2001: ASO is my favorite film, and, I would say the greatest film in general.

I wouldn't say Blade Runner is at all a Cult Classic, it's a fairly universally praised science fiction masterpiece and in recent years has been re-assessed as one of the greatest American films of the last 30 years or so.

Metropolis is a tremendous film as well, I would also add Andrei Tarkovsky's Solyaris and Stalker as favorites.

Jean-Luc Godard also dabbled a bit in Sci-Fi and made the very good Alphaville

Videodrome, Alien, Aliens, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, The Day The Earth Stood Still, A Clockwork Orange, Planet of the Apes, A.I. Are pretty clicje selections but are all favorites along with the ones above.

I enjoyed the first Matrix when it first came out but the trilogy is pretty uninteresting I think, Distirct 9 and Star Trek were fun in the theatre but forgotten as soon as I got home.
