The Jim Henson Company is, IMO, vastly under-rated in their productions in this Genre.

Blade Runner, the original (1982), with Harrison Ford is my absolute favorite science fiction movie. Alien, the first one from 1979 would be the runner-up. And Aliens from 1986 would be next.

Blade runner with all that is being developed by science and the path society is headed may be the future reality.

It is on my list of favorites as well.

2001 Space Odessey

Yes how could I forget that one. 2001 a Space Odyssey is one of my favorites!

I loved a lot of Kubrick's films. 2001 Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Lolita.

As a lifelong Trekkie, I would rate the following movies in my order, and yes, although I do enjoy other Sci-Fi, Trek is my go-to.
1. Star Trek VI-The Undiscovered Country
2. Star Trek-Nemesis
3. Star Trek IV-The Voyage Home
4. Star Trek-The Motion Picture
5. Star Trek-Generations
6. Star Trek-First Contact
7. Star Trek II-The Wrath of Khan
8. Star Trek III-The Search for Spock
9. Star Trek V-The Final Frontier
10. Star Trek-Insurrection
Note I didn't include the JJ verse movies, although they appeal to me in an "alternate timeline" sort of way, I preferred the original canon films/series.

I was visually impressed with seeing Avatar in 3D at the theater.
Original Alien and second one were the best.
Rouge One is what I consider the best Star Wars.
Interstellar because of the time dilation stuff.
Dune parts 1&2
Robocop
The Edge of Tomorrow
War of the Worlds, both old and new.
The Thing
The Riddick trilogy
Hunger Games series

And for B rated, cartoonishly violent, and comically cheesy...
Starship Troopers

For a television series I will add The Expanse.

A Tv series I believe Called V was a good one ,reptile like creatures taking the form of humans invading earth.
Then the movie '' They Live'' with Roddy Piper in it was good.

I did enjoy V a whole lot as a kid, but when I went back to try to watch it, it just does not age well at all.


I am not a Trekki, but other than Farscape, I don't think any sci-fi TV series holds a candle to most of those series.

Babylon 5....end of discussion....

Babylon 5....end of discussion....

I just never cared for it. I just could not get into it. It too, seemed dated to me, in comparison to say, StarGate and Farscape.

I just enjoyed the acting, story and production values of the other series more.

Maybe if I had watched it when it first came out? I have never paid for cable, so I didn't see it when it was made, only years after.
Personally? I was more partial to the series StarGate, (which I had viewed first,) so I had no clue that the two actors they brought in later to keep the series going, had originally starred in Farscape.

I dunno. I tried to get into Babylon 5, it too seemed dated to me, and I didn't feel the actors interactions and chemistry were as good as some of the Star Trek series and Farscape.

. . it's all in the eyes of the beholder I guess.
I remember when I was busy with other things and saw my father watching Babylon when I would visit, it just seemed to me more like a space soap opera, than a real sci-fi series.

All three have nearly identical scores on IMbd.

I also enjoy the ORIGINAL incarnation of Battlestar Galactica. The reboot was too dark for my tastes.
