Don't know a lot foreign sci-fis(it's expensive). Only the 5th element springs to mind, but that's lame.

Some 50s sci-fis are pretty amusing, like War of the Worlds.

Some fun, but not at all great sci-fis, if you like 80s movies in a way are: Tron, Last Starfighter and War Games.

Some find Starship Troopers a great movie, I don't.

And then there are films like the Cube and early Cronenberg movies where you can argue whether it's a horror or a sci-fi flick.

Cronenberg's Existenz is pretty good, too, and that's sci-fi, undoubtedly.
