I'll just mention a couple I haven't seen listed yet.
Cleopatra 2525 Hot babes in skimpy outfits kicking ass and saving the day! 
Space Truckers A space trucker (Dennis Hopper) takes a break from hauling square pigs to save planet Earth. (Just don't take it seriously.)

Are you serious, or did you mean to refer to 4+5 only? 'Cause that would make more sense.
In the order they came out, darling. I refuse to acknowledge the prequel gou shi.
1. Star Wars
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Return of the Jedi (started out as Revenge of the Jedi, but....) -- I just didn't think this was as good. Maybe it's the Ewok party....
There was no 4 and 5 (which were in chronilogical order 1 and 2, but they are in fact th 4th and 5th movies). And 6 is also dead to me.
I can count, and you can't relabel history just because it those movies are prequels -- they still come AFTER the original trilogy.

Most of what I like has already been mentioned.
TV (not completely in order of preference):
Firefly
first couple of seasons of Bab5
Space above and beyond
V the mini series and the first five or so episodes of the tv series
Seaquest DSV
Earth 2
Farscape where aliens steal the show from the humans. Love Scorpy.
Stargate SG1: comedy disguised as military SF. Especially seasons three and four are great. Can't wait till Atlantis hits DVD.
Star Trek The Next Generation and Deep Space 9. Don't like Voyager (I hate Neelix) and haven't seen Enterprise yet.
First season of Earth, Final Conflict.
Doctor Who. Creeped me out as a kid.
I lost several of the longer running series like Buffy/Angel and X-files, because the local networks kept switching them from channel to channel and timeslot to timeslot. But I'm trying to catch up again since I really like them.
Movies:
Alien, Aliens, and Alien Resurrection. Don't like the third. Alien Resurrection I watch as a comedy, though. Don't know if it was intentional but it makes me laugh while one and two creep me out.
Even Horizon, although it coulda been more creepifying still.
Galaxy Quest
Mars Attacks!
Spaceballs (I guess I like to take things not seriously)
Star Wars episodes IV, V and VI with V being the best of all
Men in Black I and II
The Iron Giant
Starship Troopers (again, it's over the top so it becomes funny again).
Spacetruckers (hilarious)
Pitch Black
Matrix I. I love the story of the entire trilogy. It's just that some scenes in the second movie took waaaaay to long to keep my interest in the story. Haven't seen III yet, but I am going to buy the box when it comes out. So I can fastforward the non-essential bits and get back to the story.
Split Second. Hands up if you seen it.

Well, they weren't relabed. ESB has been "Episode 5" ever since it came out. And ANH was relabeled "Episode 4" over a decade before the Special Editions, much less the prequels, were made.

The mixing of cell animation with computer animation that was bad about Titan AE. you can get some great looking movies mixing media together, look at the animated Lord of the Rings movie, you have a mix of 2d cell animation and live action film that had been altered with photographic effects.
What I found to be badly done with Titan AE's animation was that the voice actors voices at time was not in sync with the animation. You'd have a character talking but the animation wan't there showing the mouth moving. It gave be a feel that the movie was rushed to get out.

True, but you will note that i didn't use the episode titles in my list as part of the point. I numbered them in order using arabic numerals as 1. and 2. I did not I and II. As to my statement, well...I was ranting.
But it is still true that "episode IV" is movie number 1, n'est-pas? The whole point is that I reject that number system because the first prequel was trash. I haven't seen the other and won't see the last. They are dead to me.Really, I'm just a trouble maker...but then, hey...I didn't create Jar-jar.

^I get that. Its just that if you say "Star Wars 1", most people are going to think you mean episode I. Its all for the sake of clarity, really.
Myself, I don't *hate* TPM and AOTC, but I don't really like them either. I enjoy ROTJ though, for the pure nostalgia value. Mostly, I tend to think of SW in terms of the novels these days.

[Roswell Conspiracies: (None of you have probably heard of this little-known cartoon from a few years back, but it's awesome. It runs like a mix of Buffy meets X-Files in the Men in Black universe, with just a little M.A.S.K. thrown in. --And the male lead looks like an animated David Boreanaz, complete with "hair that goes straight up." 
)
YAAAY!
Finally I've found someone else who's watched the show!
I loved ever minute of it and fell in love with almost each and every character!( Yes, I'm a fickle creature). Alas the network showing the series pulled it out after only six or seven episodes. Do you have any idea how it ended and what happened to all the lead characters?
(WITH INTRICATE DETAILS)
The truth will set you free...
But first it'll piss you off.
