Favorite Unusual Sci Fi Films

I'm a pretty big fan of the genre. Of course I like Star Trek, Star Wars, Planet of the Apes etc... But I wanted to get input from everyone about a favorite science fiction/fantasy film that is more obscure yet still good. What got me going was I just saw a strange film called "Avalon." At first it was dull but then the combination of eerie photography and awesome music pulled me in. Overall I found it excellent! Does anybody out there have a favorite obscure sci fi film they can recommend to me?

The Day The Earth Stood Still 😉

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Earth_Stood_Still

Lifeforce - hokey and very cheesy in places, but the scenes with the vampires and the spaceship are mesmerizing. The best sci-film by some margin is still The Andromeda Strain, though.

Silent Running.
Logan's Run (well, i liked it back then).
Outland
Time Bandits
Soylent Green
The Omega Man
