@mariojacobs ,

For your consideration:

The Twilight Zone (TV Series) - The Invaders (1961)

When a woman investigates a clamor on the roof of her rural house, she discovers a small UFO and little aliens emerging from it. Or so it seems.

The Twilight Zone (TV Series) - The Little People (1962)

On a desolate planet, two astronauts discover an entire society populated by incredibly small beings. One of the astronauts decides to rule the society as a god.

For your consideration:

Doctor Who (TV Series) - Into the Dalek (2014)

The Doctor's greatest enemy surrounds a rebel ship. To save everyone, he and Clara must choose to venture into the most dangerous place in the universe. The Doctor is forced to examine his conscience and ask if he is a good man.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3737226/quotes/qt2332820

The Doctor: It miniaturizes living matter. What's the medical application, though? Do you use it to shrink the surgeons so they can climb inside the patients?

Colonel Morgan Blue: Exactly.

The Doctor: Fantastic idea for a movie. Terrible idea for a proctologist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Dalek

... In the episode, the alien time traveller the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and his companion Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) enter the body of a damaged Dalek captured by rebels to determine what is making the usually-hate-filled creature "good". ...

... The Doctor, Clara, and three rebel soldiers are miniaturised so they can enter the Dalek—nicknamed "Rusty" by the Doctor—to determine what is making it good. ...
