I see most of the sf movies I liked already listed here except for two :

"The Quaestor Tapes" - This was a made for TV pilot about an android designed
                       to "save" the human race by influencing world events.
                       The android, Quaestor, due to incomplete programming,
                       searches for the purpose of his existence and eventually
                       finds it.  The movie did not score high enough ratings
                       to earn a series though I personally thought the actor
                       who played Quaestor made a very good android.  Too bad.

"Silent Running"     - Basically a film to save the ecology.  The Earth has
                       been so urbanized that a place for the natural fauna
                       and flora no longer exists.  They are placed in dome
                       structures connected to orbiting space ships.  The
                       effects were good. The acting was so so but I liked
                       it overall.
