'Contact (1997)' is good. One of the best alien movies. Since we are on the topic of fiction, let me add one more, Man From Earth (2007).

I really like the Man From Earth. Terrible acting but good story

The story was written by a famous screenwriter and the film was produced by his family and friends once he passed away.

I actually liked the acting as well. It's more exaggerated than usual american acting, closer to the theatrical acting.

The movie has an awesome premise, and I enjoyed most of it.

But those two twists near the end made me really dislike the movie.

Wonderful film that stands up to repeated viewings. I love the scene where Ellie gets the first hint of a signal and blasts across the desert in her T-bird shouting to her crew through the CB. An early Matthew McConaghy appearance where he hasn't yet succumbed to the inaudible muttering of later work. Contact is based on a Carl Sagan novel, which is also excellent.
