Of course ET - The Extra-Terrestrial is and always will be the greatest sci-fi film of all time. Just timeless

The two Blade runners are hard to beat.
Why are so many saying various Star wars? That is fantasy.

If it's got lasers and robots and space ships it's sci-fi as far as I'm concerned.

I’m never sure how sci-fi is defined. I’m not a fan of hardcore fantasy sci-fi but I’m partial to realistic space dramas like Gravity including those set in the future like The Martian, Interstellar, etc. Perhaps my favourite sci-fi experience came in 1965, aged 8, when I saw something called The First Men in the Moon. Glorious film for an 8 year old that I’ve wanted to see again ever since. Based on an HG Wells story, starring Lionel Jeffries. Lovely stuff.

Sigourney Weaver refused to play Ripley in A3 unless there were no guns!

Another writer I've enjoyed is Philip K. Dick and the film version of Minority Report is a decent effort.

Alien and Aliens always do it for me, as do pretty much all 9 Star Wars movies. The Man Who Fell to Earth, Moon, 2001, there are so many, I love the genre.
And I’ll always remember an old 60s movie I watched when in my late teens, Robinson Crusoe on Mars, still watch it now and then as I downloaded it some years ago.

Erm why does it have to have those things? 1984, Brave new world, Jurassic Park.... None of that in those. Science fiction is about how humanity or society is affected by or changes/reacts to science and technology - it can include lasers and space ships and robots but star wars is just a fun fantasy setting where normal rules of the universe do not apply.
