2001 A Space Odyssey (I'm a Stanley Kubrick junkie)
I also liked "The Adventures of Pluto Nash" (2002) where it featured an independent, libertarian based moon colony and the Earth was more socialist.
"Mission to Mars" (2000)
"The Last Starfighter" (1984)
"The Wraith" (1986) - Starred Charlie Sheen, maybe not hardcore SF, he comes back from the dead to aid one of his friends whi is bullied by one gang, but the car he drove was very science fiction.
"Conquest of Mars" (1955)
"The Black Hole" (1979)

That’s that creepy Brit film isn’t it?
No one has mentioned it.

And the ending! It’s full circle. One of my favorite Larson cartoons shows little Aliens at their Thanksgiving table. One is tattling on another—emerging from a turkey.

Sorry I went past three, but I get carried away, I like a lot of SF.

Genuine Science Fiction? I tried for the ambitious, even if most folks think they’re failures.
2001: A Space Odyssey
Blade Runner
A.I. (Yes, THAT A.I.)
All three were met with either lukewarm receptions or outright hatred when they premiered. 2001 is now regarded as a masterpiece. Blade Runner is also highly regarded. A.I. is still regarded unfavorably (especially for its ending) but I find it fascinating.
Runners-up:
Planet of the Apes (Just the original.)
Alien (This one is kinda marginal where science is considered. But very believable.)
Solaris (I’ve only seen the Steven Soderbergh version)
Moon (Unfortunately, you can only really watch it once. Maybe twice.)
Silent Running (Bruce Dern plays another nut. But I think the Valley Forge ranks up there with the Discovery for interesting, hard-science ships.

Ah, my first date with the spousal unit was Jurassic Park. I was practically in his lap from terror.

Like an idiot, I completely forgot The Day the Earth Stood Still. I’m torn between the top tier and runners up.
Forbidden Planet was also something of a watershed motion-picture, but that sits right on the edge of “space fantasy.”
The Star Trek pilot episode The Menagerie is also superb, but also skirts space fantasy.
