Not including Star Wars and limiting to one per franchise:
STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES MOONRAKER THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL ALIENS SUPERMAN SOLARIS (2002) CAPRICORN ONE E.T.
"..Bill Carson changes his name to Collossus, the Forbin Project just so he can name it as his number one score and embrace Woolston's rule of irony..."
Not including Star Wars and limiting to one per franchise:
STAR TREK III THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL THE TIME MACHINE (1968) CAPRICORN ONE DAMNATION ALLEY TOTAL RECALL INDEPENDENCE DAY BABYLON 5 OMEGA MAN ST-TOS (I dont count this is as part of the film franchise)
Bonus: Superman the Movie,, Indiana Jones, Journey to the Far Side of The Sun, Colossus the Forbin Project, POTA (1968)
That's a tough one. Let me see if I can come up with a quick list...
1. "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (Horner) 2. "Star Trek: Generations" (Dennis McCarthy) 3. "Star Wars: A New Hope" (black turtleneck) 4. "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" (Goldsmith) 5. "Back to the Future" (Silvestri) 6. "E.T." (Return of the Turtleneck) 7. "Superman: The [only good Sup's] Movie" (Williams) 8. "Predator" (Silvestri) 9. "Signs" (J.N.H.) 10. "The Omega Man" (Ron Grainer)
Unfortunately "Robocop" is a little too disjointed a listen to make the list.
"Capricorn One" -- I've never seen it, but my understanding is that astronauts are hunted down after NASA fakes a landing (Mars?), so while the events are not real, I just can't lump it into science fiction.
I think Paul Gilreath's unreleased score to "Making Contact" was for a sort of science fiction film.
