Honestly, there is precious little genuine hard SF in the visual media. Of those you've listed, I'd only classify 2001, Contact (from what I understand; I've never seen it), and maybe Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex as being hard SF. Not that most of the others don't have something to offer to a THS campaign, they're just not what I'd call hard SF.
Contact?!
After watching that drek, I feel the very poor taste urge to disinter Carl Sagan and kick him in the rocky mountain oysters.
