District 9

I can think of quite a few movies where humans are the invaders/oppressors actually. The films don't always purposefully portray it as such, but there are plenty on both sides of the fence.

When I go to see a sci-fi movie, I expect for there to be at the very least characteristic differences in the alien species. But in this movie, the emotion was the same, the anatomy was the same.

But isn't the point of the movie that they are just like us? The only difference was in appearance and language?

Awesome, do tell. I might be interested in seeing some of those.

the colonel has several clear motivations for tracking down wikes and we never get a really clear reading on it, it's not just "racism" unless you're inattentive to dialogue and character relationships

Well the professional insult of a loser like Wikus evading him was pretty high up there.
