You know MoJo once I start woring my way thru the replys here it's almost impossible to leave to check for pings to other message postings much less what's up on the forum. But, hey that's what makes it so much fun.
As a very little girl, Creature From the Black Lagoon. I would never swim in a lake after that.
As an adult, Alien. Suspense to the very end.
Favorite All Time Sciece Fiction Show?:
The Original "Outer Limits". A terrific, B&W, 1960s weekly series that emphasized characters and plot over Special Effects. A great template for young film students and buffs to study in regards to "Less Means More" and the use of shadow and music to heighten suspense.
Favorite Episodes: "The Demon With A Glass Hand", "Architechs Of Fear", "The Zanti Misfits", "The Chameleon", "O.B.I.T", "The Sixth Finger", "The Inheritors", "The Hundred Days Of The Dragon", "Controlled Experiment', A Feasibilty Study", "The Man Who Was Never Born".
Second Favorite Series: "Babylon-5". Great writing, cast, plot, charcaters. Superb Special Effects. Light years ahead of "STNG", "DS-9" and "Voyager".
Favorite Sci~Fi Films:
"The Thing From Another World": A Who's Who of B-Actor talent turn in their best work and create the Classic "Red Scare/Sci~Fi Film. The Yardstick by which other films are measured. Nothing can touch it for dialogue and creepy claustrophobia!
"The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers": The original with Kevin McCarthy still holds its own today.
"Aliens": What "Alien" should have been. Instead of a high priced rip-off of "It! The Terror From Beyond Space". Inter-Galactic Marines kick a$$ and take names on a far off planet.
Early David Cronenberg: From "They Came From Within" to "Rabid", "The Brood" to "Scanners". Though "The Brood" is the most frightening.

2001 A bit ponderous, but the first time they spent the money the genre deserved
Star Wars at last a real lived in uinverse that didn't look as it was cobbled together in the studio workshop, TRON "... wait, no" 
Serenuty sight unseen: In Joss We Trust
TV
Dr Who The long champ, (off to watch Robots of Death now - a robot story better than Asimov
Firefly the short champ - just 18 episodes - but Joss Whedon, so the womem are brave and strong, the men proud ans beautiful, the science dodgy, and the writing like the snow on the Feast of St Stephen - crisp and deep and even. (Plus Joss told the head actor, Nathan Fillon, to base his portrayal on John Wayne)
Babylon 5 The free market 23d century, much better than that socialist Gene Rodenberry version
Farscape "Sense of Wonder" - what the whole SF thing is all about.
Red Dwarf is a good Sci-fi TV show.
BTTT!!!!!
Favorite SciFi is hard to choose. I liked ALL of the Star Trek series and movies (except Star Trek: The Motion Picture). My family and I never missed an episode of Dr. Who. And I like the Star Wars movies. When I could get good reception, I liked Babylon 5, but it was on a station that was weak in our area. I refuse to get cable, I'd rather pay the money to get the series on DVDs.
