Thanks for that link, I will have to check out Stalker.
Agreed, Solyaris is a masterpiece and ranks very high in science fiction movies.
I even liked the remake by Soderbergh, although it was not very well received critically.
Speaking of non-hollywood science fiction, you should watch "Primer"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/
Primer (the best film about time travel ever made imo) was made for 7,000 dollars and is so much better than most films that cost 50 or 100 million dollars (a perfect example is The Sound Of Thunder, also about time travel but totally screwed up from the original Ray Bradbury story)
I also recommend a film called "Moon"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/ which lasted about one week in theaters because there are very few explosions, and a lot of pondering about the nature of existence and identity.
