Mars Attacks? Fine. Airplane II, then!
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

Just to make this a not-so Anglo-American centric list, I'll suggest two absolute masterpieces by Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky:
Stalker
Solaris
And if you can manage to see La Jetee, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with the vastly inferior remake (12 Monkeys).

I just tried to watch the '84 Dune...got about five minutes in...wow is it truly horrendous. Dialogue is an absolute horror...can't watch any further.

Though I haven't watched it in a long time I've always liked Silent Running.
danlo mentioned Impostor which I seemed to enjoy more than it's big budget Philip K. Dick counterpart Minority Report.

Never seen Impostor, though I liked MR.
I just forced myself to watch the rest of Dune ('84)...some of the acting is great and the artistic ends of the film-the sets and most of the costumes-were wonderful, the rest was horrendous. My favorite character/part would have to be Paul's sister...love the way they portrayed her!

cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.
