haven't we gone over movies before?  anyway:

THX1138 - this is my by far and away favorite, even eclipsing 2001.
(but then, 2001 pales after the 15th viewing...)  i must admit that
i'm a big fan of degenerative societies, but i'm sure i would have
been just as impressed with this movie even if i weren't.

Collosus, the Forbin Project - don't write this one off because of
the terrible novel it is based on.  the plot's about the same, but
the trash like the wimpy Forbin and the conniving president was
discarded.  if you've only seen it on TV, you haven't really seen it.
(on the other hand, if you didn't like it on TV, you probably won't
like it in a theatre.)

Dark Star - an excellent film, the only comic SF movie i know of
(unless you want to consider "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" (not quite
SF) or "Plan 9 from Outer Space" (not intentionally comic)).
