War of the Worlds - some ppl hate Spielbergs movie, maybe because of Cruise, but I really liked it. I grew up on the soundtrack though so I've always love War of the Worlds.
Minority Report - Tom Cruise always picks good films.
Looper
Attack the Block - star wars bloke before he was mega star wars famous.
Inception
A.I. :Artificial Intelligence - Underrated Spielberg film IMO. I've seen it soooo many times.
Ex-Machina
Interstellar
Donnie Darko - a classic!!
Independence Day - another all time classic for me, I grew up on this one.
The Martian - I do love me some Matt Damon.
Star Trek (2009) - I dont really rate the old Star Trek movies with Shatner and co, the Next Gen ones were hit and miss too, some were great though.
The Abyss
Dark City
Predator - another classic and another one I grew up on.
Starship Troopers - the original for me is an absolute sci-fi classic and if I was making a top 10 list, this film would be on it, the sequels were gash.
Ghostbusters I & II
Contact - loved this film growing up. Im ok to go, im ok to go, im ok to go.
Total Recall - CLASSIC. Two weeks.... two weeks....
The Fifth Element - I know a lot of ppl that dont like this movie or see it as silly but i freaking love it. It's a perfect fun, action a plenty sci-fi with stunning visuals. It's one of my favourite Bruce Willis flicks. Multipass!
Jurassic Park - one of my all time favourite films. Ever.
Sphere
RoboCop - a classic which I again grew up on. Sequels werent great but the original was a cracker.
Terminator 2 - Judgement Day - quite clearly the best of the Terminator franchise, a baddie for the ages and a killer soundtrack. The original was also very good but we all love Arnie as the hero, not the villain. Endlessly quotable.
The Thing
E.T. - another I grew up on and love eternally. Spielberg doing his thing again.
The Matrix - would probably make my top 10 list. An all time classic IMO. The two sequels were pretty average and never lived up to how great the original was.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind - Spielberg at it again.
Alien
Aliens - each film stands alone, you can bunch the two together, everything after Aliens though is pretty average stock standard sci-fi but the first two are true classics.
Back to the Future Trilogy - the original is the best but I love all three and grew up on them.
Star Wars Trilogy - the prequels dont exist and if you erased the Ewoks from the back half of Return and replaced them with I dont know.... Wookies, you know a creature capable of taking on Stormtroopers in a battle then you would have had a perfect trilogy.
Anything I missed lads?
I know, I know. 2001: A Space Odyssey but I re-watched it about a year ago and it was boring. Just straight up boring.
Also, any list of all time usually has Blade Runner in 1st or 2nd but I've tried to watch it a couple of times and havent been able to get through the first 15 minutes. I really, really, have to push through and watch that film to see what all the fuss is about.
You guys got any guilty pleasure sci-fi's like Cowboys and Aliens which I just recently re-watched

Yep, that's the one. My Dad also introduced me and my brother to it.
Seriously? I adore Wall-E. It's an absolutely terrific film. It's a massive credit to the film that for the first half hour or so there is pretty much no dialogue at all. It's a great love story but also a great social commentary on where the human race is heading with phones, or screens and information. People turning into fat ppl who dont walk or do anything, everyone just stuck in front of their monitor.
Good quality sirloin medium rare probably my favourite meal
