Although, "Brimstone" was not specifically sci-fi, I really dug the concept and loved Glover's portrayal of 'Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Father of Lies, The Dark Prince...the Devil you ninnies!' Not to mention the show was just getting really good when they canned it.

Re: Brimstone. Gee, that sounds like a familiar story. Wasn't that show originally aired on Fox? 
In response to the previous note, the directors cut of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" was quite superior. It seems a shame to leave that off the list, but include "The Search for Spock." Eh.

Best SciFi Ever:
TV Based
(1) Sapphire and Steel (David McCallum and Joannah Lumley) - creepy time travel / supernatural chiller series.
(2) Firefly - obviously.
(3) Babylon 5 - equally obviously.
(4) Doctor Who - not for the sets (which were a running joke) but for the variety of story styles attempted and managed.
(5) UFO - inventive, daring and Gerry Anderson's vehicles.
Film based
(1) Metropolis - agree with all the comments above.
(2) Star Trek: First Contact - Entertaining, not too many plot holes, and stunning visual effects which helped to tell the story rather than existing for their own sake.
(3) Star Wars: A New Hope - makes you wonder why Lucas bothered trying to fill in the back story.
(4) Bicentennial Man - not the same as the book, but Robin Williams made this one watchable as a story in it's own right.
Book Based:
(1) Vorkosigan set by Lois McMaster Bujold.
(2) Honor Harrington set by David Weber.
(3) Dragon's Egg by Robert L. Forward.
