Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong, again, we're talking one
of my favorite genres, even if I had to invent it. 
But, in alphabetical order, 2001: A Space Odyssey,
Akira, Blade Runner, A Boy and His Dog, Brazil, Close
Encounters of the Third Kind, The Day the Earth Stood
Still, The Empire Strikes Back, Metropolis, Solaris
...
