Ghost in the Shell (1995): Building on the success of feature length anime such as ‘Akira’, Ghost in the Shell ups the ante in presentation, action, and philosophical underpinnings, making this superior even if not quite as groundbreaking.
Akira (1989): With incredible hand–drawn animation and a unique sci–fi world, this is the one anime film definitely worth seeing even if you're not a fan of the genre.
Casshern (2004): Visually impressive, with an almost half–half mixture of live acting and CG sets, Casshern is a magnificent futuristic sci–fi world with serious style and fast–paced action.
Metropolis (1926): The film that almost ruined a studio, Metropolis may be dated in terms of acting and presentation, but still stands as a marvel of sci–fi achievement in its design, effects, and visual marvels.; DVD $19.95 | Blu-Ray $19.95
Blade Runner (1982): A sci–fi classic, Blade Runner's magnificent world of strange futuristic sights is dripping with style and atmosphere. The director’s cut, while slightly more confusing, finally brings us Ridley's original vision.
Zombieland (2009): Zombies, gore, a varied cast (from Harrelson’s “don’t mess with me” craziness to Eisenberg’s geeky everyman), and slick visuals. Highlights include Harrelson’s zombie kill of the week moments and Eisenberg’s survival rules guide.
Dead Snow (Død Snø) (2009): This is a splatter through and through, with little original content and plenty of references to other horror titles. But it’s still highly and violently entertaining, especially with friends. Plus the viral ad campaign was pure gold: “Dead Snow My Ass.”; DVD $29.95
Moon (2009): Rockwell is brilliant as the lone moon base operator, carrying almost the entire film solo. However, if you’re not a fan of his peculiar performances, or of sci–fi in general, you should probably sit this one out.
Snakes on a Plane (2006): Laugh–out–loud ridiculous, the success of the film comes down to Samuel L's ability to cite fantastically OTT B–grade one–liners with such conviction and attitude that there is nothing you can do but laugh. Is this worth 1–star or 5?
Wanted (2008): Timur makes his move to the US with Wanted (to the disappointment of many expecting a 3rd in the 'Day/Night Watch' saga). With some outrageous visual effects and Jolie's sex appeal, this is more Hollywood than Timur's previous films, but still enjoyab
