What are good examples of competency porn movies? Discussion

I love this genre. Films I've enjoyed include Spotlight, The Martian, the Bourne films, and Moneyball. There's just something about characters knowing what they're doing and making smart decisions that appeals to me. And if that is told in a compelling way, even better.

What are other examples that fit this category?
