[the night watchman]

1. Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982)
2. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968)
3. Aliens (James Cameron, 1986)
4. Star Wars/The Empire Strikes Back (Lucas/Kershner, 1977/80)
5. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (Nicholas Meyer, 1982)
6. Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1926)
7. Akira (Katsuhiro Otomo, 1988)
8. Dark City (Alex Proyas, 1998)
9. The Day the Earth Stood Still (Robert Wise, 1951)
10.Quatermass and the Pit (Roy Ward Baker, 1967)

I included only those movies which seemed strictly science fiction, hence no Alien, Invasion of the Body Snatchers or The Thing, since those strike me more as horror, and no Mad Max or The Road Warrior, since those are primarily action, and no Jurassic Park, since it's primarily adventure. I debated about including Brazil, but again, it seems to be more of an absurdist fantasy than science fiction.
