Recommend some good sci-fi films

I hope you are willing to consider Battlefield earth...

Really though, Terry Gilliam's Brazil was a great concept. Quite heavyhanded but well detailed and performed, plus some bizarre humour.

I'd assume you've seen the original Day The Earth Stood Still (avoid the remake), but that too.

Ahh, so he's the asshole responsible for 2012. Based entirely on the vibes I'm getting about this movie (having not even seen a trailer), I think I'll give this one a miss.
 
VIDOCQ is very good. More of a Sherlock Holmes vibe rather than SCI FI I guess but it fits.

I like some of the older films;
Rollerball ( original, not that crappy remake )
Soylent Green
Logan's Run
Scanners

Some newish:
Dark City
Reign of Fire is a guilty pleasure of mine
 
Reign of Fire should have been terrible by all logic, but somehow turned out pretty goddamn entertaining. The recent recut of Dark City added some necessary expository scenes that improved an already excellent film.
