Crank
A hitman who wants out is injected with a drug that will kill him if he doesn't keep his adrenaline levels at full throttle. Hugely entertaining and quite funny in parts, a bit Tarentino-esque.

Gravity
Superb. Ultra realistic about gravity, weightlessness and the lack of air, one of few films to do so since 2001. Also shares with that film just two main characters. Simple story, brilliantly executed. If you don't find yourself sipping your breath economically in parts, you're not human.
Just go and see it.

Currently re-watching 'Edge of Darkness' on DVD. One of the best TV series ever made.

Yeah, I like that too.
I also love 'The Chronicles of Riddick' which many slate, but is another futuristic spectacle with a great story and fantastic effects.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
Another excellent sci-fi sleeper is Dark City starring Kiefer Sutherland

Yes, another goodie (with a touch of Eraserhead about it)!Originally Posted by synsei

+1, though didn't think much of the second Riddick film.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Proper Star Trek: The episode in which Spock goes on heat and has to be taken back to Vulcan for a shag or he will die. In the event a fight to the death with Kirk sorts him out. Also features T'Pau, who later went on to form a pop band in the 'eighties.
A much better show than 'the Next Generation', much less soul-searching. Losing a few security guards on a mission was par for the course and in no way precluded a bit of banter and piss-taking when safely back on the bridge of the Enterprise after it was all over.
