Help Identify the Best Science Fiction Movies

What are the best Science Fiction Movies that have been made? Share you opinion by organizing the lists below. I look forward to discovering movies I may not have seen yet.

Serenity is a great, recent Science Fiction Movie. I also like Philip K. Dick stories and movies. Unfortunately he did not get popular until after his death. Movies based on his stories include, Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, Paycheck and most recently, A Scanner Darkly.

The list below was just put together randomly, lets all take time to help rank movies and add new ones.
