  As usual with such lists, only about two or three are actually worth
watching, the rest are over-hyped garbage and boring drivel.

 I'd add  the first "War of the Worlds" and "Aniara"

I've got a book called "101 Sci-Fi Movies You Must See Before You Die" which stars with "Voyage to the Moon" (1902) through to "Children of Men" (2006) ... although it's a 2009 publication, so of course misses out any newer movies. You'd be very lucky if there's even a dozen movies in there worth watching though.
