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)

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 movie about an audience watching the narration of a movie about a newly-engaged couple's car breaking and them going to to get to a phone but instead doing a musical.

Agencies the world 'round borrow from Nazi experiments to create limited super soldiers, and Steve Rogers Nick Gant is swept up into a conspiracy for American conscripts to free themselves.
Pretty straightforward and interesting; recommended. It unfortunately doesn't tie itself up neatly.

Failed-scientists begin a ghost capturing service, and the need for their services grows, threatening all of New York city.
I don't have a lot of movies anything like this which I could consider listing as mandatory, so this one gets in pretty easily.

Americans overreact to a misunderstanding and go on a genocidal warpath across the globe and are somehow winning except for a superweapon of peace.
It does its best, but it doesn't do enough world building, character building, or anything really. While it isn't a waste of time, I wouldn't recommend it.

A disabled person is welcomed into a community which turns on him after a series of misunderstandings.
Pretty wholesome, although it stops making sense nearing the end. A good enough watch.

Researchers of a small particle accelerator discover that a particle can be sent back in time, and they theorize that it can be used like a gun to kill people in the past and change the present.
While it's a good idea, it feels pretty low effort.
