Right.

Kubrick was genius. I hate when people who are not enough smart to undestand movie bash it, for being pretentious. Those guys dont get it. It was intellectually schocking, It changed my life. I wouldnt be futuristic minded if it wouldnt be for that movie.

Did you guys cried when HAL was being dismantled. I as a child did.

Moon (2009) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/

One of my favorite movies. It's not that well known, either. I would really recommend it.

Alien, Aliens, Bladerunner and Star Trek Next Generation

[ALToids]

i'm a trekkie at heart. star trek: the next generation is my bread and butter. good stuff!

Star Trek Generations was cheesy but it is my fav of the movie series.  Seeing Kirk and Picard on the same screen was awesome.

The series finale to ST:TNG with Q was a masterpiece.

Although I'm not a big fan of Sci-fi Genre . The last Sci-fi I saw was Oblivion It was nice, I'll personally rate 3.5/5 .
 Any recommendations for Horror movies .

it not that good i expected more but for good SCI-FI vitit www.imdb.com and search for it.

What you want of sci-fi you want to watch old ones from late 80s and 90s or new ones.

This is tough decision to make so pick one and watch.

Personally recommendation: Enders Game, Aliens, Bladerunner, 2001 Space Odyssey, The Abyss, The Thing, Terminator.....

Yeah it was not one of the greats but a One time watch But OP mentioned hat he's into Tom Cruise so I think that's not a bad recommendation , If I have to choose one to watch I'll go with Avataar although many out there call it Over-Rated but I'm also looking forward for the next release of the series.

[...] The series finale to ST:TNG with Q was a masterpiece.

I liked the idea overall; it was a nice tie in to the series beginning, and a good explanation of why Q was always messing around with them. But to be honest, the way it was presented made it feel far too rushed, and not very well thought out. Considering TNG is my favorite Star Trek series, I was expecting something better.

In relation to the best sci-fi movie, if you're into OVA (original video animation) LYCAN, I'd recommend Ghost in the Shell. It doesn't have Tom Cruise in it, but give it a try anyway.

It's hard to say when we don't know which ones you watched..

Planet of the Apes - Revolution is good..

watch the new Transformers

and try to watch "District 9" if you want
Many good Sci-Fi movies is old movie, like Star Wars, Star Trek, E.T, Alien Series

The Abyss is a classic in every sense of the word for sci-fi.  Well written and decently acted.  Right up there with 2001.

star gate ftw

Old school sci-fi is the best. Much less cgi then now and better movies.

Try anything from that time.

[umairsaleem010]

Olbiviing , the avenger, x-man , gravity.

[Cranky4u]

Grab a book, the best Science Fiction is written in books. I recommend anything by Peter F. Hamilton as a start (but there are so many more so feel free to completely ignore my specific advice).

Night's Dawn trilogy - a wild look at possession of people in the far future...every space fairing species knows about it but no-one talks about it.

Overall, a great sci-fi opera writer, one of the best.

[Tifa1066]

Any of the Star Trek Films or series.

Forgot to add  The Day The Earth Stood Still.  The new one (2008) is more visually thrilling, but the older one is done better.
