some others that quickly come to mind in the smart SYFY genre....
Interstellar
Primer
Sunshine
Moon
Contact
Gattaca
I love Contact, because its one of the few movies that present aliens as neither little green men with triangular eyes, or aggressive lizards determined to eat us all. I wished the scene where Ellie meets her dad again and she figures out he's a download from her memory was longer, because IMO it was just so optimistic about what we may find when we finally discover other life - they dont want us to be scared when they meet us, kinda like we do. Granted the reality is we'll probably just find some bacteria somewhere boring.
