Red Planet (with Val Kilmer) gets my vote. The landing on Mars is exactly the technology used with the Mars Rover and Voyager landers. The surface of Mars looked like you were really there. Great computer graphics, great space shots, great story. As far fetched as the movie was, it has some really good science and technology written into it.

Whoa, why can't they be from books? I mean, as our scientific understanding of the world has changed, so has the literature that's drawn from that changing understanding, right? So, Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth" DID reflect what many people thought about the Earth in the 1800s (and it's a cool movie). In the 1960s, there was a movie called "Crack in the World" that did NOT reflect plate tectonics AT ALL...but still a pretty good flick, if you like to laugh). More recently there was "The Core" (probably the worst scifi movie ever made in the history of our planet) which sort of tried to get the science right.
There are scientific problems with all of the above, BUT when they were written, the producers believed that they were accurately reflecting the dominant scientific ideas of their day. The last two in the list above were never books, so maybe they'll help you.

The 1955 movie "The Conquest of Space" was as realistic as could be made back in 1955. Of course it is hopelessly dated today, culturally as well as scientifically.
The 1968 movie "2001, a Space Odyssey" would be another choice of mine.
"Apollo 13" is not really science fiction. It is more docudrama, or even documentary, it is so accurate.
All are available on netflix.

You do realize that Jurassic Park: was adapted from the : Michael Crichton novel ...right?
So you're comparing oranges to apples. Not really fair. You leave me no other choice ..Buckaroo Bonsai.

What about "Blade Runner"? It touches on, as accurately as they could at the time, climate change, globalization, transhumanism, genetic engineering and cloning, to name a few. Oh, sorry. It came from the book, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep?" Besides, they never explained how the flying cars worked ....

properly they are talked approximately as technology FICTION for a reason. :) besides the undeniable fact that, many have inspired technology and technologies. Your turn telephone look suspiciously like a famous individual Trek communicator from the unique series.

Apollo 13 is one of the most realistic but is not sci-fi... it is history. Even all the dialogs and the jargon they use has meaning.

The best I've ever seen was "Contact" with Jody Foster.
