[the last son]

Don't read books

Games: dead space

[redhawk23]

Books: Asimov's Foundation series, Gibson's Neuromancer pulls up a close second. I also highly recommend Glasshouse by Charles Stross.

Games: I'm not a huge gamer or anything, but I'd say Mass Effect has some of the best characters, world building and diversity of species and cultures.

Movies
If it is a cliche to say 2001: A Space Odyssey is one of if not THE best, it is only because it is often stated and pretty much a flat fact.

TV: Either Star Trek, Ghost in the Shell or the first 3 seasons of BSG.

I don't play an overabundance of sci fi games

TV, doctor who, firefly or dollhouse.

[redhawk23]

Altered States is a crazy film.

 

[Erzengel]

[gohei_]

Books: I have only read the Mass Effect novels so I'll go with those.

Games: Kotor and Mass Effect.

Movies: Star Wars, no contest.

TV: I would say Smallville. Though I would put shows like Farscape, Firefly and Space Above and Beyond close behind.

 

[Victarion]

Books: The Cornelius Quartet, Hawkmoon: History of the Runestaff, The City in the Autumn Stars, Relic, Reliquary, The Dragons of Babel.

Films: Aliens, the Riddick series.

Videogames: Dead Space.

Dragons of Babel is really more science-fantasy; you have science fiction technology in a world populated by dragons, elves, dwarves, various fey and mystical beasts. The tone of the story is more in line with cyberpunk. I adore this novel, I can't go on enough about it. Reliquary has human/reptillian monster things running around the subways and old tunnels of NY. The B-plot involves an uprising of the homeless veterans and disenfranchised lower class people. One of those monsters murdered a homeless person. The murder was ignored, and people from the higher social classes even blamed the tunnel dwellers. Very interesting subplot, and the "mole people" do actually exist, according to the authors.

Yeah it's a really interesting and well written story that had me completed invested in the character, and the world evolving around him. (Plus, I love the whole introduction and use of the dog ).

God damn that movie...
