I'd say: hands down, Firefly.
But that's just my opinion.
Mine too! I love me some Firefly!

I'm a bit surprised to see nobody has mentioned Starship Troopers. While the movie left a lot to be desired, what remains of the social issues brought up in the book is interesting.
Was that the one where stuff (cars, people) spontaneously flew up into the air because of 'gravity anomalies' caused by the brown dwarf chunk?Did any body saw Impact. Not Deep Impact, just Impact. I was a TV series released in 2008/2009
It could also be a very good movie, but they screw it up with very bad science.
It was about a piece of a brown dwarf hitting the moon and altered it mass..........putting it on a collision course with Earth. As I say, it have very bad science it it. The script writers had some very good ideas though.

The film was nominated the most watchable bad movie by Entertainment Weekly.
'Starship Troopers' is brilliant; if reviewers think it's a bad movie then I think they missed the point. However, it's a satire on US militarism, and hence has little to do with SF.
Also it has a lot of beef with modern consumerism...still it IMHO missed the point of the novel.

Basically it's meant to be a 'Green Berets'-style gung-ho recruiting film for a future fascist militarist state, but you're always taking a big chance when you deliberately make a movie look bad.
It is not the typical Heinlein concept there, "Moon is a Harsh Mistress" is better in that topic.
The sharp contrast between Starship troopers and "Moon is a harsh mistress" actually made me think about the possibility that Heinlein wasn't neccessarily advertising his opinions in the novel, but just making up hypothetical societies he might or might not agree with (a lot of authors keep their personal opinion on ethics out of their stories).
to O-F.No one mentioned "Sunshine". The story is ridiculous but special effects are quite good. I'd also recommend "Space Odyssey: Voyage to the planets". It's not exactly sci-fi movie but definitely worth to see.
