Gattaca
Film by Andrew Niccol (who also did The Truman Show). Beautiful science fiction film where you feel that the scifi elements are incidental and the true story is about love and the human spirit. But it wouldn’t work without the scifi. Very well and intelligently written, offering an intriguing view of the world

daleks
Created by Terry Nation in 1963 for BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who, a perrenial favourite among fans, always keen to see them make a return to the screen.
Genesis of the Daleks showing the creation of the creatures by the evil megalomaniac Kaled scientist Davros was voted the best ever Doctor Who story.
