For animated sci-fi, I'd go with A Scanner Darkly. It is about a future LA deep in a drug war that uses rotoscoping to lean into the feeling that not everything is right.
Deathgasm. It's about a bunch of metalheads that find some sort of old hymn. When played, it summons hoards of demons/zombies. So then they start fucking up the zombies. I vaguely remember one of them being impaled with a dildo? Either way, it was an entertaining "turning your brain off" watch that's pretty unknown afaik.
I liked the movie The Arrival with Charlie Sheen
For comedies: Waiting for Guffman American Movie
For sci fi: Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes (admittedly, foreign so you have to be cool with subtitles.)
Iron Sky from 2012. It doesn’t have good ratings but the first time I watched it with my father, it was hilarious. Granted, the humour is quite dark but the cultural differences that you will come to see are so funny. I liked it, personally, but of course it’s not for everyone.
Blackbeard's Ghost. Watchable on Disney+ right now. Family friendly, great performances and some epic physical comedy from Peter Ustinov (voice of Prince John in Disney's Robin Hood).
