I have seen most of my favorites on this list except for two:

A Boy and his Dog.  This is based on Elison's short story by the same
name and is one of the best adaptations to the screen of a SF story
that I have every seen.  One of my favorite tricks is to take a young
woman to see it, just to see her reaction to the ending.  A boy and
his dog ...

On the Lathe of Heaven.  This is the other best adaptation to the
screen of a SF story.  Based on the novel by the same title by Le
Guin, this relitivly unknown movie was made for PBS.  I would say that
it is a must see.  Where as the violence in the above movie might turn
some off, there is nothing in this movie except intriguing ideas,
surprisingly good sets, and good acting.  A real winner for PBS.

P.S. "On the Lathe of Heaven" has the only Zen aliens that I have ever
seen.
