“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)

WALL-E had serious plot holes. They don't detract from it being a wonderful story, but they would keep it from being better than other Sci-Fi stories.
Bigger plot holes than some crazy robots using humans to create energy?
You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
Maybe I'm getting Sci Fi crossed with other genres but I would place the following in the running before any Star Ways ('cept ESP) and I wouldn't have X-Men on my list at all, though I love them.
Tron
Starman
Bicentennial Man
Starship Troopers
D.A.R.Y.L.
Lawnmower Man
The Last Starfighter
12 Monkeys (not A Clockwork Orange or Brazil, though I like them both)
Contact; not even in my top 30
The Fifth Element however it would probably around 20 in my top 30.
My top 3?
Dune
Pitch Black
Independence Day
probably
Though I tell you that X-men would be hard press to make it. Not that I didn't like it, but I just didn't see it as "classic". Marvel rocks, but not that way.
How can I forget TRON --FTW!!!! That was a deeply flawed yet totally groundbreaking movie experience. A unique vision.
BTW, my list was very quickly composed and was really just a bunch of titles I enjoyed that weren't in the OP. I tend to like things with a sense of humor, especially dark humor. Or just totally noir. So for me, Brazil is a slam-dunk. Same for A Clockwork Orange.
I have a weird fascination with A Scanner Darkly. Really disliked it at first, then just got sucked into it. I look for it on cable.
I was going to include Mad Max and Road Warrior, but those are post-apoc visions with no "science" in the fiction. I deliberately left off all Star Trek movies. I think of them as TV shows. In fact, it seems that a lot of my favorite sci-fi is episodic TV.
