Most of these movies contain elements of 'sci-fi' but should hardly be labeled as science-fiction films. Spotless Mind, Never Let Me Go, Vanilly Sky; these are all dramas with a tinge of sci-fi.

Still sci-fi to me, buddy, the science-fiction elements are all key parts to the film, and not just a tinge.

Yeah I guess that one may be pushing it. I'll add V for Vendetta.

They all qualify as science fiction and you will find them in reference books on the genre. Just Lost Highway doesn't fit. There is no science involved, it's a film about a psychogenic fugue state.
