Being a pedant I would question - if SF is about probable impact of science and technology on our society and us ourselves - whether all those films are really SF.  Star Wars sure isn't SF (sorry Darth) but some of those fall more into the 'kinda' that really.

TBH Terminator 2 is probably way too high, Star Wars shouldn't even be in a list like this and Wrath of Khan (much as I love it - KHAAAAAAN etc - ) probably shouldn't be either.

Top 2 are spot on although arguably 2001 should be top but I love them both so much who cares around 1/2.  But Moon, etc. are all far better, more specific SF films than say Terminator 2, which is more of a fan favourite (a favourite of mine, too, but not that high against real, hard SF films).

Lists, eh, you can never agree with them!

EDIT: speaking of which, as others have said films like Gattaca should be on that list instead of Terminator, etc.

It's also a critical favorite. And so are Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. All those three movies were among the highest ranked films on Rottentomatoes.com's list of great sci-fi films (based on reviews from professional film critics) and on AFI's top 10 best sci-fi films.
