You forgot what I consider to be the first MODERN science-fiction
movie:  FORBIDDEN PLANET.  This film is special in not only the
special effects, which are fantastic even for this time, but
also in the new way of looking at the Kroll not as evil monsters out
to destroy/enslave/eat humanity.  They are given as peaceful,
super-intelligent beings that forgot that there own humble beginnings 
began as all intelligent being's began, in the predator.  And that the
predator still exists in the id.  This film is landmark in its
effects, rational plot, and the deviation to reality from the current
plots of the other movies of the day.  I think in originality, and in
its uniqueness we find we can find the most revolutionary
Science-Fiction Movie of all time.
