The best sci fi film I’ve ever seen is Interstellar.
The sci fi book series I most hope they adapt is the Red Rising series, which is peak sci fi.

Reading this thread and seeing the praise it gets I should probably give Interstellar another watch. I've only seen it once and though it was utterly dull.

Another vote for Silent Running. Not least due to it being heavily sampled by FSOL in the 90s. Bruce Dern in an icon.

Predator has always been a favourite of mine. Prey was excellent. Given how some of the predator sequels have gone, I wasn't sure what to think beforehand, but I really enjoyed Prey.

Not a film, but I massively enjoyed the first series of Andor on Disney. I've not enjoyed any of the new Star Wars films. Except for Rogue One, which was a prequel.
I've been saying to friends who are into Star Wars, they shouldn't have tried to shoe horn in old characters to the new films. They have a rich enough world that they can create new characters with new stories, without having to rehash old paths. I think that's been proven with the quality of The Mandalorian and Andor which are both great.
Andor is particularly good though. The first series not even touching Jedi's at all. Its just a story of about people living in that world under Imperial rule. Its the best Star Wars story for a long time.

Source Code is a great film. I like the idea of being able to go back in time multiple times and learn from your mistakes until you get it right. Also liked the bit when he gets the really uptight stand up comic to do his routine in front of the passengers

Anyone remember 'The Flipside of Dominick Hide' and the sequel 'Another Flip for Dominick' from the 1980's? TV time travel plays. I enjoyed them and remember them fondly.

Bold statement. I've not seen any of the Alien films and never had any desire to, but appreciate they are well thought of.
So that definition would exclude Star Wars because, as we all know, it was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, ie not the future!!I know you're in the States, but in the UK it's defined as:

It is! They are a bit of a sub genre of sci-fi horror I guess, so maybe if that isn't your bag, but it definitely is mine. The franchise has been let down IMO by some of the later films being crap, but the first two are stone cold classics IMO.

Apologies it was in fact at that time the most expensive Disney film ever made. (It must be an age thingThat seems unlikely, given it made $35m at the box office on a $20m budget (+$6m for advertising).
It was apparently the first Disney film to be rated PG.

Are you confusing it with the Black Cauldron, which did make a massive loss on release a few years later?
)However they’ve made a few since
