated list on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_science_fiction_films

    Must-see's (in no particular order):
    - Alien (1979)
    - The Thing (1982)
    - Blade Runner (1982)
    - 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
    - The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
    - Forbidden Planet (1956)
    - Brazil (1985)
    - Logan's Run (1976)
    - Metropolis (1926)
    - Fahrenheit 451 (1966)
    - Tron (1982)
    - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

    There are many superb films missing up there, however.

  9. Speaking of Jeff Goldblum, I nominate, "The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension"

    Seconds for:

    "The Island"
    "Serenity"

    (Although, before you watch Serenity, watch the TV series "Firefly")

    "Farscape" TV Series, followed up by "Peacekeeper Wars"
