A satellite brings back a deadly pathogen which scientists desperately try to figure out a cure for.
It's got that oldie feeling, but with enough of a timeless element to make it really riveting.
This inspired The Andromeda Strain - (2008 show)

Murders lead an ex-almost-priest-turned-detective to discover a supernatural gang war.
It's mellow and interesting.

The found footage of the travel to, and exploration of, one of the moons of Jupiter in the search for extraterrestrial life.
It's slow and focused, with a consistent and weighty tone. If you like it within the first fifteen minutes, you'll like the rest of it.

Alien refugees come to Earth, only to become squatters and criminals while the world looks on. After 20 years, the local government tries to relocate them to better facilities only to discover alien technologies they had been salvaging and repairing.
A unique setting and good story. It's not a super-fantastic movie, but it's definitely highly recommended. It has a high "ick" factor.

A superpower is granted to three boys, but their significant differences impact its development in them. Or something.
I find it tense and riveting. It also sends a philosopher! (sort of)

Harry Potter works to chip away at Voldermort's base of power, while Voldermort's army holds a tight grip on the whole of the wizarding world.
Worthy of a three-part episode in a TV series. Bad writing.

The magical world cowers in fear as it's recruited or picked off by Voldemort's forces.
This rides on the successes of its predecessors while technically going nowhere itself. The writing is far better, but it's an episode. You can really feel how much this movie is milking the franchise.
