Cool added Coherence.

Also added Synchronicity - a mind bending movie which I think justifiably fits in this thread. Must watch!

How can you miss '10 Cloverfield Lane' next in Cloverfield series. Really Good movie.

Divergent Series started good, but the successor movies were crap.

Another to Add: Maze Runner series, especially the first part was amazing, second part Scorch Trials was ok ok.

Children of Men already added by you is considered generally as Best sci-fi of the 21st Centuary! Its really an amazing movie, must watch for all

Not sure if Rashomon is added here but the 1950 flick by one of the all time greatest directors Akira Kurosawa is a gem. I believe it was way ahead of its time. If anyone hasn't watched it yet they should.

Pitch Black. The Chronicles of Riddick. Riddick.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 and 2.

Are you serious with The Chronicles of Riddick & Guardians of the Galaxy series? Pitch Black & Under the skin are good.

To me, The Chronicles of Riddick is awesome, and the Guardians of the Galaxy series is also good. The thread is about adding Sci-Fi movies, so I named them.

The OP says on the previous page, and in his first post, in the PS, that while he did add the words intellectually inspiring and though provoking to the title, he doesn't mind if people add any sci-fi movie to the thread.

Another one: Starship Troopers (1997).

There is a film the name of which I don't remember; it is set in a desert in which there are only two characters, one human and one alien, and throughout most of the movie, they search for and try to kill the other. This is a low budget movie, and doesn't have much action, and if I remember correctly, doesn't have a very high rating on imdb, but many people really liked it.

Enemy Mine (1985) - IMDb

Chronicles of Riddick & Guardian of the Galaxy are entertaining but certainly not intellectual,inspiring,thought provoking or mind boggling which is the title of this thread.Just add a note saying for entertainment factor as this would help distinguish these movies from various other movies here which really do justice to this thread's title.

I think better get rid of the adjectives and rename thread title as Sci fi movies thread.

Added - Enemy Mine
