I love sci-fi movies a lot, aside from sports(motivational) movie.
My favorites are 2001: Space Odyssey, Pi, Aliens, Moon, Stalker, Matrix Series, Solaris, Ex Machina, Gattaca, Contact, Sunshine and K:PAX.
Don't recommend me superhero movies cause they obviously falls under sci-fi. genre.
I want something pure sci-fi like one of my friend recommended Primer. Not as complex as that but something understandable.
As you can see through my favorites it dates from 1960's till now.. but they might be mainstream, so I might miss some.
Oh plz god dont say interstellar. Its not that good sci-fi as regards to other, but I like that song. I like other song too Brain Damage, I guess facebook doesn't like this name (funny story I'll post it on comment)
EDIT : I forgot about Brazil
And for Anime Steins;Gate

Thanks to MaxThunder for the sponsored GA

EDIT 20th May 17: As some members have asked to create a public list. I have created a list on IMDB which consists all the movies recommended by the community.

Note: The list contains Feature Films, TV series & movies, Anime & series. This list might contains some movies that can't considered as sci-fi movies. This is just a list of recommended movies, you might have to filter out which movie might fit for you. I haven't filtered out any recommendations from members on the list, but I might have missed some of them because I couldn't find its link.

Don't be silly, finally got my chance ,You will find something. I too have watched most of them. But there will always be some hidden gems overshadowed by the popular ones.
And there are some bad, low rated movies, which we can enjoy sometime. for example I just found out about Killer Tomatoes and theres a whole bunch of movies. It would be fun to watch it with friends no matter how bad it is.

Have not read all the suggestions, but District 9 was impressive to me. Also recently saw The Martian. That was pretty good too.

Yep District 9 is a good one. Too bad most of us don't know about this title.
The Martian was nice too, but for me I enjoyed the book more. The movie has cut some good adventure aspect that should have been included. I guess that will always be a thing due to length constraints in a movie.

It reached to 213 from 100+. Luckily I had watched almost 50% of the recommended ones. The bad thing is though, the one's that have been newly added are almost 30% Series. Too less time and so much to watch.

Enemy mine. Old one, not the greatest, but decent.
Krull is awful terrible, you must watch it lol.
The arrival (with charlie sheen somewhere in the 90's)
Ex-Machina
And well.
Firefly is a tv show that lasted 1 season only, though its great, if you want a movie, serenity, which is a movie based on the show (to end it properly), though you can watch it without watching the show first

And speaking of tv shows, go check Battlestar galactica (the new one)

Thanks for recommendations. I had stopped watching Fringe after season 3 because the it started getting too boring. In one of the earlier post, I heard the producers and writers went back and improved on how the series should be. And the seasons are way better than previous seasons. Planning to watch the remaining seasons.

There are only 4 seasons. I think the length was perfect. The story was complete, it doesn't overstay its welcome. It 's one of my favourite tv shows ever :)

No there are 5 seasons of Fringe. I guess you might have missed one out :P
They started messing up with the series after introduction of that parallel universe. They started milking the show, for that they were criticized and later fixed their stories.

Most my suggestions are either obvious or probably already been said, so without stating the obvious "watch Star Wars" here's a couple of my faves.

  1. Blade Runner, such a great film and such a great game as well. Philip K. Dick wrote some great sci-fi novels and this is probably the best film adaptation, even if it was hated before the directors cut.
  2. Total Recall, again the original, its actually pretty deep for Arnie madness! Raises questioks on "what is real?"
  3. Log Horizon, its like Sword Art Online but good.
  4. Ghost In the Shell, the anime not the film, not because I hate the film but because I've not seen it to comment on how good it is. The anime though is stellar.
  5. Interstellar, not a big fan of modern sci-fi usually but this was great!
  6. Steins;Gate, timetravel microwave 'nuff said, perhaps one of if not the best anime there is(in my opinion).
  7. Dune miniseries, it does Dune some justice, hoping the eventual new films we get reboots the series and does it justice. It should be as big as LotR, Star Wars, Star Trek and all the other huge fantasy franchises. How this isn't a cash cow is beyond me.
  8. Rick & Morty, great comedic TV show which heavily relies on sci-fi elements.
  9. Cowboy Beebop, 3, 2, 1 lets Jam! If anything for the theme, its not as good as everyone says but its still great!
  10. Evangellion, get in the fuckin' robot Shinji. Watched it so many times, its still like I'm on acid whilst I'm watching it.

There is a German film I watched which I really loved. Its called Cargo. The tagline "Space is Cold" really fit the theme of the story. I would suggest it.
