Brazil is good I think
not seen it in ages, but found it m=by the road side recently on VHS along with nearly all of Twin Peaks and it's on my pile to watch.

If you're only looking for Sci Fi I think I'll duck out of recommendations as with the exception of classics like Alien, there's a bit of a shortage of good SCi fi on screen IMNSHO.

i agree
film sci fi is always miles behind books. Everyone was all OMG! at matrix, even though cyberpunk in literature had been around for ages.

also they almost always cut out the intelligence, which is the best bit and leave in the action and other big-movie-shit. I went to see Source Code recently and was nearly physically ill there were dso many plot holes and I went with prety low expectations, and that has god some really quite good reviews.

they usually miss the point of sci fi and just go
Hey! Guns! Woo! Kill the Red Menace!
