Here's a nice list of some classics. I'm sure there are some good ones that aren't on there -- and Aeon with his cruelly high standards for what counts as science-fiction will probably want to kick some off that are on there -- but it's a good start:
Honestly, how can a list which contains Waterworld be taken seriously?
Still, the list reminded me of Colossus - The Forbin Project, which is the original supercomputers-take-over-the-world film and still the best. That film belongs on the top ten list.
Has anyone ever seen The Thirteenth Floor (or 13th Floor)? It's pretty good in my humble opinion and it begins philosophically enough with Descartes "I think, therefore, I am". I liked it. Saw the original Solaris and it was good but way way way too long and I've seen my share of long movies. But still worth watching.
