Primer is one the better mind-fucking sci-fi movies.

Another vote for Predestination. That's really a WTF film!

How about Dark City but I can't stress enough the importance of the directors cut. The theatrical release had a studio imposed opening narrative that spoils most of the movies surprises!

Couple good ones on that list, but over all not what I would choose to highlight. Other comments are mentioning some of them.. one I haven't seen mentioned...Event Horizon anyone? Maybe too horror for some but it is definitely sci-fi and so damn good.
