I've got a book called "101 Sci-Fi Movies You Must See Before You Die" 
which stars with "Voyage to the Moon" (1902) through to "Children of 
Men" (2006) ... although it's a 2009 publication, so of course misses 
out any newer movies. You'd be very lucky if there's even a dozen 
movies in there worth watching though.
