- A wonderful story. If you're going to nick an idea then nick it from the best
Moon (2009)
- From the son of the bloke that gave us Space Oddity
The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)
- Klaatu barada nikto
District 9 (2009)
- A beautiful redemption story
Dark Star (1974)
- They wanted to make a horror movie but they made a comedy instead.. with horrific bits
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
- You know. Wheel stations. Turning whilst docking. The Blue Danube

- Space is terrifying. This showed that fear before Gravity did.
Contact (1997)
- Written by Carl Sagan
Silent Running (1972)
- One of Mark Kermode's favourites. How can you not love Huey Duey and Louie
Outland (1981)

The Andromeda Strain (1971)
- A different slant on the Alien Invasion theme

+1 for these, some of my favorites that I was going to post, but happily ninja'd. <Tips hat!>
Don't think anybody's mentioned 'Sphere' yet... or 'The Abyss...'
They are set in the deep rather than in deep space, but still worth your time.
