I'm bored so I thought I would check out some new movies.
Here's my favorites.
1. The Alien/s movies, obviously
2. The thing
3. Event Horizon
4. The Abyss
5. The Cube movies
Without internal order, here are five good ones:
* Stargate (Movie, Series, Spinn-off-series, spinn-off-movie... need I say more?)
* Blade Runner (though the book's better...)
* 12 Monkeys (Gilliam, makes you think twice)
* Starship troopers (Death from above!!! 
)
* Tank Girl (It's funny) Since you did not ask for top 5 favorites or top-grossing, I would tend to pick those films which most closely adhered to the spirit of classic science fiction a la Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury, ...

Good special effects are nice to have, but have little to do with science fiction. Sci-Fi movies.....
1. Blade Runner
2. Aliens 1 & 2
3. Star Wars 4 to 6
4. The Abyss
5. The Thing
i am a new memberi am a new member
1) Event horizon
2) Alien/Aliens
3) Pitch Black
4) Akira
5) Appleseed
Some of my top picks are a little... iffy as to scifi classification, but I consider them scifi.
1. The Fifth Element
2. Spaceballs (a comedy, but somewhat scifi)
3. Deep Impact
4. Tron
5. Star Wars: Attack of the clones
a varied list here indeed!
my favs are
1) back to the future
2) 2001
3) contact (although - they did almost spoil the film it was a really rocking book)
4) star wars
5) star trek movies
Narrowing down at the Sci Fi movies to a top five? That's tough... they're all so different! But mine would have to be:
1.) The Matrix
2.) The Fifth Element
3.) Star Wars
4.) Star Trek: First Contact
5.) The Day the Earth Stood Still
Empire strikes back
Terminator 1
Matrix 1
Close Encounters of the third kind

Seriously? I loved episode 1!
Now I enjoy (its not really a movie), but Stargate Atlantis is really cool. For those who didn't see it yet, watch the first episode and see if you like it. Also watch Stargate SG1 ofcourse!
Ofcourse I also like all the star wars episodes, those are classic. I found Event Horizon very scary though 
-Terminator 1 & 2, the third one ended with a bit of a WTF? element. It ruined the whole storyline, and barely made sense.
-Alien Vs Predator 2 - Requiem. The second one was much better than the first in terms of graphical effects and surprise factors.
-Transformers. Instant Pwnage. How they managed to do all those effects in every second of the movie was just simply amazing. The story was short, but, it was a great improvement to all those cliche cartoon episodes. Yeah, I did use to watch them. Don't ask why.
Just saw Keenu Reeves- the day the earth stood still -
they (he) came to save the world and left with just destroying about half of it......
- 12 Monkeys
- Ghost in the Shell (all of it, movies, SAC series, all)
- Donnie Darko
- Blade Runner
- Back to the Future (series)
1. Serenity
2. The Matrix
3. Back To The Future
4. Terminator 2
5. 2001
I feel that E.T. and Contact also deserve special mention, since I very nearly included them in the list.
