Please give me at least three options and if you have a youtube video of the trailer all the better. Links to rotten tomato is great too.

You may have seen it, but "Children of Men" is my favorite sci-fi film in recent memory. I also think Spielberg's "Minority Report" from a few years back is seriously underrated. Great action, cool effects, interesting social commentary about the pervasiveness of modern advertising and a surprisingly grim view of humanity's potential from the guy who made "ET" and "Close Encounters."

Oh, and Linklater's "Scanner Darkly" is quite thought-provoking, beautifully animated and super-trippy. "Donnie Darko" also brilliantly toes the line between comedy, sci-fi, horror and coming-of-age drama. "Dark City" is just a brilliant film, picking up future noir where "Blade Runner" left off. Like "The Matrix," only better.

If you'd like something older, Godard's "Alphaville" is one of my favorites.

Try Solaris, either the Tarkovsky original or the Soderbergh remake. It's pretty heady. If you want even more cerebral, try Tarkovsky's Stalker. It'll twist your brain (they even based a video game on it!)

I'd go for the Tarkovsky "Solaris" over the Soderbergh. Soderbergh's version isn't bad, per se, but it feels a bit more on the nose. The icy remove that makes the original so involving and other-worldly feels like more of a pretense in the remake. And I think George Clooney is under-playing to the point of getting lost. He's not being subtle; he's just not really bothering to act. "Stalker" is also highly weird and brilliant.
