Colossal.
I have heard decent things about this. But I detest Anne Hathaway so I just can't bring myself to watch it.

The stupid chicken was kinda funny in a stupid way. It must have been fun for the animators to figure out all of his silly antics.

Command and Control. A doc/movie that's been shown as part of the PBS Ametican Experience series. I believe it was nominated last year for a Academy Award in best doc category. It is the best documentary I've personally seen in many a year...

Ok, so I was flying to Europe and back so on 9 hr flight it is perfect opportunity to watch some movies. So I watched " Me before you" - E.Clarke did awesome job but movie was kind of predictable. "Unbreakable" watched it just to find out what kind of connection it had to "Split"... pretty decent movie, I liked it despite numerous people telling me that it sucked. "Manchester by the sea" - great movie, the best of the trip, nothing else to add. "Pompei" - really bad, waste of time. "Passengers" - love SF movies like that even if some of the stuff there was so unrealistic and bizarre. Would prefer a different ending there...

I liked Ghost in a shell.. Never saw the cartoon but Scarlett Jo did a damn good job and the effects are some of the best you'll see..
thats a quality sci-fi flick, for sure. Take it from someone who's waded thru tons of crap in that genre.

Lucky you hadn't seen the original anime so your expectations is probably relatively low.... but fingers crossed it's as good as you said it is. I'll still try to keep my expectation very low though.

Well thats the sort of question where It's pretty much a given that Im gonna regret leaving something out, If you could specify sub-genre's that'd actually make it much easier for me. Here's my attempt at answering that just based on the genre tho. Cuz to me there's stuff that has sci-fi elements but might be clssified as soemthing else. U know the deal. Anyways.
Well Primer is #1, of course.
They Live. (I like John Carpenter films, The Thing is great/underrated as well, Escape from NY)
2001: A Space Odyssey. (A Clockwork Orange, Dr. Strangelove)
I love the Tom Cruise flick Edge of Tomorrow, I'm certain it's way underrated. Based on a novel called "all you need is kill" Which I plan on reading sometime soon. (I also love Vanilla Sky, I think thats really high quality sci-fi, best cameron diaz performance IMO.)

I really like Fire in the sky for an alien flick too. That movie stands out to me because I think it's sequenced perfectly. The Faculty is a good one too. K-Pax, Interstellar, Being John Malkovich, Children of men, Bladerunner, 12 Monkeys,Donnie Darko, Snowpiercer, Ghostbusters, Robocop, Groundhog Day, The prestige, Sunshine, Predators(I like this one conceptually), V for Vendetta, Pitch Black, MEtropolis, I'd say The wizard of Oz. I'm forgetting abunch for sure. I like Tron Legacy. The MArtian. Mars Attacks, I like Godzilla movies one of the newer ones was good had a crazy scene with him destroying the city with his breath. Reign of fire, The Time Machine, The Butterfly effect, Watchmen, Total Recall, Demolition Man, Judge Dredd, Contact.
I'd list the Matrix (and Terminator) but they stole the idea from Sophia Stewart.
I have a lot of other classics and truly old films that I'd list too. I like the invisible man for example. I'm not sure if Jordowski flicks fall into this category, The Holy Mountain. Zardoz is hysterical to me, I love that ****, these directors were definitely doing a lot of acid.
Fantastic Planet is one I'd highly recommend. It's animated but worth seeing for the artwork and music alone.

I'd also recommend the movie Cube...(don't see the sequel tho it's trash)
This list is terribly incomplete but I;ma stop. If u wanna pinpoint subgenres I can keep going.
I've seen a total of one anime series my entire life but I plan on watching some more when I get a chance. Deathnote is amazing. there's a movie in production now, surely that will be on this list. Thats more of a legendary/epic tale. it's more of a psychological thriller than an "anime" there's very little fighting action typa filler.

Sorry was after more space, robots, aliens type films.
You've listed some there I wouldn't mind seeing again. Snowpiercer, Sunshine, Donnie Darko - I still don't understand so need to see that one again. Cube haven't seen for ages, I remembered it being very good. Hated Interstella's ending.
You don't like Prometheous? I'm really looking forward to Alien Covenant that's coming out this week.
Mission to Mars had really good premise, it was getting good, then it suddenly ended. 'Moon' I thought was very well done on a low budget.
