No. Great books yes, but movies !? I’m not going to get into a argument about what is science fiction and what isn’t. Someone will undoubtedly say that Star Wars I’d not “science fiction” it’s space opera, etc...

Star Wars
Star Trek
Alien
Predator
District 9
Blade Runner
The Terminator
2001
The Matrix
The Thing (John Carpenter version)
Minority Report
Gattica
Sunshine
Interstellar
Mad Max
Avatar
Planet of the Apes
Edge of Tomorrow

Most of these are franchises. Not all are great of course. But since roughly 1977 when Star Wars came out movies have only gotten better. JMHO, your mileage may vary.

Of course most of those in your list are really just making the same movies they were in the 50s, only with better budgets. That was the Star Wars revolution: make B movies with an A budget and schedule and laugh all the way to the bank.

2001 was a long time before 1977
