There are a lot of great movies that could move in or out of my top 5-10 but I think I would probably always include
2001
Contact
Terminator
I like Minority Report and Gattacca for making pretty good use of what I think of as the classic formula for science fiction (how does revolutionary technology change the society? - btw excepting the obvious reasons why not this would mean a movie about a future Eli Whitney and the cotton gin would have made a helluva science fiction movie in 1800)
Regarding the Star Wars science fiction or fantasy debate I would say the originally trilogy was really more of a science fantasy take on traditional myths... but that opinion will probably inspire howls of outrage from people who are firmly in the science fiction or fantasy camps. And I think the example of seeing a unicorn in either star wars or star trek would have an easy out - if explained it would presumably be explained as a "novel" lifeform from another planet or an engineered organism
