We took a trip through decades of the genre and came up with a list of the most important and best hard science fiction movies of all time. They are the essence and the foundations of the book of sci-fi rules that's still being written as we, the audience, become much more self-aware of our relationship with technology, the future, and whatever those two will bring.

Great movie, but I'm not sure it's considered "hard SF." There's no real basis to anchor much of the science in it.

I'd say the same thing about "Sunshine" and "Interstellar".

Some movies I might consider including, in no particular order:

Moon (2009)
2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984)
Silent Running (1972)

Silent Running... what a great, prophetic movie.
