Poll: What is the best science fiction movie ever made?

I like Blade Runner. I think it's a hell of a film. But the best? I'm not sure... I think maybe Aliens was the best sci-fi film ever made. But I'm not a scientist.

What are the criteria?

From a cinematographic standpoint, 2001

From a story standpoint, probably BladeRunner, because it's closest to a scifi story (what about Face/Off, btw?)

From an effects standpoint, they keep topping eachother, StarWars, Empire, T2, Matrix. Has an action movie in the last 5 years been released that hasn't borrowed significantly from the effects used in the Matrix?
