 | Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope (1977 & 2004 Versions, 2-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $7.99 Maybe the last three films in the series weren't that great. But this is the grandmother of them all, and I'll defend it 'till I die.
|
 | Predator (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.13 Ahnuld in a smart movie? A stalker film in which the stalker hunts down badazzes for a change instead a witless drama queens.
|
 | The Last Starfighter
Buy used from: $4.95 Ok, it gets a little corny at times, and the effects are a little dated. But boy is it fun to watch.
|
 | Robocop (20th Anniversary Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $6.00 The only Robocop film you'll ever need. An outstanding mixture of gore, advertising satire, and science fiction.
|
 | The Terminator (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.99 Possibly the last modestly budgeted film that Ahnuld or James Cameron were involved in, but not one cent was wasted.

![WarGames [Region 2]](http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/nav2/dp/no-image-no-ciu._SL75_V46836203_.gif) | WarGames [Region 2]
Buy used from: $19.77 A brilliant doomsday thriller disguised as cutesy 1980s teen fluff.
|
 | Back to the Future - The Complete Trilogy (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $12.85 One of the few worthwhile franchises to come from the 1980s. And don't forget to vote for Goldie.
|
![Zone Troopers [VHS]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21ZNBJG3VPL._SL75_.jpg) | Zone Troopers [VHS]
Buy used from: $2.65 Not out on DVD yet unfortunately. Great fun as aliens join GIs to battle Nazis. Worth the money just to see Hitler get pwned.
|
 | The Running Man (Special Edition)
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $2.00 It's sillier than all get-out, and it has little to do with King's novel; but casting Richard Dawson as the villain was pure genius.
|
 | Dark City (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy used from: $0.83 A spectacular movie that fell by the wayside, while garbage like Godzilla and Armageddon raked in the dough.
|
 | The Thing (Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.40 One of the few remakes that is actually better than the predecessor.
|
 | Starman (Full Screen Edition)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $2.84 Proof that John Carpenter can direct other things besides violent horror films. Here he tries family friendly romantic science fiction, and it's surpirsingly good.
|
 | Jaws (30th Anniversary Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.29 It may be categorized as a horror/thriller, but giant sharks to me have a science fiction element. A masterpiece, but stay away from the sequels.
|
 | The Road Warrior
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $0.88 The post-apocalypse genre has produced some really awful films. This on the other hand, is pure excellence.
|
 | Galaxy Quest
Buy used from: $2.00 A magnificent satire on Trekkie culture.
|
 | Star Trek IV - The Voyage Home (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)
Buy used from: $3.80 Speaking of Trek, a downright silly plot about whales that somehow got turned into a great film.
|
 | Alien (The Director's Cut)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $4.60 A gothic horror film set in space? Along with The Thing, two of the greatest science fiction/horror hybrids ever.
|
 | Aliens (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.29 More action-oriented and not as good as the first film, but still very, very, very good.
|
![2001 - A Space Odyssey [HD DVD]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41PdEU1aYqL._SL75_.jpg) | 2001 - A Space Odyssey [HD DVD]
Buy used from: $6.75 One of the scariest movies, I have ever seen. And it's rated G.
|
 | A Clockwork Orange (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $8.88 Not the easiest film to watch, but no respectable science fiction film list is complete without it.
