I'm more books than movies with SF, I have to say. I don't think most SF movies really do much with what I love about SF: testing and probing the boundaries of what we think human beings are and can be.
Arrival is an excellent case study of that. The novella is brilliant. But I avoided it for a long time because I had seen the movie.
Claire Denis's High Life from a year or two back was excellent, though it's rough going sometimes.

Ikarie XB-1 - Really fascinating B&W outer space epic from Chechoslovakia from 1963. I like to think that Kubrick watched this one and "Quatermass and the Pit" before cooking up "2001." Subtitles are OK, right?
Creation of the Humanoids - Tensions rise as androids are more closely incorporated into human society because of declining birth rates. VERY slow and EXTREMELY talky, BUT it has more ideas and plot points than any other five SF movies. Great makeup from Hollywood pro Jack Pierce (created the original Frankenstein makeup) and great cinematography by Oscar-winner Hal Mohr, with rich, saturated color. Did Philip K. Dick see this before writing "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"?

I mean, what is not to absolutely love?
Beneath the Rising (Premee Mohamed) is a great novel of sort of decolonizing a Lovecraftian horror/SF story. Really fun and honest.
The Breath of the Sun by Rachel/Isaac (my copy says Rachel) Fellman is a heartbreaking SF book about mountains.
Ann Leckie's Justice trilogy is the best kind of space opera.
Everyone on the Moon Is Essential Personnel by Julian K. Jarboe is a book of super-sharp working-class-conscious short stories.
The Breach, by M. T. Hill is maybe the best first contact novel I've ever read.
They Will Drown in Their Mothers' Tears is time-travel SF set against the backdrop of Eurocentrist horror. A hard book but excellent.
This Is How You Lose the Time War is a time-travel, antiwar love story that has some of the most lovely writing I have seen in a loooooong time.
You know, if there's a list being compiled.

Oh, the previously mentioned Cathereynne M. Valente has another excellent book (that I've read; she has a lot of books!) called Radiance: space whale oppression, movie crews, and hallucinatory vaudeville.
Oh, crap, and Claire Vaye Watkins, Gold Fame Citrus! It's "cli-fi," but it's just unbelievably well done.

My pleasure, Sheila.
And THANKS! This was both far out and down to Earth -- the best kind of SF: interrogating the reaches of human achievement to say "yes? where have you been? and where can you go?"

Not a fan, though, of most other no-effects psychological sci-fi-fi - Hal’s has heart and depth, but most are basically boring near-mumblecore films.
