Some that I've watched that I think qualifies, depending on how loosely you want to interpret it. Been a while since I watched most of these, so won't fight anyone if they disagree. Also didn't consider comedies or war, horror and very low budget movies as there are so many that fit from those categories.

Don't have Netflix so not sure what's available there, and several might not be wife-friendly. Also I enjoy weird, so YMMV.
I'll add some films that I enjoyed. Some might be flawed, some constrained by their budget etc, but overall I enjoyed watching them. Ordered alphabetical (I hope).
The more mainstream ones:
- Brainstorm (1983)
- Gamer (2009)
- Midnight Special (2016)
- Pandorum (2009)
- Outland (1981)
- Possessor (2020)
The more low budget/indie ones:
- Alien Arrival (2016)
- Chariot (2022)
- The Endless (2018)
- Galaxy of Terror (1981)
- Honeymoon (2014)
- The man with the magic box (2017)
- The Objective (2008)
- Senn (2013)
- The Signal (2014)
- Time Trap (2017)
- Welcome the Stranger (2018)
Not op but I'll throw in some that I've really enjoyed and that made me go "hmmmm", roughly ordered by year
