While I also don't get the whole scientology thing with Tom he has made some exceptionally good movies over the years
Liked
American Made
Jerry Maguire (unlucky not to get the best actor academy award on this one and The English Patient beats it for best picture? Pffft)
A Few Good Men
Born On The Fourth Of July
The Firm
And for pure entertainment, All the Mission Impossible and Jack Reachers
All very watchable.

If you like your sci fi, more light hearted and sitcom-y, watch a couple episodes of Red Dwarf on Stan. Started in the 80's, had 8 seasons or so....then a decade+ long break, then came back....went away....came back. 12 seasons all up.
Despite all the levity in the show, the concepts would be very much at home in a Star Trek episode.
First season is a bit slow, but it picks up. Short seasons too.

Another movie that is on Stan for ya......Splice.
Bit different....might not be your cup of tea. But its well done and could be a Black Mirror episode the way it plays out.

Long time fan of Red Dwarf. Love it.
Splice is now on the list. Thank you, K.

Not a movie but a ripper Aussie series on Fox is Mr Inbetween. Very dark and funny at the same time, its the story of a Sydney based hitman. Main character is a no name guy, supported by many well known actors across many episodes. Very easy to watch as episodes are 25min long. Give it crack.

Again not movies....
They won't be for everyone's taste but I'm quite partial to some of the Scandanavian TV series of recent times.
Ragnarok (fantasy about Norse Gods and giants in human form) and Occupied (threatened Russian invasion and influence of Norway combined with a strong environmental, energy theme).
The newest one Katla (about a volcano with a bit of a supernatural aspect) looks like it could be a good one too.

Thank you, K. Great tip... loved it!!!
I'm going to give Tenet a watch tonight (after the game... or earlier if it's looking like a disaster!!). Have you seen it yet? Just released on Netflix.
