OT: Best Alien Movie

[StllH8L8ner]

Never saw it but I'd be remiss not to mention...

 

[B1GEast]

The Battle for Los Angeles

The Brother from another planet

Alien and Aliens

V the TV series

Invasion of the body snatchers

Cloverfield

Starman

Flash Gordon

MIB

Total Recall

 

[Kathy]

Classic

 

[Scot-e]

Can we include Dune as an alien movie? It is sci fi about alien creatures that provide the spice.

Dune is a total masterpiece.

Looking forward to the new one- if they ever finish it.

 

[Spaceman213J]

Looking forward to the new one- if they ever finish it.

Then the Star Wars, Star Trek, Guardians of the Galaxy and assorted Marvel movies are in....
I don't really care. I'm just busting chops.

 

[Dove]

no order...


District 9

Predator

War of the Worlds [yep, the Tom Cruise version)

Aliens

 

[NEforceUConn]

Alien vs Preditor in the ice cold waters.

If we are going kind of Alien give some love to Riddick and Underworld

Now if we are talking total entertainment value, and this is the men’s board, Nothing beats Megan Fox running in a halter top in transformers.

Redirect Notice

 

[TheChamps990411]

Earth Girls are Easy

 

[NEforceUConn]

No likes for mentioning Megan Fox?

 

[TheChamps990411]

War of the Worlds [yep, the Tom Cruise version)

One of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had coming out of a movie. Spielberg, Cruise and a beloved sci fi property? I thought it was going to be an all time great cinematic experience. Not so much.

 

[QuickDraw]

Amazon Women on the Moon

 

[Hankster]

I honestly don't think I've seen it since 1996, does it hold up? I remember bits and pieces from it though, the boxer that just starts pummeling the aliens, and what ultimately destroys them

If it's the same movie I am thinking about, that boxer was Jim Brown. Wasn't it really deep country music that killed them? lol

Let's test how many aliens are reading this thread...

Oh yea, that's it. LOL

 

[The Funster]

So many good candidates but I choose Alien because it is one of the few movies that literally had me on the edge of my seat for almost the entire movie.

 

[sledog]

Which of the 3Ss do you mean? story, suspense, or shorts soilers??

otherwise, Men in Black 2: 'who let the dogs out- woof-woof--woofwoof'

 

[prankster]

I was going to go with Earth Girls Are Easy, but someone beat me to it.

So my second pick: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Across the Eighth Dimension

 

[Excalibur]

One of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had coming out of a movie. Spielberg, Cruise and a beloved sci fi property? I thought it was going to be an all time great cinematic experience. Not so much.

I thought it was fantastic. The futility of trying to fight a superior being with basic technology, great cinematic depiction of suspense, and just enough nods to its predecessors without being hokey.

 

[Ewekon]

Favorite Allen movie? I have to go with He Got Game I guess. Although that tennis one with ScarJo was pretty good that Allen directed.

Agree with this, has popped up every other day on HBO lately, mindless re-watch.

Also really enjoyed Cloverfield the first time through, not so much on re-watches, and the 2nd one was not even worth a view for me.

"Life" is right up there.....ala Alien.....well done flick

I loved "Forbidden Planet" as a kid growing up.

............and a couple I don't think anyone mentioned yet, both from 1964...........

First Men on the Moon

Robinson Crusoe on Mars

Not sure if either would make my top ten list but I recall both being great flicks.
