Star Wars is not really sci-fi.... so it gets kinda tricky to chose. BTTF is a good one, but I think Twelve Monkeys ranks high, as well as 2001.

the term sci-fi can mean different things to different people.
I agree that star wars is not a sci-fi it is a sci-fi fantasy
but tweleve monkies definatly is not a sci-fi
i guess for me sci-fi for the most part has to take place in space
BTTF i wouldn't classify that as sci-fi that is just an adventure.
how in the hell is shawshank redemtion and LOTR a sci-fi?

Blade Runner takes place on earth. Lost out on your own definition there. If that's sci-fi then so is 12 monkeys.
Sci-fi is basically a futuristic view of how technology influences people in x years from now. 12 monkeys, terminator, BTTF in a way, Matrix .... they all fit that description. They're all sci-fi.
SW is a fairy tale, a space fantasy but hardly sci-fi.

That's not the definition of sci-fi. Science fiction can take place in an ancient time with ancient technology. Sci-fi is the aspect of a story that is related to some form of technology not present in real world history. A sci fi story can deal with the origin of Egyptian hieroglyphics being alien. Star Wars is sci -fi because it's based on a universe largely dependent on advanced technology. It's not by any means hard science fiction, but it's sci-fi nonetheless.

Star Wars hardly deals with the effect of technology on people however, which is to me, the fallible criteria in which to categorise Science Fiction.
