Nothing I've seen recently tops "Serenity", the original Star Wars Tilogy comes close, "Blade Runner" comes in a close second to the original Star Wars Trilogy. But honestly "Serenity" was the best movie I have been able to see in theaters since I've been old enough to go.

What, nobody thinks Alien Resurrection was the pinnacle of Whedon's screen-writing?
I can't think of any that are really better, but I'm quite fond of Red Planet and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, as well as some old favorites already named by others.

It takes a village to raise a child, and an army to raze a village.

Before I saw the other responses, my first thought was Blade Runner. After that, the original Star Wars.
I'm a big fan of Star Trek (the whole franchise) but I like Firefly better. I don't think I would have liked it (Firefly) as much tho, if it hadn't been for ST, as FF is gritty, real, something I can identify more w/ (characters/plots and such...part of Joss's vision, as it turns out). If it hadn't been for ST tho, the sterile and mighty federation (FF being verymuch anti-gov), I'm not sure if I would have liked it as much.

hmmm
In all honesty I don't feel there's been a more complete 'Sci-fi' film than SERENITY.
Joss just about weaved the most well rounded 'world' of characters and back story to make his vision of 'a' future as believable as possible, and furthers it to make it extremely entertaining.
However there are close contenders.
TRON For being just so visionary when it was released and for just being about the most unique looking film ever!

I LOVE the alternate ending- it should have been in the film itself!
And the FX are cool!
It's definitly in my top 20!

Will no one give a shoutout to Dark City?
Then I must. Dark City FLOORED me when I saw it in the theater. I honestly forgot I existed for awhile.

There's a moment in the movie- you know the one I mean- where I thought I was on a weird, drug induced trip....
Alex Proyas hit two homeruns in a row with The Crow and Dark City.

Not only was it on your list but you also gave props to the 5th Element, the liking of which is the first requirement for true sentience.

Why has no one mentioned Galaxy Quest?
