The main reason I like SF (movies) is they explore intriguing ideas. HN has had a number of threads about favorite SF movies, but they tend to repeat the same movies. And some topics are very repetitive, for instance it's hard to find a time-travel movie which does not show the grandfather paradox.
In this post, we can take advantage of threaded nature of HN and create a list of most interesting SF movies by topic. -----------
Rules:
1. Top-level comments are for topics ONLY. I suggest not to upvote any of them, my intent is not karma fishing.
2. Only mention individual movies in comments of 2nd level and later. (index 1 when starting from index 0)
3. For each movie, try to write a single sentence describing why this movie shows an interesting angle.
EDIT: go ahead and create a category if a movie focuses on a different theme!

You can search for your own topics of interest. If you want movie recommendations, it seems more sensible to browse through the site for movie buffs, not the one for engineers.
