Addendum:
Rationalization?
I'm not a great movie person. I don't keep a lot of movie titles in my head. I rarely watch movies. I do like Sci Fi but I'm very picky. There's a lot of trash in the genre.
Though I do fondly remember the TV series LOST IN SPACE & MY FAVORITE MARTIAN.
I don't think I ever did watch that one about the bloke alone on Mars.
I did like the one about the huge artificial enclosed environment above the earth. Elysium?
I enjoyed some of Edgar R Burroughs' 'Mars books.'
And STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND
And, ENDER'S GAME series
I vaguely recall that there's a bunch of dystopian society movies--a few of which I watched. I find them usually pretty dreary. Not a favorite use of my time.
Anyway--that's about all that's off the top of my head currently.

None

Yeah, I tend to think that most movies/TV series that touch on these ideas contain misdirections... plausible-sounding ideas that actually point down the wrong path, or direct people away from the "right" path. :shrug:

Warning From Space.
Starfish-like aliens disguised as humans travel to Earth to warn of the imminent collision of a rogue planet and Earth. As the planet rapidly accelerates toward Earth, a nuclear device is created at the last minute and destroys the approaching world.
Those Starfish dudes are still hereon earth.

@Quix
Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The only 'fact' Hollywood changed was the location. It happened at an Air Force Base...not a desert.
THREE TIMES!
President Eisenhower met with them, and the result was a signed 'Treaty'.

THANKS.
Will be interesting to eventually see what's accurate & what's disinformation.

LOLOLOL.
THANKS. Though, actually, I wasn't thinking with my best memory when I made that post. At 74, I'm learning that the research on memory & aging is really true. LOL. But I didn't really try very hard on that post, either. Just gave a quick response off the top of my head. Though I doubt I'd have recalled their movie if I HAD of tried harder. LOL.
AND--the OP assigned task was to list 3-5 movies. I did manage that.

I added this onto that post listing the movies I thought of at the time:
