I was watching the previews for Transformers yesterday and saw one that caught my eye - something by the same director as Men in Black and Independence Day. It seemed decent enough - end of the world, big boats, fighting for survival. I'm not a movie buff or stellar at remembering titles, so that's all I can say about that. 2012 perhaps?
 
Still need to see primer... damn.

+1 for the "surprise boobs" icon... but what would it look like?

Check out 'The Man From Earth'... The Man from Earth (2007)

It's a very simple movie about a guy who suddenly quits his job to move away, so his colleagues visit him for a little going away party and keep asking him why he is moving away. He tells them that he is in fact a 14,000 year old immortal, and he must move on every 10 years otherwise people start to notice he doesn't age. The whole movie is basically him and his colleagues in a room questioning him about his past, trying to disprove what he is saying and him explaining it away. Its a fucken fantastic movie in my opinion... top notch sci fi. Way better than the bullshit you see at the cinemas.

I'm a sci-fi / horror buff myself and off the top of my head, here are some good ones;

Sunshine (a space-sci-fi movie definitely worth checking out), and The Illusionist (some wouldn't call it sci-fi perhaps but you will know what I mean after seeing it) ;)

yep sunshine definately was good. i also watched the illusionist - if you liked it and than you should definately watch The Prestige (which i think was even better than the illusionist)

I just watched that. Great fucking movie!! I don't know a lot of people that would appreciate it so I will most likely keep it to myself.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions!

I've seen a lot of the ones mentioned and they are all really good movies... maybe about half listed I've seen. I've got a good list now though!

Not sure it's considered sci-fi, but have you guys seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? That's a pretty awesome movie too.

There's a couple of ones coming out that I'm looking forward to, District 9 mentioned by CygnusX. I definitely checkout Primer. I always like those ones that you have to watch a few times to get and you think about for days. Another mind fuck movie is "The Fountain", by Darren Aronofsky. He did Pi, Requiem for a Dream, etc.

Check out the trailer for "9". Looks pretty badass.

Apple - Trailers - 9

Since I can't edit my post, here's the last boob shot again...lol
