In addition to some of the ones already mentioned, I'd say Starship Troopers, Jurassic Park, Hugo, the 40s version of Fountainhead.
I know you didn't put a Michael Crichton book on your list...right?

Yeah, I'm not going to feel crazy thinking an era-defining film is better than the good Crichton book it's based on.
Maybe I don't hold Crichton in as high an esteem as others. Eaters of the Dead is a fascinating idea for a book, but I don't think it's very good. Its film adaptation, The 13th Warrior, is also better than the book.
