Sunshine is the most memorable, certainly. Never heard of it. Showed up at the campus theater. I was utterly enthralled - wondering how the hell I'd never heard of it. It's a scientific suicide mission, with no meathead archetypes. Any other movie would stick a marine on there to be stupid and aggressive for shallow drama. Nope! This one just uses the cold equations and basic human decency to create conflict. And it has a deep-rooted dedication to its obsession with the sun. Characters sit in a barely-shielded room, staring at their target and their adversary, obsessed with the heavenly body that will kill them. They go on spacewalks in these gorgeous golden suits, reflecting as much light as possible, and even that's not enough sometimes.

And then the third act is a stupid fucking horror movie shot by complete amateurs. I just. I have no idea how this movie happened, as a product. I've read articles where the director talks about the intent, and you can almost sorta kinda see it... but it's still a turd.
