A machine that erases your mind over anything you can imagine. You don't have to have spaceships and robots for it to be sci-fi. Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind is certainly sci-fi.

What the hell is wrong with Independence Day?!? It's the second best movie named after a holiday behind Halloween.

It's not Groundhog Day, Born on the Fourth of July or A Christmas Story for starters.

1) The fact that Roland Emmerich directed
2) It really gave Will Smith a superstar career
3) The president flying a jet when he should be doing something else, like leading his nation
4) The fact that the aliens used Macs
5) The fact that mankind is doomed, because those aliens aren't all dead and still have far superior technology to easily wipe the floors with us.
6) Big explosion in tunnel somehow can't turn slightly left to engulf a girl, woman, and dog
7) The characters are incredibly two dimensional and stereotypical.
8) Will Smith punching an alien in the fricking face.

I feel like any list that doesn't have the first Alien in the list is completely wrong.
Easily one of my top 3 SciFi movies. And it's not really that close.

Not science fiction
Correct. It may be action/adventure . . . even a western or knights of the roundtable . . . but it's not really science fiction.
In no particular order:
Gattaca
Alien series
Bladerunner
Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (original)
2001
Several more I could name.
Three more gems from the 1950's that everyone should see at least once:
It! The Terror from Beyond Space
This Island Earth
Forbidden Planet

I get the difference that Star Wars is technically Science Fantasy, but can it really not be classified as Science Fiction? Yeah it doesn't really go into detail on the scientific parts of it that Eternal Sunshine, 2001, or Star Trek gets into, and yeah its quite a bit more fantastical than those titles, but I think it would still meet the basic requirements of science fiction and fantasy. You can be in more than one genre at once the way I look at it.

1. The Thing (1982)
2. Stalker
3. 2001: A Space Odyssey
4. Blade Runner
5. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1974)
Just missing: Alien, Gattacca, Metropolis, Brazil, Minority Report, 12 Monkeys, The Matrix (credit where credit is due)

Of course Star Wars can be classified as science fiction. It meets the criteria of having elements not fully accepted by mainstream science. Unless the existence of alien honky tonks, or even the existence of alien races in general, is being taught in classrooms these days.
Its science fiction by all definitions applied to the genre.

How can it be argued otherwise? It takes place in worlds that don't exist using science and technologies that don't exist. Its the very definition of science fiction.
The difference between the worlds in Star Wars and our own is science and technology based. It would have to be magic based to be fantasy.
"A science fiction story must be set against a society significantly different from our own -- usually, but not necessarily, because of some change in the level of science and technology -- or it is not a science fiction story"
Issac Asimov

I picked my five earlier but I watched Cowboys and Aliens last night and I am adding that to the list.

Star Wars (part IV) yes it is Science Fiction and a remake of The Hidden Fortress.
Terminator 1984
The Day the Earth Stood Still 1951
War Of the Worlds 1953
Forbidden Planet 1956
Others that could be in the top 5:
Blade Runner:
Yes there are 6 versions of this film, I have seen them all and the orginal maybe the best, with the version were Rutger Hauer as the main character being the second best.
Dune:
The long version, not the junk we had to sit through at the theater.
Planet of the Apes:
"Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!"
Avatar:
Best 3D movie every made.

That is really all that needs to be said here.
And while on the subjects of SciFi and Emmershit, I read that he will be bringing Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy to the big screen.
