I thought I was the only one who was going to say “Forbidden Planet” but apparently there are a lot of us. Also had the hottest girl.

Invaders from Mars. (the original one)

The first and second Star Wars movies. I have no idea what episode they were.

Hard to say but the following come to mind:

War of the Worlds - 1953 version
Independence Day
Alien

I also like The Thing with Kurt Russell and loved the new Battleship movie; I thought that was much better than I thought it was going to be.
I developed a fascination watching the old B&W sci-fi movies that came on after the news on Friday night. Anything that had to do with flying saucers or aliens and I was glued to the television set. We’d pop some popcorn and fix some koolaid or cokes and sit down to watch it and make a night of it. If lucky I would be able to see 2 “monster” movies until I fell asleep around 2:00 in the morning. Those were good times.

Modern sci-fi I would say Bladerunner, The Fifth Element, Star Wars and Star Trek obviously. Seremity is there for the very recent sci-fi and I am drawing blank thoughts on very recent sci-fi.

I’ll leave the classics to othere, I have my favorites and the top of the list is of course The Time machine. The George pal version, not the ones after it though arguably the latest one was a keeper.

There was a Gene Autry serial with the “Thunder Riders” who were actually spacemen. Of course the special effects were not that great, for instance they would drop little bombs out of a Piper Cub etc. Instead of having lasers.

The stories were very watchable tho.
