There's Clarke and "2001" of course, but he's the only one I'm sure of. I have a vague recollection that Heinlein did something for "Destination Moon" and that Wells was involved in "Things to Come", but I'm not sure about either. The technical errors in SF movies are so gross and so common that one would think that the producers would hire an author just for verisimilitude. /jlr --------
