Dina Meyer and Casper Van Dien in Starship Troopers (1997)

Created for the Self Help Radio* show "Planet", which aired on KFFD-LP 98.3/KFFP-LP 90.3 Portland (freeformportland.org) on 4/20/23.  (*not a self help show)

Films on the list are of the Sci-Fi genre and tagged on IMDb with 'alien' and are available for free. (You may need to check IMDb page to find out where.) 

There are tags for "planet" and "alien planet", but the former didn't have some from the latter and there seemed to be a number of solely earth based films, and the latter was just over 90 films, which seemed very low, so I am going with the tag that 1200 plus films and will pick ones for the show from it.  (My picks will be ones that take place on other planets, and those types will have the "shr planet" tag.  All the films here are from the broader category. Might make a second list just for alien planets.)
